Hello all,

Other than My Blog Guest, what are the currently recommended platforms for submitting quality content for guest blogging opportunities?

Thanks!

Guy

You can also check out blogger link up (an email list sent three times a week) with opportunities for guest posts, and also check out Zemanta

I would look for sites that are specific to your industry. You might find these through Twitter, or by using advanced search operators in Google, such as:

intitle:"guest post" AND [your keyword]

Following up on what Mark wrote, buzzstream has a great generator tool for creating these queries - http://tools.buzzstream.com/link-building-query-generator

It's very helpful

If you have overgrown My Blog Guest, I do recommend you try going straight to high-profile bloggers directly. MBG is good for a start as well as for scaling: you try your hand at guest blogging meeting people who are there exactly to receive guest articles. You can learn to meet other people's requirements, brainstorm interesting topics, etc. It's easier in terms of hearing back and getting your article placed.

The truth is, high-traffic blogs don't use platforms because they receive hundreds of guest post pitches weekly. They hardly need more. So if you want to go to the next level, use Marks' suggestions below and go to Google.
