Multiple guest posts from one site have any effect on rankings?

[SamCUK]

I have started guest blogging and have sites asking me for more content. I understand that regular guest blogging is great for building authority as an author and has the potential to get more links through word of mouth and other sites linking to me. The more posts I do the more exposure I get.

But if I have say 3 or 4 posts on an external site with each linking to my site (to a different url and with different anchor text) does that have any effect on rankings as all links come from the same domain? As I understand it links from different root domains are what matters. Presumably a site with links from 5 different sites with 10 links on each external domain totalling 50 links wouldn't rank as well as a site with links from 50 different domains (1 per domain)?

Hey Samuel,

Multiple links from one site can help with rankings:

1. If you are targeting different keywords (anchor texts) with each post, you can improve your rankings for different keywords with multiple posts on the same blog.
2. As posts get older and are pushed off the homepage into the archives, their link value diminishes. Getting a fresh link up on the homepage can thus boost your rankings even if you wrote for that blog previously in the past.

So getting multiple guest posts on the same blog can still be beneficial. Also getting multiple posts on the same blog may be more beneficial than getting posts from different blogs if there is a disparity in domain authority. Getting multiple links from the New York Times is better than having links from 10 random blogs.
