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.

How can I find and fix my broken links
There are a number(110) links that SEOmoz has found to have 404 errors. I have been able to find and fix many of them but there are links that are coming from our home page that do not seem to exist. I cannot even find the links in our system in wordpress. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Is there a way to locate where the links are originating from?

Site Published Our Guest Post but Removed the Link Back
I recently developed a nice article for a career site and they agreed to publish it as a guest post. Once they published the article I noticed they had removed the link back to my site in the byline. What is a best way to approach this situation? Would you ask them to take down the article if they are unwilling to link back to your site?

Linking strategy between my own sites
Hi, I have one main site, let's call it food.com I also have 10 smaller sites, let's call them mexicanfood.com, indianfood.com, italianfood.com etc food.com is on its own separate dedicated server the 10 smaller sites are all on a shared IP in hostgator I don't want Google to think that I have created the 10 sites for only purpose of creating links to each other. So, would you recommend that all those 10 sites link to each other? or should there be no interlinking within those 10 same IP domains? What about linking from those 10 sites to my main site? How should I structure my own backlinks not to get penalized by Google ?

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
