What is Xomba?

Struggling to get a Google Adsense account approved?  Joining Xomba can help.

Xomba is a writing and bookmarking site that shares its Adsense revenue with its writers.  It is free to join.

It is really easy to submit articles to Xomba, and writers can also link to articles they have elsewhere on the Internet, whether these are articles written by strangers, or their own articles on their blogs, websites or other writing sites.

Although an article may be removed by Xomba admin, the articles don’t seem to be declined or returned to the writer for revision – they are accepted immediately.

The Xomba system automatically prevents you from writing a title for your article that already appears on another Xomba article.

When providing a link when you bookmark a site or article with a short summary (minimum 50 words), the Xomba system does not allow you to link to a site or article that another Xomba member has also linked to in a bookmark.

This is good, as it provides better content for readers, bringing them back to Xomba again. (Who wants readers to keep saying “Most bookmarks on Xomba all link to the same thing! What a boring site!”)

Google Adsense ads appear on both your articles and bookmarks. It’s a good idea to use quite a few bookmarking sites when promoting traffic to any online article, but it’s a bonus when that “bookmarking site” is also a place that has ads next to your bookmark that you can earn a share in revenue from. This makes bookmarking your articles on Xomba not only fun and good for extra traffic, but also profitable.

Xomba articles can be as short as 150 words, and a Xomba bookmark summary can be as short as 50 words. This is not a lot of words at all, making it easier to submit to Xomba on a regular basis.

(The above paragraph is already an easy-to-create 41 words)

Xomba have an ad banner at the top of the article pages that is not a Google Adsense ad. Writers do not earn from this ad, when it is clicked. Other than that banner, the other ads seem to be only Google Adsense, and are nicely placed.

There is a really easy step-by-step guide on Xomba to help you set up an Adsense account with Google Adsense. This guide also explains exactly how to add your Adsense publisher ID to Xomba.

Many writers have their own blogs or websites, but cannot get an Adsense account application approved due to their sites not yet receiving enough traffic.  It is easier to get a Google Adsense account approved through Xomba.  Once approved, the same Adsense publisher ID can be used on other writing sites that also offer their writers an opportunity to earn through Adsense revenue sharing.
