The best thing for site searching is the spell Acashic record, which finds all sites in a province regardless of the school. Mountain, forest and wasteland provinces have higher chance to contain magic sites, so maybe you were searching in wrong places? Also, some really cool sites require level 4 to find, so your rainbow mage might not be powerful enough to do it. You can also use school-specific ritual spells to do the searching - they cost gems, but find all sites in that particular school if there are any in the province (it shows as search level 9, although all sites can be found with level 4 when searching without rituals). Rituals are also faster, since you spend 2 turns doing it on foot - one to get in the province and another to search, while you can cast the ritual every turn with sufficient gem income. I think that holy/unholy sites might not be that rare, just that often you don't have good searchers for them, i.e. not something that you would normally use your priests to do, and not many nations that have unholy priests. With Acashic record quite a few of them show up (at least on Orania map so far).

In addition to regular blood sites, Mictlan's home province has a site that gives you 3 blood slaves.
