What is the definition of blog carnivals? They are blogs that hosts posts by different bloggers on the same topic. You can go to Blog Carnival Directory or Blog Carnival and peruse the carnivals listed there. People start blog carnivals at a blog carnival site on their blogs topic. When you look through the lists of carnivals you can submit a post from your blog to that carnival. Use your permalink for that post. If the blog owner likes the post and your blog, your post will be accepted to be published when that blogger publishes another carnival.

You can also start your own blog carnival. You will be the organizer. You can host the carnival and let other bloggers host an edition on their blogs. Other bloggers can submit articles in the vein of the carnival. This allows bloggers on a particular topic to get together and help each other get traffic to their blogs.

People who are interested in different subjects cruise through blog carnivals to find interesting reading material, so the audience is larger than just other bloggers. To find out more about a carnival you may want to join, you can read some of the archived editions of the blog carnival. The organizer of the carnival may have a home page describing the carnival in more detail.

You can get a widget at the site "Blog Carnival" for your blog carnival updates, if you frequently make updates to your carnival schedule on a particular post.

Hosting blog carnivals on your blog niche is a good way to become known as an authority on your topic.
