And also another installment of "how to be a successful blogger in 10 or so easy lessons". Today's installment: Carnivals! Many moons ago I always submitted an entry to the Carnival of the Vanities - a traveling link-fest used to promote a blogger's personal favorite post of the week. "Traveling" because a different blog would host it every week. The final link at the bottom of each week's canival tells you where next week's will be. So you go to that blog and find the post that gives you guidlines for submissions, follow those instructions, and presto! Glenn Reynolds and lots of other bloggers link the carnival, so a good bit of traffic can flow your way from that source.
Now back to the future: there are lots of carnivals now, for medical blogs, for recipes, for you name it. My advice to you is to visit the Carnival of the Carnivals - it lists them all. See which ones are on topics you write about, find out where the next one will be, and get your post submitted.
Then watch the numbers rack up on those new sitemeters.
(And for those who've requested it - yes, I'm going to compile these daily tips into one weekly post, probably Friday.)
