Recommended Guest Blogging Platforms
-
Hello all,
Other than My Blog Guest, what are the currently recommended platforms for submitting quality content for guest blogging opportunities?
Thanks!

If you have overgrown My Blog Guest, I do recommend you try going straight to high-profile bloggers directly. MBG is good for a start as well as for scaling: you try your hand at guest blogging meeting people who are there exactly to receive guest articles. You can learn to meet other people's requirements, brainstorm interesting topics, etc. It's easier in terms of hearing back and getting your article placed.
The truth is, high-traffic blogs don't use platforms because they receive hundreds of guest post pitches weekly. They hardly need more. So if you want to go to the next level, use Marks' suggestions below and go to Google.

Following up on what Mark wrote, buzzstream has a great generator tool for creating these queries - http://tools.buzzstream.com/link-building-query-generator
It's very helpful

I would look for sites that are specific to your industry. You might find these through Twitter, or by using advanced search operators in Google, such as:
intitle:"guest post" AND [your keyword]

You can also check out blogger link up (an email list sent three times a week) with opportunities for guest posts, and also check out Zemanta

Getting links on old blog posts
There's 100 of blogs with posts that link to my competitors, but don't link to my site.They are mostly lists. Eg: "The best Sites to get blue widgets" I was thinking about getting in touch with these blogs, and asking them to take a look at my site, to see if perhaps they would add it to the list. In fact, I started doing it and I got some links already. Now I am starting to worry that Google could consider these links as unnatural, because, you know, the algos are not exactly perfect. Anyway, the links are important for the exposure anyway. I've two questions: 1. Is there any chance I'll be penalized? 2. May I get a SEO benefit from this links?

The better my blog gets, the lower my rankings!
My blog was hit by Google Panda on July 21. My rankings dropped dramatically overnight. Nothing I do is helping. In fact, the day my guest post was published on one of the biggest blogs in my niche (DA over 70) my Google impressions dropped to an all time low and then got worse. (250 impressions and 12 clicks) You can see the first drop and the second drop in these screenshots and yes Google Webmasters and Google Analytics match. http://tinypic.com/r/2dvtvlj/5 http://tinypic.com/r/4u83t4/5 I am getting more fans, subscribers, traffic etc but my Google traffic just gets worse. I would really like to get some organic traffic! But I have no idea why this is happening. I checked manual actions and there is nothing. I cleaned up crawl errors and duplicate content. I get several backlinks a week within my niche from high authority sites. I just don't get it and I am very discouraged. What should I do?

Consolidating many external blogs onto main website: canonicals or 301s
Hi Everyone, Presently I have many blogs across a range of domains, each one targeting the client/type of user interested in that product (or service in this case). I originally set up this strategy to use the content of each blog to create a "link juice farm" (our products are educational courses so have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT target market depending on the course area), which in turn links to the related page/course on our main site. My plan is to move all the content from those external blogs into subcategories on my main website blog in order to increase its traffic, authority etc. Originally, I was going to cut and paste the content, then put in appropriate 301 redirects from the external blogs to the main site. However, I then thought about copying all the content to my main site, setting it as the canonical version, and leaving all the external blogs intact and running. The idea being, I still get the benefit of all those external links pointing back at my main website. Which would be the better strategy for me to pursue? Thanks in advance for your insights, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out with this question.

Guest Blogging
Hi there, Recently I have been using guest blogging as part as my link building strategy which is doing pretty well so far. Just a few question on this: Once I have managed to put a guest post on a blog, is there any SEO value in contributing to the same blog again? Kind Regards

Guest Post Label Devalue Links?
My link builders are doing an excellent job of creating well written articles with my links in the body of the text. However, most of them state it is a guest post at the top or bottom of the post. I also notice that the sites the articles are on frequently accept guest posts. 1. Does having the label "guest post" devalue the links at all? 2. Does the fact that the sites often allow for guest posts devalue the links?

How do I distribute blog content?
Morning Mozzers! I work for an online wedding retailer and we add new, unique, high quality content to our blogs on a daily basis. After adding the new content we Tweet it and mention it on our Facebbok page. My question is this: how can I distribute the content to generate back links? Any example sites or case studies of things you guys have done in the past would be great! Thanks in advance.
