Pay attention to the directions from the manager
Blog carnivals are great tools for marketing a blog and getting some free backlinks, but there are few ways more effective at killing the proverbial goose that lays the proverbial golden eggs than ticking off the manager of the carnival by not following his/her directions!
If you repeatedly submit spam or overly commercial posts and the manager says that these types of posts are not appreciated, then you risk getting blacklisted.
If you are required to link back to the week’s carnival if your post is accepted, and you blow it off, then you risk getting blacklisted.
If you badger the hosts enough, they’ll get back to the manager, and you’ll get blacklisted.
If you complain to the manager too often, he/she may get really sick of it and blacklist you for sport.
Pay attention to the manager of the carnival, follow the directions, and nobody will get hurt!
