I’ve just started experimenting with blog carnivals on my European travel blog. Participating in Blog Carnivals is recommend by Problogger as giving you links to sites in your field, increasing traffic and being easy to do. Although I’ve vaguely heard of blog carnivals, my intention was converted to action by Darren and his Travel Blog Carnival. I’m one of the founding group of bloggers who will host the travel relate posts on their own travel blog starting in January 2008.

I then decided to do the carnival rounds and submitted a post on UK budget travel tips to the Travel on a Shoestring Carnival which features Europe on the first Saturday of the month. I’ve also submitted a post about my birthplace of Dundee in Scotland to the Carnival of Cities.

I’ll be hosting the Carnival of Cities on 7 January with the theme of “Off the beaten track: Cities in Europe” if you like to email a post for inclusion. If you’d like to host the Carnival of Cities you can make contact here.

If you’d like to start a new Blog Carnival on a topic related to your blog, you can start the set up on the Blog Carnival site.

I’ll report back on how successful my foray in carnivals has been in terms of promoting my blog by getting more links and more readers and in making mutually beneficial contacts with other travel bloggers.

Have you taken part in Blog Carnivals? Have you found this to be time well spent?
