If you are someone, like me, who enjoys the sharing of information with others through blogging, then I highly recommend joining a Blog Carnival. My best friend (and co-contributor to this blog), heard about Blog Carnivals and told me to look into them. What I found was not only an awesome community of fellow bloggers, but also a means of increasing the traffic to my site. And anyone who desires to write and make money from blogging knows that traffic is "muy importante" (VERY IMPORTANT!)
A blog carnival starts with a host. For example, today my friend and I are hosting a blog carnival called "Recession Obsession". We listed our blog at blogcarnival.com/bc and gave a description of what our next edition would be about. Of course that's easy for us, because the entire purpose of all of our blogs is to share money-making/money-saving tips. We gave a submission deadline and then the e-mail submissions started rolling in! People sent us links to their individual blog enteries (not their entire blog) that they felt were relevant to our topic. Some were dead-on, others not-so-much. But we appreciated all the interest in joining our first carnival.
Finally, once it was time to publish our next edition (which is what you are currently reading), Blog Carnival provided us with the HTML code needed to add the chosen submissions to the bottom of our blog - community doesn't get much easier than that!
Even if you're not interested in hosting a carnival, you can always just join someone else's. Choose a blog entry of your own and search for upcoming carnivals that you feel are relevant to your topic. Read the submission guidelines and then submit your article. Then check out the host's page on the date of their next edition, and you might find a link to your blog. I did this once with my other blog, Temporarily Disabled, and was so excited to see someone include it on their carnival! It really is a lot of fun. Plus, I got to read a bunch of other people's blogs that were related to my topic, which was also really cool.
Bottom Line - increase traffic to your site while supporting fellow bloggers. There's something for everyone at the carnival!
