Scott: There’s no great commitment involved, so why not give it a try and see for yourself? Personally I haven’t seen any dramatic results, but it’s just one part of my overall link building strategy. It’s a really easy way to get one-way backlinks!

Very interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s something I’d want to jump into. Has anyone had any success so far using blog carnivals?

More wrinkles keep showing up in the link zoo. Personally, I really think backlinks are a farce. You’d think a company like Google could figure out a better way to rank a company.

Erin: you should give carnivals a try. This is different from guest blogging in that your articles remain on your own site, but links to them are included in the carnival posts on other blogs.

I’m actually familiar with this type of process, but I’ve never heard it termed ‘blog carnival’ rather guest blogging or other similar variations. I guess I have a new term that I could search for to come across these types of blogs. I personally have guess blogged on only several occasions, I typically stick with article marketing or other variations which have produced some fabulous results thus far.

Michiel: I guess it depends how you want to go about it. Lots of sites publish posts which are essentially roundups of links to useful posts on other sites.
Or if you want to host a full-on carnival, you can sign up at the Blog Carnival site.
Good luck!

Great post. I was thinking:“sounds complicated – I’ll come back to that later”. Then I accidentally bumped into this post and though I had to come back to this subject now!

What i was wondering is: How can you organize your own blog carnival? Let’s say, I want to post such a carnival post on one of my blogs and give the links to other sites. (I also understand that a good blog carnival itself is attracting traffic) How would I start?
