One the best kept secrets that I don’t see too many bloggers using is a Blog Carnival. You’re probably asking, what the heck is a Blog Carnival. Well, it doesn’t involve games or bearded ladies; a Blog Carnival is an event that someone hosts on their blog. It explores a specific topic or niche and is published on a regular basis. These publishings can occur weekly, monthly or anytime the editor decides to host one. Any one can host a Carnival and anyone can submit a post to a Carnival.
A Blog Carnival has huge advantages for bloggers.
- It allows you to submit your related posts & have them seen by a wide audience. Who doesn’t want exposure!
- They are an excellent source for one way links.
- Most blogs that host Carnivals have decent rankings so this brings up your ranking.
There are many topics that you can cover when submitting your posts. They range from:
- Blogging for cash
- Monetizing
- Traffic building
- Success
- Improvement
- Crime blogs
- Fast cash
- Make money blogging
- Singers blogs
- Chinese blogs
- C++ blogging
Now that you know about this secret go take advantage of all the links you can get, exposure to your site and host one or two Carnivals yourselves.
