A blog carnival is a blogging community which collects the information about a particular blog topic. You can post your articles to a particular carnival and then it will be posted to the host blog with your link. This is a good way to optimize your blog as many people with similar interests will check your blog and you will get more visitors for your blog. I found the site blogcarnival.com quite good for adding your articles. You can add your articles by entering the category, permalink, name and your email address. A confirmation message is sent to the email address which lets you know about the host to which your article will be posted.
You can also create a blog carnival and then other bloggers can post articles to your carnival. If you want to organize a new carnival then, follow the below steps:
- Login into the blogcarnival.com account and click on Organize new carnival.
- Enter all the required information i.e. the URL, title of your blog, deadline, etc.
- Add the editions to your recently created carnival. You can post a new edition date. This date will be useful for the bloggers who will be adding their blogs under the category you have mentioned as they will come to know when their post will be added to your blog.
