Finding Guest Bloggers
-
Does anyone have good tips for finding someone who can do guest blogging for me? I don't have the time to track down good blogs to post on.

I find the guest blogging classifies horrible these days. Like all things SEO they were great for a while and now its so full of people that wouldn't pass Grade 2 English that it's a waste of time. It's just a little too hit and miss. I would simply find some blogs you love that are in a similar niche and probably about the same size in terms of online standing and send out a 'how do you do' email. If you like their blog then you already know they have an agreeable writing style so you're half way there. Either that or hire a content writer (like me!) . Many content writers rates are quite inexpensive, especially if you get say 10 articles for a set price.

Put up a sign. Make the requirements really steep.
Something will appear in your email.

Check out http://myblogguest.com/ - it's a forum where you can request content (for free) by category and people will send you posts. I've used it a little and find it to be an overly good community.
Alternatively you could try www.odesk.com which is a website where you pay for resource (people bid on your job so it's a cheap alternative). I've had good and bad resource from there so when hiring just be sure to ask for a sample of their writing first.

Have you checked out http://myblogguest.com/ ?
I've thought about this and an idea i'm going to test out is a banner on my blog, a really visual one that would lead users to a landing page explaining why I would like guest bloggers to apply.
I would detail this page with screenshots showing what a guest blog would look like, featuring them in a big author section (this might include a picture of their choice, their interests, their website etc). They are doing the hard work of writing a great blog, it just makes sense to give a beautiful layout to showcase their work.
Another idea I thought about was a thumbs up or thumbs down option, users who read the article can thumb it, the more thumbs, the more it might motivate the individual to submit more. Plus, it might spur other readers to submit as well.

Guest Blogging - Home Page PR0
I have found a blog in my niche that accepts guest posts. However, the site is quite odd in that the homepage has a PR of 0 and all the other pages have a 2. I just wanted to check if it is still worth posting on this site as it looks suspicious to me. Thanks.

Ideas for Redesigning, Relaunching, and Revitalizing a Community of Bloggers
As a longtime user (now the owner) of a great site that was down a few times over the last couple of years I am looking for advice on how to let the over 100,000 members that have used us know that we are back and now supported fully by a team of people that love the site and what we stand for (quality, curated content and blog carnivals). We did a complete redesign, removed old carnivals, removed inactive users, deleted lower quality carnivals, and fixed some portions of the site that were less than optimal (aka broken). Should we attempt to email everyone, or let them naturally come back? In case it's not clear, we are from BlogCarnival.com.

Guest Blogging Question
Hi Everyone, Bit of a serious question here for me, Is it worth doing a guest post on a blog more then 2 times? As an example one blog I guest post on has a homepage PR6 which I have posted 2 times, now they have requested another guest post but im thinking would it just be better to guest post on a different blog? So my question in simple terms is: 5 guest posts on two PR6 websites or 10 guest posts on ten different blogs with PR3
