Blog Carnivals are a quick and simple way to get targeted traffic to your blog. If you don't know what a blog carnival is, don't worry because I didn't know about them either. Basically what happens is blog owners submit posts for consideration to the blog owner hosting the carnival that particular week. There will be a deadline for submissions a day or two before the Blog Carnival is scheduled.

After the deadline passes, the blog carnival host will read all the submission and choose the best posts. Then he or she will make a post on his or her blog with links to those posts. Each blog carnival host is different some may select the top ten and provide a reason for their selections. Others will just post links to the top articles in his or her opinion.

Blog carnivals generate a bunch of free traffic and now everyone who visits the blog carnival will have the opportunity to click on a link to your blog. Blog carnivals are also focused on specific topics so regardless of the topic of your blog, there's likely one or more blog carnivals for you to consider. You can even volunteer to host a blog carnival yourself. I've done it and it doesn't take much time. It's as simple as I laid it out in the previous paragraph.

A good idea for finding blog carnivals is to simply perform a search on the term "blog carnival" in Google or Yahoo. There's is also a popular site called blogcarnival.com which lists hundreds of blog carnivals on many topics. You'll probably find one suited to your blog. Submitting the post for consideration only takes a minute or two. All you do is paste the permalink to a recent post in your blog into a form and add your name and email address. It's as simple as that.

If you want to take it a step further, you can do a more specific search. For example search for "success blog carnivals" if you blog is about success. You might find a few new blogs to add to your reading list in addition to finding a blog carnival that will drive traffic to your blog. There's no time like the present to get started. It only takes a moment to find a blog carnival and submit a post for the upcoming carnival. You may be surprised at how easy it is...and by how much traffic you get.
