Blogcarnival help needed, dumb newbie question

You do not submit your actual articles to blog carnivals for publication, you submit links to your best posts. Blog carnivals are basically round-up posts listing other posts on the carnival topic. Here's a little more about how it works:

A host establishes a blog carnival on a topic, such as Internet marketing, parenting, Buddhism or whatever.

Bloggers who have written posts about those topics submit the URL to the host for possible inclusion in the carnival.

The host creates a post with links to some or all of the posts submitted.

I have been publishing the Book Marketing Blog Carnival twice monthly since October, 2008. You can see a recent issue here: http://www.sellingbooks.com/book-mar...ptember-8-2010

To start your own blog carnival, or find carnivals to link to your posts, go to Blog Carnival - Blog Communities Publishing Magazines

Don't spam blog carnivals with garbage posts or posts that have nothing to do with their topic. Blog carnival hosts are not idiots. I get submissions for posts about Forex and other stuff that has NOTHING to do with book publishing or marketing. Those get trashed. Buh-bye, Mr. Spammer.

Carnivals can be a good way to get some links to your blog and maybe some traffic. Depends on the carnival. It's worth a little time now and then to submit your best stuff.

UAW was a hit a while ago! Then there was the whole ezines, goarticles and all the other crap! it works!, AT A SNAILS PACE! you think the big companies are waiting for articles to be approved? NO!

Actually I could care less about content, YES! I said it! I rank high and take out big players! and I pay no attention to content, One niche site I have I built last October for Christmas. I made a stupid little article and put it on the site. made a few links and I have not visited that site for almost a year,but that site is on the front page of google. And makes money while not even in season. If you want to rank without all these distractions PM me!
