Where to find a directory of industry bloggers

[GaryVictory]

Could anyone out there recommend directory sites containing industry specific bloggers or industry specific guest blogs.

Always seems very difficult to come by. For example we have written a great article collaborating with a "hardwood flooring" company and would love to get this published.

We are in London. Happy holidays to you all

I wouldn't worry about trying to find a directory, instead let Google do all the work with some highly specific queries. My favorite approach is using the "inurl" modifier to target any website with specific words in the URL. Here are some examples.

To find a blog that offers guest blogging:

• inurl:blog + guest blog + hardwood flooring
• inurl:blog + article submission + hardwood flooring
• inurl:blog + "guest blog" + home improvement + floors
• inurl:resources + "guest blog" + home improvement + floors
• inurl:articles + "guest blog" + home improvement + floors

You can then simply keep trying different combinations until you find a nice long list of opportunities for outreach. Good luck!

Google is definitely your friend in this regard.  If you can find something easily on Google, a link from them will generally carry more weight.  Directories are mostly out of fashion at this point, as is some forms of guest blogging.  It's fair to assume a site relying on a directory for guest posts on their blog is doing a lot of things Google isn't fond of anymore, and a link from them would not be valuable.
