Hello Paddy,

Thanks for chiming in! Yes these are all great feedback and I agree.

So what I am testing the theory is with posting a handful of articles (10-20 all unique) to high DA/MozTrust websites like HG.org, EzineArticles, etc... HubPages, etc.   and probably around 2-3 as guest posts on other well ranking / trusted attorney sites.

Cheers!

Yes we have been following that rule of thumb as well. We have been picky what sites are posting our articles.

Checking authority of the posting website's backlinks, checking spam score, MozTrust score, IP c-block, etc..

That didn't really answer the question.  Of course we do other methods of good link building.  Yes, we do explain our expertise in the articles as well. Our firm has the most criminal case victories (over 4,000) and the most Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists of any firm in Arizona, to label an attorney as a specialists is a difficult task to achieve.

My question simply was is it beneficial to have 4 different articles with links from a relevant site, or just 1 article?

Also side note, that link you sent is over 4 years old, surely some aspects have changed over that time.

Thanks for the posts guys!  I agree about the relevancy of the links is the main factor.

What brings up the question is we have other websites across the US in the same practice area as us that will post 2-4 guest articles with contextual links.

My question is, is it worth have 2-4 articles from one highly relevant website, or will 1 article have the same weight?

How many backlinks from one domain is too many? 1? 3? 10?

For example, directory listings. If you have 5 separate links to one website in lets say DMOZ (good for you!), is it really only "juicy" one time? Or each one just as awesome?

What about multiple guest articles on a related website?  If I had 2 or 3 articles on one website that each have different contextual links, is it just the same as if I had one article?
