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.

Blogger Outreach - have you used this service before?
Hi, Has anyone used blogdash.com before? It says it has over 100,000 blog owners registered, which does sound good but when you look at the sites own social following its very poor and when you start to dig a little deeper you can find blog owner profiles like this: http://www.blogdash.com/blogger/ari-herzog First view, you think Ari Herzog has signed up to Blog Dash and you can pitch him content for blogs such as Huffington Post and Mashable, took about 10 seconds to realise he isn't actually part of the network as the yellow box is asking him to signup if he ever finds that page. Has anyone used this service? I can imagine 2% out of the 100,000 are actually members who have signed up.

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.
