Inspired by an article from Blogsessive – How a Great Backlink Can Make You An Instant Success – I started to scan my favorite design blogs in order to see who’s accepting guest writers. To my surprise I found no more no less than 20 well known blogs from the design & development ecosystem that are looking for awesome freelance writers.

I would also suggest to you my own 1stwebdesigner site you missed, though I think you missed many beautiful blogs, which are even paying very well for quality articles so you get backlinks, payment and personal contact – all in one!
inspiredmag August 14, 2009
I think you should suggest some links rather than deliver negative feedback. cheers!
Stefan August 14, 2009
Great post for me since I'm currently looking for some sites to become active. Thanks.

trendland August 14, 2009
Cyanatrendland.com is also looking, but its not only in Design, its a little more wide… Fashion, photography, trends, art, design… if you guys are interested… contact us on http://www.trendland.net
Dainis Graveris August 14, 2009
Hey, I didn't mean negative feedback!
I definitely think sixrevisions should be included, noupe.com ( only thing you must contact with them personally). These are just examples, what I mean – if you write good articles and don't put payment in the first place -every design blog owner would be just happy to get some guest post and daily relief.
Of course, if payment is the first focus, there should be another list be created showing actually how much people pay for quality articles..:) Sounds like good article idea for me:)
Finally thanks for adding my site, I really appreciate!
You should also fix SmashingMagazine title, now it's a little bit misspelled.
Have a good day :)
Luis Lopez August 19, 2009
Great article but really miss some good blogs..
Sixrevisions, Noupe, myinkblog, problogdesign, all the tuts+ network: flashtuts+, cgtuts+, psdtuts+, vectortuts+, and also all the fuel network etc…. normally they pay for the article some good money but for free, there are even more.
Anyway is a great idea for a post.
Karinne August 19, 2009

This is a comprehensive list with many good blogs. A must-have list for every freelancer. Other blogs suggested above by others also look very interesting!
Submiting articles and guest posts on popular blogs with high PR is definitely one of the most effective ways to build your blog’s ranking in search engines.
