Thanks For The Carnival

As usual I am posting my fake carnival of carnivals which have used my posts in their editions. You have guessed right, it's just about rewarding them with a backlink.

In previous posts about blog carnivals I have mentioned that I feel the quality of carnivals seems to degrade over time. More and more blog carnivals have become almost automatically created collections of links without much editorial effort. And I had to throw out a number of carnivals for todays post, because they simply did not meet their schedule.

Here is the list of reliable carnivals, that used my mind mapping post this month.

Thanks to the editors.

I more and more doubt that my “Tit For Tat Carnivals” add much value to my readers, since I don't invest the time to go through the carnival editions and handpick a few articles. Sorry for that.

Tell me what you think.
Leave a comment.

I initially wanted to break through the typical “I don't want to deal with you, just publish my post I have submitted!” mindset of most bloggers. But quite honestly I might stop to write those type of posts. This might be the last one of its kind.

Yours
John W. Furst

Update: Another one that came in a bit later.

Thanks to this editor, too.

I've submitted a few posts to carnivals but I just feel like there is no excitement surrounding them, the occasional backlink is nice but what I really want is discussion and networking and I've yet to get that from blog carnivals. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the next big thing other then carnivals.

Hi Carl,

The remaining primary benefit from submitting to blog carnivals seems to be getting backlinks.

If you want networking and discussion, I suggest you get involved with the top, high-traffic blogs in your niche. Leave comments there and also write related quality posts on your blog with links to them.

Also social bookmark quality content of interest to your targeted readers and build your social networking profile there. Devote some time for all these activities on a regular schedule.

The next big thing? Going multimedia and add more dimensions to what you have to say. It's already rockin' and rollin'.

Yours
John
