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?

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!

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."

It's a good site.
Squidoo nofollows links.

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.

Backlinks from non-relevant site
There's a forum I used to participate in that allows you to include a link to your website in your signature block. I have over 500 posts in the forum so that provides a lot of backlinks to my website. However, I recently decided to remove my website link from my signature for two reasons: The forum is 95-99% dead. Hardly anyone uses it anymore. BTW, the website that houses the forum is still popular within is niche (articles, etc). Just the forum appears to be dead. The website and its forum really have no connection whatsoever to my business. I'm in a completely different niche. However, I have no idea if I've made the right decision. Will removing my signature and the backlinks hurt my site? Or will it help it since the other site really isn't related to mine? Thanks for any thoughts on this!

When do backlinks start helping?
I have been working hard at getting quality backlinks but I had a lot of keywords slip in rankings this week. This may because I have been extremely busy for a week and haven't added a lot of content to my site. But I thought the backlinks would be helping. How long does it take backlinks to start boosting your site and what results should I see? I am focusing on getting backlinks from a site with a PR of 7. The others have a PR of 4-5. They are the BEST sites in my niche.
