Here are a few tips on promoting your edition of a blog carnival that you’ve slaved away at:

• Ask the bloggers who submitted articles to share the carnival with their readers. This probably is only fair, and some carnival managers are requiring that submitters link back to the carnival or run the risk of being blacklisted.
• Use any trackbacks you’re given and find the ones that you’re not. Trackbacks are similar to permalinks but they are used to automatically post a comment linking from the trackback link’s post to the site that initiated the trackback. This places a few links back to the carnival on the submitting bloggers’ posts.
• Use StumbleUpon to bring some juice to the carnival.  If you think that Stumbling your own posts is shady, then try this: Stumble your Editor’s Picks, and then let those bloggers know that you’ve done this and ask them to Stumble the carnival for you.  This way it looks more natural.
• Use social networking avenues like Twitter, Del.icio.us, etc. to announce the carnival.
