I’ve been wondering for a while what exactly a “carnival blog” is since I see it referred to a lot by a blogger I subscribe to. He writes about the Carnival of the Capitalist in particular. Then this morning I noticed a comment on a recent post of mine that’s from one of these blogs. I can’t tell who is producing this blog but what it looks like is a blog that doesn’t produce any original content. They just take images and content from other people’s blogs. Like in this case, mine. They’re topical and as far as I can tell are only in business to create traffic and revenue. But for who? Somehow the idea of someone else using my content to create traffic for themselves isn’t right. I don’t feel good about that. If I’m mis-judging this I would be happy to know how and have someone explain it to me. If I’m not, then maybe I should delete their comment. Anyone have any more information on this or suggestions?
