Technorati tags: blog it and earn it, blog carnival.

It’s now been nearly a week since I hosted my first Blog Carnival so I thought I would investigate how much extra traffic taking part in blog carnivals brings  to a site.

In total BlogCarnival.com has sent me 31 visitors since 18/09/09 which is when I started advertising my Carnival (13 days ago).

The highest daily numbers of visits was the day after the Carnival was published with 9 visits.

In addition I’ve submitted articles to a number of Carnivals and the domains of the hosts and the number of hits from those Domains are shown below:

• http://www.successpart2.com/ 0 hits
• http://blogging4good.blogspot.com/ 0 hits
• http://thatsblog.com 7 hits

So over all I’ve had 38 visitors from my Blog Carnival work, and as well as picking up a number of extra links hosting the carnival provides a regular source of content.

38 may not sound like a lot but I’ll keep working with Blog Carnivals to see how it goes, particularly with the Carnivals that send me traffic.

In this post I mentioned how I plan to utilize Blog Carnivals  to bring traffic to my blogs.

I’ve found a new Carnival called wordpress for beginners which aims to help new bloggers with the basics of WordPress.

I’ve entered 2 blog posts to this carnival:

http://jpmblog.com/2009/09/how-to-integrate-google-webmaster-tools-into-your-wordpress-blog/

&

http://jpmblog.com/2009/08/how-to-get-google-to-send-you-traffic/

The Carnival is published on the 28th of September. I’ll report back here how it goes.

Blog Carnivals provide a usefulway for bloggers to share their blog posts and articles on other blogs and sites.

Bloggers submit the URL of the desired article, along with a brief comment about the post to a related carnival host site, the end result is a blog post that contains links to several posts including yours.

Why are Blog Carnivals good:

• Bloggers can share knowledge, thoughts, good practice and stories about almost any topic and genre with like minded people.
• Bloggers have a resource where they can find information which interests them 
• Your site gets an extra link for each post that is accepted onto a carnival.
• Carnivals can drive new traffic and readers to your site.

I’ve posted an article on the following sites to see how much traffic it brings to my blog:

I’ve also prepared to re-launch a blog carnival that I used to run a couple of years ago, and host it on this site.

The first eddition will be published next Friday, and I’ll post my findings here.
