Are multiple links devalued on the same domain?

[MichaelWeisbaum]

I'm in negotiations to get links placed on a popular blog with good stats.  I'm allowed to pick older posts on the site, and I get to pick the anchor text.  Is it best practice to diversify the links by having different keywords pointing to different pages or am I better off pointing as many links as I can at one page (varying anchor text)?

Also, is it best to pick a more recent blog post, or is it ok to pick one from say, 2009?

I would suggest that you keep the number of outbound links per page on blog as low as possible as each additional link reduces effect of others. Also, I wouldn't link more than once per page to your site, irrespective of differing anchor text, context, etc. You should pick the most up to date blogs and of course also use your MozBar to measure PA of these pages. That said, the process you describe is not the most natural link building process

Thanks for your input Sean.  Kind of what I was thinking.  I understand it's not the most natural process, haha.
