Does it help to have more than one backlink from the same website?

I have received two follow links from a website with a domain authority of 64 because I contributed to 2 blog posts. Will it help my site to get more back links from this same website or should I focus my efforts elsewhere?

Think about it like this. If you got 2 links from CNN, wouldn't you want more?

Don't get backlinks from bad websites even if they have a high page rank. Squidoo is an example of this.

It's a good site.

Squidoo nofollows links.

I'd listen to the first line from Francisco, but disagree about Squidoo.  You can get quality traffic from a quality written squidoo article.

Two links from the same website most likely will not hurt you and should help.  Make sure you are getting authorship credit for those two blog posts.  I think it's pretty obvious that you don't want all your links to come from the same website, but 2-3 is okay.  It says to the search engines, "This site is good enough to receive multiple links on different pages within this high domain site."

If the website is great then there is no problem!

You get 2 backlinks from CNN, now if you have a choice to get one more... will you reject it?

Other than the fact that link helps in getting better rankings... links also drive referral traffic to your website which can also convert in to leads and sales....so if the website is good and can drive traffic... then I would say go for it!
