I very first came across blog carnivals back in 2007 doing an 'internship' with controversial web company builder, James Brausch.
At that stage it was 1 of the initial tasks in his business technique. James' business was amazingly run on difficult-nosed metrics, and if a job didn't measure up it was promptly scrapped. So I knew this was a worthwhile process.
What Is A Weblog Carnival?
A weblog carnival is exactly where 1 weblog owner asks other bloggers to submit their posts on a particular topic. Distinctive blogs have slightly distinctive rules, but usually the very best of the posts are then compiled into a list and published on the blog as a 'carnival'.
It really is like a 'best-of' list of the current weblog posts on a given subject.
For weblog owners it really is a fantastic way to link up with other bloggers. For readers it's a great way to get out about pertinent posts elsewhere on the net. It is a win-win, and is still going robust all these years later.
If you submit your post to a blog carnival and your post is accepted you can anticipate not just a top quality backlink from an active weblog (genuinely valuable).
You can also anticipate some high top quality visitors from the carnival. Occasionally guests will be other weblog owners, usually they will be readers who have an interest in the subject. Both of these are great guests to have.
The greatest thing about getting in a blog carnival is, in contrast to nearly just about every other site visitors or Search engine marketing method, exceptional content material is rewarded.
Well-written, one of a kind posts with a decent headline are extra most likely to be accepted into a carnival, and attract much more guests.
So make confident to only submit your very best stuff.
Submitting to a Weblog Carnival
Blogs can run their own carnivals, but to make it much easier for others to obtain their carnival most of them end up listing at BlogCarnival dot com.
You can submit your blog posts on the web-site. It has all the instructions.
Just choose a pertinent carnival, put in your post's specifics, your name and e mail address (might be worth working with a secondary e mail address), any categories for the carnival, remarks, and then the Captcha for your submission.
It's regularly worth adding some remarks to make people today curious to read your post, and give a bit extra content material to make your listing stand out in the carnival.
Back in 2007 when I did this process it was particularly monotonous and time-consuming, and considering that they have added Captcha for each individual submission, it takes even longer.
So is it worth it?
Weblog Carnivals - Results.
On my little business blog I published a review of Robert Kiyosaki's 2009 book Conspiracy of the Wealthy.
It was a pretty quick post but I decided it was topical enough to submit to blog carnivals - and that was the only Seo work I did at all.
Then again ever given that then Google has ranked my Conspiracy of the Wealthy Assessment at #1, and it is still there these days!
That is the immense power you can get through a weblog carnival.
