I answer a LOT of questions here on SEOmoz. Don't forget that you have access to a lot of tools here like the Beginners guide to SEO http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo.
Piece of advice from me to you... if you are trying to rank higher by doing something that can be easily done (like paid links, directory submissions, article submissions, and even crappy guest blog posts, blog network for backlinks), there is a HIGH likeliness that you will unintentionally hurt your site.
Ask questions here in Q&A before doing something stupid, but 1st read the beginners guide.

Good reminder. Much like anything in life, if a SEO tactic seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Kind of funny, but I just realized I piggybacked something onto your thread, but this is a discussion after all ; )

Great reminder Francisco!
I'd also add a request to NOT piggyback a different issue to someone else's Q&A, even if you think it's tangentially related.
It's fine if you want to comment "Me too" if you're having the exact same issue, but if you spin the question off into a different direction, you're less likely to receive an answer. (If you do that, there's a good chance your question is going to be at the bottom of the thread and might not be seen if someone's already answered the question above your added question.)

Reputable Place For Guest Posts
We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.
