Tips for being included in the Lead Optimize Blog Carnival

Outbound Links: I am usually hesitant to accept articles that do not have any outbound links - it often indicates the writer is a newbie to blogging. This is not to say I will not accept blogs without links…just that I prefer links in blogs. They show confidence.

Repetitive/Overdone Topics: If the article is about a topic I have seen 1 million times, I will assume my readers have seen it at least 1,000 times and do not want to see it again.

Completely Off-Topic AND No Special Content: Will not be included and should not even be on your blog.
