Cross-linking research complete

This blog has been used for one of my projects to show the cross-linking penalty can affect blogs. I developed five blogs on seperate topics and after building them up with strong relevant content, a pagerank of 2, and a few backlinks I cross-linked the life out of them. Every post had at least one link to one of the five blogs and the next thing I knew there was a big spider web. It took five weeks before Google caught on…it’s too bad because all five blogs were in the top five for major keywords in the SERPs. Thats why it’s called research.
What is my next project? Pull this blog out of the penalty and achieve top five for the search phrase “John M Weaver” again. Also see if page rank can be recieved again.
