How do you find quality guest post sites (DR & traffic based)?

[candacelarisa22]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to build a solid list of guest post opportunities, but I want to focus on sites with decent DR and real organic traffic — not just random blogs.
What methods or tools do you usually use to find these kinds of sites?

Do you:

Use search operators on Google?
Check competitors’ backlinks?
Use SEO tools for filtering DR and traffic?
Also, how do you make sure the sites are actually worth it (not spammy or PBNs)?
Would love to hear your approach and any tips that work well for you.

Thanks!
