      The question is:

      I have branddomain A (manually penalization by google, one year ago and after 4 consideration requests and more than 3/4 of links removed, stills banned) authority 42

      And and new branddomain B (with fresh content created after penalization in the case of no recovery as it happen) authority 26

      There are no links from A to B, both are now with same traffic but i want people that find me on domain A (partial penalized) to come to my new web brand.  Both domains have same name, different extensión.

      So the question:

      Can i link  with photo domain A to domain B, if i place nofollow and no ancor text on those linked photos.

      I want to have my traffic unified and i dont want to go against google guidelines

        Nofollowing allows you to safely link to another site, but if both sites are targeting the same keyword universe and you are exposing ownership by interlinking, same phone number, same address, same server, similar url and site structure, same database, etc then you are going against Google's guidelines. Interlinking just puts you at more of a risk if that is the case.

          Site is propdental.com to propdental.es (brand url)

          Different content, diferent servers, diferent database,

          same address, same phone numbers, it is my company. I just want to tell traffic that they should go the new page

          What is your suggestion

            I'm wondering if doing a permanent redirect from your old domain to your new would be the thing to do? Hopefully someone else can jump in here and add their expertise as I've never tried this. I do not think the penalty would transfer to the new domain but neither would all the link juice from the old domain, which really isn't doing anything currently since you are being penalized.

            I have a client whose old SEO company ended up getting them penalized. We have not filed a reconsideration request since we are only 48% of the way going through the spammy backlinks and asking for them to be removed. Most webmasters aren't responding but some are and I have noticed our rankings increase considerably even though no reconsideration request has been filed. Have you tried going through ask asking for all the spammy links to be removed? If not then that may be why they have not removed the penalty.

              You cannot get a site out of a penalty from redirecting the banned or penalized site to a new domain. If you're only looking to link images to the unpenalized site you're probably fine if you nofollow them since image links don't push rank. Keep the alt tag off of them so you're not suggesting any semantics. To be really safe if done properly you could javascript them.
