    I was wondering if anyone has any advice on guest posting for quality blogs. I used to guest post a lot, but now it seems a bit difficult to get anyone's attention. Many of my inquiries go unanswered. Is this just a backlash from people submitting crap articles for SEO purposes?

    This looks more like a link development question to me, rather than copywriting. Your problem is that people don't want strangers contributing to their sites because
    • they'll probably have to rewrite anyway to make it publishable
    • the articles probably won't be that useful
    • they only want to be professionally associated with people they know well enough to be confident of their ethics etc
    • they will be legally liable for anything you write
    • they are quite happy with their current sources of content
    You'd do better to post in the Buy/Sell/Trade area here (under content creation) - or look in that section for people actively looking for guest posters.

    I checked out that section. I'm not looking to sell my articles and didn't see any trade options. Thanks.

    There is the link exchange section - if you aren't trying to sell then presumably you want links as payment instead.
