I was rejected from my very first carnival in 2009, so I never participated, but I started this forum to help others.

Given carnivals are dying, and the spammers are going nuts, I'm going to shut this section down so we can stay in Blogger's Lair.

I think it goes back to what MMM spoke about at FinCon about giving--those carnivals do nothing for our readers.

I have also had about a dozen requests for link removals and will probably take down all of the carnivals that I have hosted.

Difficult to quantify but seems things have improved after taking that action..

If they are not good for SEO, I certainly don't see much benefit for readers of the host site. "Oooo, a list of 100 links to other sites - whoopie"...

Kind of like webrings and other such archaic terms of the internet. I think some evolved form of blog carnivals will arise, what that exactly is anyones guess?

But even with that.. I was a bit surprised to see how completely dead the Blog Carnival sites have all become in the last few months.  

 

Is it just me?.. Or has the final nail already been driven in the Blog Carnival coffin?
