is linking your own yet not related sites bad for SEO? What's your reason for inter-linking them? it depends. If you're doing it to increase brand awareness then I don't see anything wrong with it. Just check out the footer of citysearch.com. Many of the major Internet media companies do it in this way.

but what would be the effect in terms of SEO if i link a site to different sites which aren't in anyway related? If your just linking your sites in an attempt to manufacture PageRank it's against the Webmaster Guidelines and falls under link schemes intended to manipulate PageRank.
Why chance it? It's not like you're going to be able to boost your PageRank significantly and you can probably accomplish the same goal without jeopardizing your sites. It is ok if you are just looking for back links. If you are looking for quality page ranking and backlinks, then it is not advisable. Try look for backlinks from the same niche.

In my own experiences, such inter-links would be helpful for increasing your link popularity, especially when those sites are on different IPs.
