Xomba is an online community, founded in August 2006, which is free to join. Xomba can be used for social bookmarking and for networking but is rapidly gaining a reputation as a writing community, a place for publishing content and an opportunity for making money. Xomba is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme, nor is it a place to post spam or to advertise programs for free. Used correctly though, Xomba users get more traffic to their own web content and earn extra money in their Google AdSense accounts.  

♦ Making money with Google AdSense on Xomba

Anyone with a Google AdSense account who registers at Xomba can enter their own AdSense account number, so that Xomba can incorporate it into 50% of page views for each bookmark or article submitted by that member. There is also a referral system at Xomba, which allows referrers to make extra money from content submitted by other people.

♦ Xomba bookmarks

Submitting bookmarks at Xomba is a great way to share interesting web content. Submitting a bookmark requires a Xomba member to write a description of at least 50 words. This introduction is linked by Xomba to the page or post being bookmarked. Some Xomba members bookmark only their own content, but links to all types of valid content are encouraged.

Each bookmark appears on its own webpage at Xomba, with Google Ads and links to similar bookmarks and articles. Search engine spiders quickly find and index Xomba bookmarks, and genuine visitors to a bookmark at Xomba can help to increase AdSense earnings for the person who posted it on Xomba.

All bookmark titles are indexed and listed in the Xomba directory. Titles also show up on other Xomba pages featuring content with similar keywords.

♦ Xomba articles

Good quality articles submitted to Xomba can get high ranking in search engines, depending on effective use of keywords and popularity of the topic. These must be original articles, written exclusively for Xomba.

Some people use Xomba like a blog, posting regularly about their own lives or writing about celebrities, while others prefer to write short stories or publish poetry on Xomba. People who write informative articles for Xomba generally earn more money in their AdSense accounts.

Xomba can be used to review products, to recommend books and movies, or for writing opinion pieces on political issues and commenting on world events. Helpful guides and factual articles can get a lot of traffic from search engines, and from links on other sites.

Article marketing can also be used to take traffic to websites from Xomba. Links back to content on personal or business websites and blogs can feature, where appropriate, in an article.

Referral links and affiliate links are not allowed, except for affiliate links to items on eBay or Amazon. Articles with this type of link must be original reviews.

Xomba is popular with many Internet writers, bloggers, online business people and social network users. People join Xomba to promote their own web content, for article marketing, to write as a means of self expression, and for sharing information and links to interesting content. The main incentive for many users is the chance to make some money. Xomba members earn money from referrals, bookmarks and articles published on the site, and get paid through their own Google AdSense accounts.
