          The best way to find the best opportunities is to read a ton of blogs in your industry and develop relationships with the most popular blogs in your niche by doing things like leaving thoughtful comments or engaging in conversations. The best guest post opportunities are on high authority sites that will send you significant traffic. If anyone can get an easy link from a site with minimal effort it probably has minimal SEO value. A good sign is if the articles on the site have a lot of social shares like Tweets, +1's, and Facebook Likes.

            With all of Google's reiterating lately about 'If you build content, links will come' I'd tread carefully here.  Better to create stellar, link worthy content that earns traffic on its own.  Plus, with all of the concern about passing page rank, many bloggers are moving toward nofollowing.

            Create awesome content, market cautiously, analyze what gets traffic and what doesn't.  Refine. Rinse. Repeat or Adjust accordingly to what your audience wants and needs.

            That said, myblogguest.com, is a community of guest bloggers featured by noneother than Moz, Search Engine Land and BlogHer.  Looks like it's kind of a 'dating site' for blog content.

            Good luck!

              Go for sites that have readers who are interested in your subject area. YouMoz is a great place for a case study about your marketing efforts, but submitting a post about how to close you swimming pool for the winter and what chemicals to use will get your submission deleted and your account banned -- even if it's a great post that gives information that's really helpful and has relevant links.  You're looking for a place where your content is a good match for the site.

                  Guest Blogging Question? How many links in an article?

                  I am being offered by a blog to have more than 5 links in an article that points directly to our money sites. The blog is in the same niche. This is the first time i am being offered more than 2-3 links in an article. Should i do it? How many links should be in an article so not to be penalized by Google? Does it look unnatural to have more links in an article that points to the same site but different pages? Thanks

                  Blog articles on website vs submitting to article submission sites

                  I had some articles created for a client. The site is on WordPress. I'm wondering if it is best to add the articles to the blog page of the website or if it is better to submit the articles to ezine articles. Or can I submit the same article to both places? Is there a strategy that should be followed generally speaking when creating content for the blog vs article submission sites? The goal is to increase the ranking for target keywords. I realize that the answers could take a lot of different directions. But generally speaking I would like to know, If I have an article where is the best place to add it to achieve better rankings for target keywords? Thanks for the help.

                  How can I find all the outbound links from a website domain?

                  I want to find all the outbound links (basically whatever comes in <a>tag) from a domain (say www.abc.com) as well as all the subdomains under it (say abc.com/a etc). Open Site Explorer provides the inbound links from a website but does not provide any functionality to get all the outbound links from a website. Is it possible to do?</a> <a>Thanks in advance.

                  Multiple guest posts from one site have any effect on rankings?

                  I have started guest blogging and have sites asking me for more content. I understand that regular guest blogging is great for building authority as an author and has the potential to get more links through word of mouth and other sites linking to me. The more posts I do the more exposure I get. But if I have say 3 or 4 posts on an external site with each linking to my site (to a different url and with different anchor text) does that have any effect on rankings as all links come from the same domain? As I understand it links from different root domains are what matters. Presumably a site with links from 5 different sites with 10 links on each external domain totalling 50 links wouldn't rank as well as a site with links from 50 different domains (1 per domain)?

                  How can I verify who links to me?

                  I need to verify all the inbound links I have coming in to my site.  I've tried using OSE but have been told it does not scrape many smaller sites so cannot be sure of it's accuracy (especially since when I ran it, it returned a small % of the link i know are out there). Is there a way to do this in Analytics?  Or another way? Thanks
