Interlinking 60 ccTLD country versions of website

[lcourse]

We will be launching 60 new ccTLD country versions of an established core website.
Quality, human translated content in 35 languages.
We have a CSS dropdown menu with the 60 country flags and country/language name as anchor text. Formatted as deeplinks to the corresponding pages in the 60 country versions, that we planned to add on each page.

How would you recommend to implement the interlinking between these 60 ccTLD?

My concerns are:

1. won't we dillute the link value of our links in the main page content too much with links to 60ccTLD on each page?
2. may we trigger a google penalty as the new ccTLD have no other links yet and each page will have the same anchor text and links from exactly the same 60 domains.
3. would you  place the country dropdown rather at the bottom of the page (e.g.  footer) to avoid that google will not crawl all links in main content page.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated

Hi Daniel

This is first time I'm thinking a SEO situation like this. Thanks for the question

My Suggestion

What  about creating a common page for all version on the core website.

For example consider www.example.com as your core website.

Create a page  called www.example.com/all-version , some thing like wikipedia main page ( http://www.wikipedia.org )

From each ccTLD Change Language option will take the user to the above all version page

Just a suggestion, consider others feedback too
