Mistakes to Avoid in Blog Carnivals when you Want More Blog Traffic

linksBlog carnivals are gaining a lot of popularity right now as they are one of the best and most influential ways to earn more blog traffic. Unfortunately, too many people are jumping into this arena without knowing what they are doing. As a result, they are finding themselves overwhelmed, left out, or without the traffic numbers that they expected. Blog carnivals are an excellent way to garner more blog traffic, however, especially by building extremely valuable back links for your blog website.

Here are some of the mistakes that you need to mistake when participating in blog carnivals, if garnering more blog traffic is your intention.

#1 – People are submitting to irrelevant blog carnivals, which will not bring them any more blog traffic. People are mass submitting their blog posts to every carnival that they can find, regardless of the category. Unfortunately, they are developing a bad reputation in the process, and they will never see any more blog traffic as a result. It is vital that you make sure that your posts are actually related to the subject of the blog carnival rather than just on some random and unrelated topic.

#2 – People are not reading the rules associated with each blog carnival. This is actually related to the last mistake mentioned above. Every blog carnival is going to have rules posted for each individual issue, and you need to read them to make sure that you are posting the right things at the right time. Unfortunately, too many people submit their posts hoping for more blog traffic without reading the rules, and this unfortunately results in them not being approved for the carnival.

#3 – People also are not posting consistently enough to gain more blog traffic. Many people submit once, or only a few times, and they only garner a single backlink or two without ever gaining the traffic that they are looking for. People who want to get more blog traffic out of blog carnivals absolutely must be willing to make this a weekly process rather than simply an occasional one. The real power behind the process of blog carnivals is that you should be consistently submitting your best posts over a period of time. This may mean making thoughtful or meaningful blog posts intentionally to participate in blog carnivals on a regular basis. The more regular you are about contributing to blog carnivals, the more blog traffic you will end up with.

Learning how to avoid these three common mistakes relating to gaining more blog traffic from blog carnivals is absolutely vital. This is the best way to contribute to the blog carnival community without stepping on any toes or overstaying your welcome. Blog carnivals are all about being a part of a community, so take advantage of what this unique blogging opportunity has to offer, and you will find yourself with more blog traffic as a result.

Should Casual Bloggers Use WordPress or Google Blogger?

bestplatOne of the most popular hobbies and past times on the internet today has to do with setting up and maintaining your own blog. Blogging is all about creating an online journal or diary that people can read and comment on, so there is a huge community aspect to it. Blogging is all about writing down your thoughts, opinions and ideas, telling stories, posting pictures, creating videos and so much more. One of the biggest questions that comes up when it comes to blogging is which platform for blogging is better for a casual blog writer, WordPress or the Google Blogger platform?

Some people really only set up blogs to create some basic entertainment. These are people who simply enjoy writing. They sit down and begin to type, and they don’t worry about money or visitor counts or anything else like that. Blogging is a great way to meet people, communicate with people all over the world, get your thoughts out, and let out your frustrations or elations at what is happening in your life.

There are also people, however, that are concerned with earning an income, gaining traffic numbers and other serious matters, and for these people, understanding which platform is the best to use is much more important, especially when the two choices at hand are Google Blogger and WordPress. One platform, after all, may be capable of garnering more traffic than the other, and more traffic translates into increased profits for these serious Google Bloggers.

So what is the difference between WordPress and Google Blogger, and why and to whom does it matter?

Google Blogger - Google Blogger is a free, simple and quick platform to work with, but Google Blogger does not give much control, so serious Google Bloggers cannot have all of their needs met with this type of blogging platform. Also, because Google Blogger.com has control of your blog, it can be shut down or taken from you for pretty much any reason at all, meaning that you are leaving your work in someone else’s hands, and that’s not really the best option for anyone that is serious about their content.

WordPress - WordPress is ideal if you are looking for a situation that is more permanent in terms of blogging. WordPress does have a free service, but if you want a permanent or long term blog, you should host your WordPress blog on your very own server – This is something that Google Blogger has not made possible! Hosting for your own site can be found for $10 or less on many websites, and with some simple installation, you can have your own WordPress blog, completely under your own control without anyone being able to tell you what you can or cannot say online.

If you want easy, choose Google Blogger. If you want slightly more complicated but with a lot more control as a result, then WordPress is the only way for you to go.
