    You can search blogs which related to your niche through: blogsearch.google.com and technorati.com.

    Then you check traffic statistic at quantcast.com. Make sure to each blog has high traffic. You send an offer to webmaster through email, you tell that you want to write a guest blogging for him/ her - the webmaster doesn't need to pay a single dime to you. So you can put your own link into the guest blogging, here is your blog/ site will get traffic.

    If you don't know about to write a guest blogging, you can hire someone to write.

    I use myblogguest for clients and it's amazing. It works better for some niches than others though. Also, if you want really high-quality places for your top notch guest posts, you're better off looking for CUSTOM guest post partnerships instead of using an automated broker like MBG. Custom guest posts require longer posts (1000 to 2000 words) and if you are doing list posts, we're talking at least a top 30 or top 50 list. Also, some require lots of photos. The upside is you get DIRECT TRAFFIC, niche branding, and yes, a solid backlink from a high PR site.

    You can find any blogs which serves your interest. Contact them either by using their contact form or simply email them if they enlisted an email id on their site.

    Ask them about your purpose and if they are interested to post your writing.

    If you get the permission, then you write an article on the topic that both of you have agreed upon and send it to them for publishing.

    But here one obstacle you might encounter with, that is you won't always get the chance to write on your topic of interest and you never get a link from the body of the article, to get a link back to your site or blog you have to write an author bio, that's the only place you'll get the chance to incorporate your link.

    You can kill two birds with one stone if when you contact the sites you are going to guest blog on, you offer them the chance to guest blog on yours.

    Hope this helps.

    Anna,

    Depending on your niche, you would go to Google and can do a search for your niche blogs.

    I would be careful because now a days, most blogs will not approve other people's comments because they pretty much figured it out that they just post a comment to get a back link to their website.

    If you can get them to approve your comments then all the power to you. Good luck.

    Make sure that you also learn how to market online with other techniques.

    Sites which does provide guest blogging opportunity, they usually have a tab called "Guest Posting" or something like that. Also contacting the site owner with your own piece of writing is a very good idea.

    Is this just glorified link exchange or paid links?

    After the recent updates of the giant search engine Google named panda and penguin guest blogging should be buzzing work through the online marketeers. Take a look at what SEOmoz says about it -

    You should target the new blogs first.

    Spend more time connecting with other bloggers.

    Slowly increase the pace.

      I would create google alerts for keywords like "guest blog with us"+ your niche, and what for them to come on my email. In the meantime, Googling my niche for blogs looking for guest bloggers, or contacting directly blog owners is a fair thing to do. Worked for me. See also what Linkedin can do for you, by exploring the site, groups, companies etc. and connect with like-mided people there.

    Try googling for terms like top blogs for "niche". Or you could use Technorati. It lists down the most popular blogs in categories..

    Do a google search for guest posting "keyword". You need to find blogs in your niche and relevant to what you can offer.

    Then check out the traffic for that blog using Alexa. You'll be able to find out a lot about the readers and whether they will be your target market.

    If you want guest blogs on your own blog then make sure you have a obvious place for people to send you a request to guest post.

    What I do is manual prospecting. Find blogs decently ranked in your niche, contact the blog owner, pitch to them on what your piece can do for them.

      Just Google it 'list of blogs accept guest posts' and make a spreadsheet, contact blog owners and approach them with proper introduction template.
