Blog Carnivals are one of the latter methods, that is, short term, but usually provide lots of traffic. If your blog is good, some of this traffic may become regular readers, thus increasing your blog traffic over the long term.

So what exactly do I mean by a "blog carnival"? Tpically a blogger will host a blog of links to various other blogs, usually with the same theme or topic. For example there are make money at home carnivals, or humor carnivals, travel blog carnivals, business blog carnivals, dog owner carnivals and more, almost anything you can think of. Because of the incoming and outgoing links, search engines like carnivals, and so do many blog readers who get an opportunity to find a collection of blogs, usually focused on a subject they are interested in.

One of the best places to submit your blog post to a carnival is Here! This is a great collection of blog carnivals where you can browse the lists and find the carnivals that apply to the type of blog or blog post that you want to submit. There is simple submission form, fill it in, and submit your blog. Be careful though to make sure the carnival is still in operation because many of them come and go, and don't always get taken off the list. You should also look for the submission deadline date to make sure you are in time.

After you submit, check the carnival on the post date and you'll see a link and sometimes a comment from the carnival host pointing readers to your blog.
