Blog Carnivals is a kind of blog event. It is similar to compiling a magazine, focusing on a niche subject, 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 niche topic.
Blog Carnival posts are generally written by the author by soliciting relevant contributions from interested people. The author collects links to these submissions, edits and annotates them and publishes the resulting round-up to his or her blog. Many carnivals have a home page or principal organizer, who lines up guest bloggers to host each edition. This means that the carnival travels, appearing on a different blog each time.
Communities of blog readers, writers, and edition hosts form around specific carnivals. 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 backlink and, perhaps, a positive review).
Blog carnivals are being launched all the time from different blog owners for different topics. Some websites such as BlogCarnival.com often host a list of blog carnivals that were and currently active. You may browse through the big list and find suitable carnivals, with related topics to your blog and submit your related blog post to these carnivals.
It is totally free for you to submit your articles with links to blog carnivals. Submitting content or articles to blog carnivals are somewhat different than submitting articles to article directory.
