          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.

            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!

              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.
