Can you whitelist my domain so I don't get rejected as spam every time I try to  submit to any carnival? It thinks I'm a porn site.

You are not restricted on bloggercarnivals.com…

I'm not sure what it was like before, but you just reminded me to submitted a post for the first time and it was quick and easy!  Thanks!

No problem!

Carnivals are one of those hidden benefits that everybody should take advantage of!

I think a lot of bloggers and especially new bloggers see the name "Carnival" as are instantly turned off (I was at first), but after learning about what increases search engine rankings (aka google), it's obvious that carnivals do have great benefits!

For a quick rundown and brief explanation of the benefits of participating in a carnival (both submitting and hosting), check  out my article here called The Benefits of Blogger Carnivals.

I've scribbled myself into a hosting slot for September and look forward to experiencing the new interface. (The last financial carnival I hosted, on another site, was around 2007 and, man, was it a lot of work!)

I think you'll like the way the bloggercarnivals.com system works since everything is sent to you in one chunk of code...  So instead of cutting and pasting articles into your post, it just one copy and paste for everybody's submissions once instead of over and over again.  This way, as a host you can focus on the theme of the carnivals other than getting the individual links (which is to time consuming in my opinion).

Thanks for signing up to host a session!

Thanks for the reminder.  BloggerCarnivals is the main source I use now because it is easy to both submit and look up the most recent carnival that has been hosted.  It was easy as a host too.

The other one I use is blogcarnivalhq.com

Bloggercarnivals.com is a pet project of mine, but it took a lot of personal time to write.  It's an extendible engine and I'm planning on evolving it with time.  I know that it has basically automated the Yakezie Carnival process other than the weekly posts I do to announce the next host in this forum.  And I'm hoping to make it better still!

Blogcarnivalhq.com is a good system too.

The other one I use is blogcarnivalhq.com

I'm working on creating a new interface for carnivals owners!  Sometime in the fall, present carnival owners will have a login and password to manage the properties of their carnivals.  I think if you are patient, you'll find features that will make it even easier to own a carnivals. 

Of course, those that have hosted a carnival through BloggerCarnivals.com can attest to how easy it is now, vs the past to host carnivals!

And obviously, the interface makes it super easy for submitters too.  Sometimes simplicity is the best route to get what you want accomplished…

If you have any questions about the benefits please feel free to post here.

P.S.  I'm also taking new financial carnivals, I think you'll find that hosting the submissions on bloggercarnivals.com makes it incredibly easy!

Bests,

Don
