Join A Blog Carnival Get More Traffic

If you own a blog, chances are you would like grow your traffic. A blog carnival will help get more traffic and it’s a fun way to increase your profile, get in depth info on the subject of the carnival and meet some very interesting people.

A blog carnival is like a magazine, published to a regular schedule and dedicated to a single topic. Each edition of the carnival is a blog post which contains links to submitted blog articles which are on topic.

When someone wants to organize a carnival they post details of the topic on their blog and invite submissions. Contributors write their articles and submit them to the host.

The host collects submissions, then posts links to them, along with notes if desired. The collection of links is usually spread across a number of posts.

In this way the host ends up with a tightly focussed resource, summarising a current topic and the contributors get links (and hopefully) traffic back to their blog.

To see a real example of how this works, check out the Problogger Top 5 Group Writing Project and here are the resulting submissions.
