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?

Embarassed ) but I'm pretty sure it was ASPIRING BLOGGER carnival.  Does anyone know how to get in touch with that carnival owner?  There doesn't seem to be any other carnivals posted since #41 and that was in mid May.

make sure you read the instructions as some will say you must post a unique article...and they will generally tell you within the last week or so the article must be from...and most do not allow you to submit more than one...and if you do they will likely remove both...just an fyi

thanks so much!

I stopped submitting to the carnivals (I was previously paying a service to submit 10-20 links a week) and I noticed almost no change, either positive or negative in my google traffic.

 

It would be interesting to see what happens to people with higher levels of traffic who start/stop carnival submissions.
