A blog carnival is an event of sorts organized by a webmaster or group of webmasters. The creator will provide their desired topic or subject matter, as well as any other requirements they may have. Other webmasters and bloggers then submit a relevant link from their own site, collectively becoming a list of resources that the moderators of the carnival will then post onto their domain.

Blog Carnival: Probably the most popular website to host such a service, and using the domain is simple enough. Browse through the carnivals by category or by search, looking for carnivals that fall under the desired category and will be posting again soon (use the new edition column in the carnival search to check for upcoming posts).

There are also many websites that allow you to simply submit a link to be listed on their domain. People who are looking for an easy way to browse and find new websites on topics they enjoy regularly visit domains such as Stumbleupon and Digg to find their information.

Digg Creating an account with Digg is extremely simple - you can even choose to sign in with your Facebook account for instant access. Simply click the submit link button located at the top of the page and paste your link, choosing a category and providing a brief summary or description of the content. Although the amount of viewers Digg receives is quite large, it is difficult to generate a large amount of traffic through Digg without a 'hot' or recently established topic. Still, this will build a solid link for your page and bring at least a few additional visitors directly. StumbleUpon Another extremely popular browsing tool, StumbleUpon allows it's users to "stumble" their way through articles submitted by others. After creating an account, go to the favorites section and click the add site button in the top right area of the screen. You will first be asked to submit the URL and a review of the page. After continuing to the next section, you will be given the opportunity to add a topic or multiple topics - you can select from the list or suggestions, or simply input your own keywords separated by commas. Reddit Yet another link submission domain, Reddit uses a sub-reddit system instead of the topic method applied by the previous two domains. Here is an excellent explanation of how to use Reddit and sub-reddits.

Regularly submitting all of your new articles or pages to the previously mentioned domains is an easy way to get a solid link base started, but your efforts don't have to stop there.
