BlogCarnival.com offers a way for users to host blog carnivals. They are blog posts with a collection of links to other blog posts on a given topic. Other users can then submit their blog posts into related carnivals, and get free links and traffic from them.
I use blog carnivals regularly. Almost every Saturday I go through the list of active carnivals and submit a post to each that matches one of my recent posts. I was last featured on The Carnival of Bloggers Helping Bloggers on Topic Factory, and though the traffic is not huge, many blog carnivals give me a few hits (and there quite a few I’ve submitted to).
The BlogCarnival.com navigation is not very good, but basically you should sign up for an account, then log in. Then you browse carnivals for those that match your posts. When you find a carnival you like, you click on the name and select ’submit an article’. There you just paste in the permalink URL of the post in question, and the script usually gets most of the other details right.
The contents of the ‘Remarks’-field are shown on the listing of some blog carnivals. You should mostly submit to the ones with a ‘next issue’ date shown, as they are the most likely to get published. Some of the carnivals in the list had the previous issue published almost a year ago, and will never see another issue.
I’m thinking about hosting my own blog carnival on making money with a website. Leave a comment here, if you would interested in submitting entries, or acting as a host on some editions. I’d like to make it a regular carnival, but need to know it’ll get entries. Meanwhile, get some free links and traffic to your blog entries with the ongoing blog carnivals.
