Drive Blog Traffic with the Bloggy Giveaways Blog Carnival of Blog Contests

Wednesday July 16, 2008

I know it's a mouthful, but the Bloggy Giveaways Blog Carnival of Blog Contests is a great way to get a burst of traffic to your blog. The Bloggy Giveaways are a blog carnival that is held quarterly. It's a carnival of blog contest posts. To participate, you just have to hold a contest on your blog, then list the prize and link to your contest post on the main Bloggy Giveaways carnival post.

Throughout the carnival, many, many people will visit the main Bloggy Giveaways carnival post looking for contests to enter. You're likely to get a lot of traffic from your blog if you participate! In fact, the better your prize, the more traffic you'll probably get. You can follow the link to get all the details about the Bloggy Giveaways, including instructions to join in. The next Bloggy Giveaways run from July 28 - August 1, 2008!

Keep in mind, many of the people who will visit your blog through your participation in the Bloggy Giveaways are coming solely to enter your contest, but some of them just might take a closer look at your blog and come back again. Some of those people might even become loyal readers, so make sure your posts surrounding and during the Bloggy Giveaways shine! Check out these 5 tips to write great blog posts for help.

I agree, I look forward to this every quarter, and I spend hours/days just trying to join as many as I can.

I will be giving something away so look for my blog. (This was how I found many of the blogs I loyally read everyday, it’s a wonderful way to find like-minded people)
