Few days ago, when I read a warrior forum, I saw an ad that claimed it can give you some SEO backlinks by submitting your blog post to a place called blog carnival. Therefore, today I want to spend some times to look what blog carnival is, does it really can generate backlink and third how does it can generate you traffic? Ok now, first what is blog carnival?
What is Blog Carnival?
According to Wikipedia, Blog carnival is:
A blog carnival is a type of blog event. It is similar to a magazine, in that it is dedicated to a particular topic, and is published on a regular schedule, often weekly or monthly. Each edition of a blog carnival is in the form of a blog article that contains permalinks to other blog articles on the particular topic. …. The carnivals provide an aggregation of recent posts by the community on a given topic, and the host provides a level of editing and annotation that helps readers find posts they are interested in. Writers who submit their articles to blog carnivals are rewarded with traffic (if the host decides to give them a link and, perhaps, a positive review).
I personally have participate in 1 to 2 blog carnivals by submitting to one of my blog posts to it. If the editors like my post, then they will publish to a blog and offers a link back to my site. From my past experience, it did generates you backlink and traffic, for example:
The benefits of this strategy are:
- your links have the ability to go viral (spread exponentially) since there are other participants in the blog carnivals as well.
- Your site have the ability of getting viral traffic as well.
