Inaugural Infobarrel Blog Carnival
Here is our first Infobarrel Blog Carnival. We have a paucity of posts and I'm not sure if that's because the forum over at IB is brand spankin' new or if people still aren't sure how this works. Either way, onward and upward!
Our first link asks What Should I Do With my Life?. If you are looking for a new career or trying to find your niche in the world, this article will help.
Our second entry is a Guide to Saving Money on Groceries. It seems everyone is trying to economize which is hard when food prices keep jumping higher and higher. This article gives some in-depth information and goes beyond coupons.
Submissions for our next carnival are due this Sunday via email to netwriterm AT gmail DOT com. I will continue to host the carnival here until we get more participants.
Have a great week!

How the Infobarrel Blog Carnival Works
Making money with web content relies on two major factors:
1. Proper use of keywords and SEO to ensure people find your content.
2.The page rank or authority search engines give your content.
SEO will only take content so far which is why people try to improve page rank and authority with back links. Many people write entirely new content and post it on article directories or other ad revenue sharing sites, but this takes time and requires extra work that is sometimes uncompensated. Besides, there are only so many places to write content for and only so many times you can re-work content for a topic.
The benefit of a blog carnival is that it's a quick, painless way to build back links and improve your content's rank in the search engine. Here's how you can participate.
1. You provide a link to the carnival host of Infobarrel content you wish to promote. This takes about 5 minutes (or less) to do. You can submit a new link every time or a different link for each blog carnival depending on how many back links you wish to create.
2. The host posts it on their website which creates a back link. A blog carnival post takes about 15 to 20 minutes to do.
The format we will use for carnival posts is either:
Name of Blog link has an article on Infobarrel link. (In the event a blog link is made available.)
or
Here's an interesting article on Infobarrel link. (When there is no blog link to include.)
3. Everyone takes turns being a host which means you need to have a blog or website (it takes just a few minutes to get started with Blogger).
Our first carnival will be next week and will be hosted here. Submissions are due by midnight Sunday 12/13. Email me at netwriterm AT g-m-a-i-l DOT com with the link you wish to promote.
By providing a link you agree to serve as blog carnival host on one of your blogs/websites in the near future.
