Using Xomba as an Article Directory

Thoughts about article directories . . .

Hello Everyone!

We are having a wonderful mild winter in Nova Scotia. This makes getting through the cold months that much easier.

I was reading something the other day about how a person should write a number of articles centered around their meta tags and submit them to article directories to generate traffic to their blogs. Now, I've contributed articles to a number of free article directories with this objective in mind and it is a good marketing method-- but I've been thinking about this and wondering how to make articles like this do double-duty.

Using Xomba as an Article Directory
A while back I joined Xomba and got thinking that it would be a far smarter approach to write a 150-word Xombite article centered around my meta tags and link back to my blogs, thus earning on the article at Xomba and directing readers to my blogs.

This scenario makes far more sense to me. A writer could use Xomba as an article directory of sorts to accomplish the same purpose as a free article directory but the difference would be that the writer earned on the submitted articles. This is a win-win scenario in my books. What do you think?

Have you made any money at XOMBA? I haven't had any luck, although I haven't really spent the time.

Yes, Athlyn. I think this is a good idea. I've been writing for Ezine articles for some time. They don't give me much traffic, so I've been thinking lately that maybe I'm better served writing the article and putting it on my own blog, giving myself all the traffic on that particular topic. I know that these sites (esp. Ezine) have their own built-in traffic. But who's to say that building up my blog won't give me that built-in traffic in a few years?

Hi Ancient Digger,
Yes, you make money, not only with Xomba but with the traffic it generates to your other articles. It takes awhile to gain momentum but if you work at it, it is well worth the time invested.

Hi Anne,
If you post content to your blog that helps it to get spidered by search engines, then if you send traffic to it via Xomba, you are also sending traffic--and you earn on each site!

The Xomba concept is one of the best ideas I've seen in recent months for making money online.
