Sorry for asking, but how did you go about finding an abandoned website?

One fun place to look is Yahoo directory. http://dir.yahoo.com/

It's full of abandoned "web 1.0" sites that may still get a sizable amount of traffic, but the owners don't care about any more.

Probably worth just spending a while and sending emails to several site owners and seeing if any bite.

sitepoint.com has a marketplace. Lots of crap in there but you may find a blog or site that's relevant with decent traffic or keyword rankings in your niche. Anyone else have a link similar to sitepoint?

I don't know about him, but I'd go to DMOZ and open all the links in the relevant category.
