Techniques for Finding Blogs that Accept Guest Blog Posts
-
I'm running into an issue where we are having difficulty finding blogs that accept guest blog posts after doing this on 300 or so blogs. We usually Google "guest post" related keywords with "blog" or take blogs off of lists of sites that accept guest blog posts. What techniques do you recommend? Do any of you use myblogguest.com with any success?

Finding blogs can certainly be difficult when you've guest posted on 300+ blogs in your niche. I wrote a YouMoz post last year about ways to find guest post opportunities - perhaps that could be of some inspiration?
I also created a free tool to help generate queries to find guest post opportunities based on a variety of keywords - it sounds similar to the method you've used to find current guest post opportunities, but perhaps there are a couple query variations that you haven't tried yet - check it out here: Guest Post Opportunity Finder.
Aside from that, what comes to mind is figuring out ways to post on blogs that may not be directly related to your niche - in other words, horizontal guest blogging. For example, if you are doing SEO for a construction company, don't solely focus on construction blogs, but figure out ways to create content that can be shopped to real estate, home improvement, and green or sustainable building blogs. Sugarrae wrote an awesome post that talks about horizontal guest blogging.

I use the Ontolo link toolset to help me find and prospect for blogs for guest posting. It's not free but it works really well and has saved me a ton of time / made my life a lot easier. They do have a free trial though. You can get info at www.ontolo.com
(No outside relationship here, just a happy user of their software)

Yes, I have had pretty good success with myblogguest.com. The best chances are those with the most recent postings in "looking for writers". I have about a 1 in 4 success rate in publishing when I feel I have strong content. Then look at all the blogs in the system database, they have a much lower response rate much less approval rate but I have find some gems.
I would imagine anyone publishing on over 300 sites would know this, but I have found some good contacts in the Cathy Stucker email, sign up at http://www.bloggerlinkup.com/. As a caution, I found when you offer the post and someone inquires about it, they have stolen it without linking. Check their site before you give out your content. If a site has posted needing content, always has been safe.

Is guest posting going the way of paid blog links?
As the Penguin update continues to change the way sites do SEO, many have moved towards guest posting as a "white hat" means of getting links from legitimate related sites. Now, admittedly, the content that is being posted via guest blogging seems to be much higher than the crap that was being posted on article directories and such. You also don't get the duplicate content like you did with the spun articles and mass submissions. But, guest blogging is becoming as ubiquitous as the paid blog links (i.e payperpost, etc.). I for one, have used guest posting, although I am not 100% sold on the results. It seems that with the increase of guest blog networks, these links are becoming as easy to get as the article directory links. Doesn't that lessen the SEO value of the links? And here the question that is always pestering: If you have quality content, why would you ever place it on someone else's site? This is the meat of the discussion: Shouldn't guest blogging be limited to unique opportunities (i.e a VERY established guest blogger in your niche)? Or is it okay to post content on as many related legitimate blogs as you can? Thoughts...ideas....

Does PA matter much on blogs like tumblr, wordpress.com?
I've been exploring setting up pages on these type of sites. When searching for key words I've discovered the following... If a sites DA id let's say 83, the root domain you create is also an 83 (not 100% but most I've looked at) The PA starts at 1, but there seem to be a lot of these blog sites that rank for my key word searches even though the PA is a 1. So... I was wondering the value of attempting the get the PA of mine greater than one with back links. The blog page will link to the corresponding page on my main site. Is it worth the time, or PA in this case is not really much of a ranking factor in creating link juice? What I'm asking is that will a page on let's say joemastriano.blogspot.com/ (whatever) get more link juice to the page i link it to if the PA was 25 and not 1?
