Blog Carnivals and Group Writing Projects for Link Building and Networking
A blog is an awesome networking tool. Beside multiple obvious benefits (interacting with your audience, content link building, etc), there are a few more creative ways to build links with your blog.
Blog carnivals
A blog carnival is a regular topical event connecting multiple blogging based on a chosen theme. A blog carnival often includes a number of participants (most of them get credits i form of links and new niche connections):
- the blog carnival organizer: if you are an established voice in your niche, you can organize your own blog carnival and get plenty of awareness;
- blog host - the one who publishes the link collection (posts chosen to take part in the carnival) on his own blog and also generates multiple links from the thankful participants;
- bloggers: those who write posts on the carnival topic and submit them for inclusion (and get links at least from the blog host site).
