What keeps a Blog Carnival running?
Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Starting a Blog Carnival is easy. As proof, I did. But I wondered what keeps them going? The short answer is the passion of the person who starts it. Blog Carnivals are heralded as a way to gain traffic for the host and the submitters. I queried the carnivals in the business category and found 63 of them had at least 1 issue in 2008 to see any patterns of success. Using that as a base:
- 40% of them have been discontinued.
- Those with 5 issues or less - 45% have been discontinued.
- Those with 20 or more - 33% have been discontinued.
The #1 carnival in terms of entries was the Carnival of the Capitalists ended as a “Blog Carnival” although there is some intention of keeping it going in some fashion.
