I’m Getting Nice Backlinks From Blog Carnivals
A blog carnival is a simple concept - here’s the description from the Blog Carnival web site:
“…where someone takes the time to find really good blog posts on a given topic, and then puts all those posts together in a blog post called a “carnival”.”
So why would you want to do this? Yes, it’s just another ‘thing’ you have to do with your blog posts (submit to bookmarking sites, Digg, etc…) - but the payoff is that this technique really works. You get great relevant backlinks from sites similar to yours- AND relevant, convert-able traffic to boot. Just hop over to Blog Carnival and set up an account - add the carnivals that apply to your web site to the ‘Favorites’ section and submit away.
Be kind to carnival owners, however. Don’t submit every post, particularly if you post daily with short posts like ‘Check This Out….[link]…’. Submit posts that would be truly useful. Also, don’t submit your Internet marketing tips to the Spirituality Carnival- keep on topic. If you can’t be insightful in your posts, at least be helpful. That is kind of my motto on this blog, I don’t try to pontificate on strategy or trends, I just try to post helpful information.
Submit to blog carnivals for a couple of weeks and watch your inbound links and traffic increase.

I haven’t joined any blog carnivals, but maybe I should - many have said they’ve had good results from them.
New one to me - I’m going to study. Thanks.
Hmmmn, sounds interesting. I heard about Blog carnival before but I still don’t get the concept. Thanks for the heads up. I will study it further.
Is there a resource or a directory to find any blog carnivals?
The list is on the Blog Carnival site itself…head over and check it out.
From the gate one year ago I found carnivals and they have been an excellent part of my trackback strategy. Use them and use them often and you will also build a nice network of blogger buddies.
Honestly, I’m a newbie in this domain, I mean blogging domain. And you know what? I’m looking for the method to bring many relevant links to my newly born blog. Fortunately, I get this technique here, in your blog. So, thank you very-very-very much. The only question is how if the blog is not one hundred percent relevant. Will that influence the backlinks that we get?
Faiz, Try to only submit to blog carnivals related to your topic…if none exist, consider hosting a blog carnival yourself on your topic…
