Interlinking sites: Question as I'm not sure

[whiskymac]

If when building a big site say a house or xmas site do you get penalised by the search eng, for using a page from your other niche sites and linking back to them not that they form all of your mother site just a way of using all your websites.

No. If you overdo it, i.e., interlinking a large number of sites, you probably will have the links devalued. But in normal practice, linking between a small number of sites you own will not be an issue.

I'm assuming that "braw" is a good thing... although I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable telling people in my neck of the planet that I'm braw...
