Cross-Linking Multiple Sites - Bad For SEO?

After my little brush-up with Youtube yesterday, we decided to post our new video on Revver instead. BTW, I also got definitive confirmation from Youtube that this is indeed the case. They said:

We’re no longer offering the option to upload videos longer than 10 minutes, regardless of your account type. If you see a video on YouTube that’s longer than 10 minutes, it’s probably owned by one of our content partners. There are also some users who can upload longer videos because they were given this permission before the feature was removed.

In the meantime, I have posted this video presentation which discusses how to cross-link your websites without harming your SEO. Many webmasters, including myself, I have more than one website. The instinct is to cross-link all of them in order to promote them - especially when you have one site which is much more popular than the others. However, it might not always be a good idea to do that. Search engines recognize cross-linking and reciprocal links and do not look at them the same as a one-way link into your site. So, check out the video below for more.
