2 backlinks on same site help rankings?

Hey all,

I was curious to know if 2 different backlinks placed on the same site both with different anchor text positively impact rankings?

or

is it that you can only benefit from having 1 backlink per domain?

Thanks

    So does anybody know the answer to this? Wow, did not think this was such a hard question...

    I've had success with ranking the same article for two different keywords where both the keywords were in one anchor text that I spread around to various sites I was backlinking from.

    Kind of like:
    anchor text: "Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen"
    ranking for:
    "Mary Kate Olsen"
    and
    "Ashley Olsen".

    So I can't see any reason why having the same backlink with two or more different anchor texts wouldn't work. Really though, this is the kind of question you can answer for yourself by trying it out.

    It can't hurt to have 2. But I wouldn't go much beyond that. I "think" the 2nd one will carry less weight than on 2 high PR domains alone.

    It would help if the two links were on two different pages that are both relevant.

    If you have a site with two articles on your keyword, and a link on each, this will be quite effective. If you have a second link on a page that's irrelvant to your keyword, it won't make much difference to just having one in my experience.

    Hope this helps,
    Chris
