Default Call for Blog Carnival Posts - 5/18/08 Edition
Anyone who wants to participate in this week's Blog Carnival needs to submit their post by Saturday afternoon. You can use this link to submit: http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_4185.html

The new Carnival (issue 2) will go up on Sunday. So far I have received 5 submissions. Just so you know, it will not be hosted on the vagabondetteva.wordpress.com site. My blog has migrated to my business address so it will be hosted there.

The last carnival had a great result! The Carnival post receive almost 80 direct hits and my blog received over 250 hits in the 48 hours after the post (when it was still on the front page). And there were over 50 clicks out to the various articles. That's not too shabby for a first effort.

If you want to participate and ensure a good result it's *really* helpful if you post a link to the carnival on your blog ASAP after it's up. The whole point of a carnival is to share traffic with the other participants, so please make sure you're giving as well as receiving.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi ReAnn,

A blog carnival is a collection of blog posts on specific topic (in this case, VA, Home/small business issues) by bloggers from all over the world. Bloggers submit their articles (through the link above) and once a week (Sunday) I put them all into a single post on my blog.

It's helpful for several reasons:

1 - it puts lots of good info in one spot
2 - it drives traffic to your blog
3 - it gets you in front of new viewers
4 - it helps you find new and useful blogs
5 - it helps with SEO and page rank as well as your technorati authority and other things.
