I'm sure, by now, most of you have heard of Blog Carnivals. Some of you may have even discovered The Marketer Review through a Carnival. Well, I'm happy to announce I'm starting a carnival of my own: The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival!

What's a Blog Carnival?

I'm very well aware that some of you are just starting out your blogging experience, and may not know what a Blog Carnival is. I think it's important you get to know it, as it's a great internet marketing tool.

A Blog Carnival is simply a blog post, that issues a list of links to different articles, from different blogs, all surrounding the same theme. The post could be as elaborate as this, or as simple as this. A typical carnival looks like this, divided into sub categories and quotes the article submitter, stating the blogger's name, the blog's title and the specific article's title.

Why is a Blog Carnival Such a "Great Internet Marketing Tool"?

For a blogger, there are a couple of advantages to submitting an article to a Blog Carnival: You get a free link to your blog. If you submit every week, to a few Carnivals, the links start accumulating substantially. Not only do you get a nice addition to your traffic, but you also have something to show for, when the Google Page Rank and Technorati Authority spiders come crawling. And because Blog Carnivals are themed, you're getting highly targeted traffic, who are specifically interested in your niche.

For a carnival host, such as myself, the main advantage is creating more original content and being able to provide useful material to my readers.

The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival

I'm very excited to announce my first attempt at organizing a carnival, The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival. I have ambitions to make this a weekly carnival, presenting a myriad of reviews, tips, tricks and advise, from my fellow bloggers, each Sunday.

If you want to submit an article to The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival these are the guidelines:

• The articles must be in the niche of internet marketing and professional blogging. You've read this blog, you know what it's all about
• Articles should fit the following categories:
  • Product Review
  • Blog Review
  • Book Review
  • Advise

• No duplicate content - if I've published your article before, please don't resubmit the same article!
• No Spam - May god protect you from my wrath, if you ever dare submit a hypey sales page, instead of a well thought out article. The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival is here to promote your blog, not your affiliate links.

That should cover it. If you're interested in submitting your articles to The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival, just click here and fill out the short application form.

Hope to see you there, at the first edition of The Marketer Review Sunday Carnival, on the 4th of May!
