Dreah Writes For a Living: Xomba is the best

Is that what you want to hear?

The negativity of yesterday (http://www.xomba.com/dreah_writes_for_a_living_the_ac_xomba_experiment_continues) has left me weary... Very weary. I even considered dropping the experiement but then decided that if certain readers were content to read and and leave nasty comments and then purposely NOT click ads (no matter how much they want), then so be it. I would only throw the results to AC.

I did however decide to take a different approach;

I had 188 page impression on Xomba this week and was paid .37 cents.

For every 188 page impressions I get on AC, I make .28 cents.

Looks like Xomba is in the running, even if you add the fact that I make an average of $10.00 per article, that takes me 1/2 hour to write. Looking at the average page hit per article that I write last March, (9896 per article) I can add a whopping 1/10 of a cent to my AC results.

So Xomba writers are essentially correct. Xomba pays a better rate than AC. All I have to do now is wait for the traffic on Xomba to equal the traffic on AC.

disclaimer: This is one writers experiement to determine which online content site will give her the best results. Results may or may not be typical. Page impressions to earnings ratio are based on topic and and relevant ads.

@Allison West--The Secret is in Commenting

mythman - Fri, 2008-3-10 9:42 am

(I expect 'taprial''s next Xombie-sendup will describe MythMan as the Omni-mental Comment-Dude lol) ... well, 'commenting' and all sorts of other in-context linking you can do (all over the net!) When you write a post you really think is 'worth it' (?), spend the rest of the day linking to it from comments on all the blogs you can; and point all your online-contacts to it until it almost seems old! ---Buddha tells Uncle MythMan, "Flood the Open Eyes with the Truth, for as Long as You Exist!"

It's been a while since I wrote this. I would say that this site still has a lot of potential, meanwhile I am making a lot more on AC. ~While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about~

right before I went on my trip I watched a user rack up easily 200 bucks on one Xomblurb in 3 days. This blurb www.xomba.com/www_verizonetfsettlement_com_official_site_verizon_etf_settlement_get_your_money_from_the_class_action_settlement_now Has easily made the user $200 since Sept. 12th. And the Scrap Metal Article (something of much better quality) made that user around $80 last month. www. xomba. com/ how_to_make_money_recycling_scrap_metal Bringing the total to close to $1,000 for one article. Yup, pretty insane.

I've written for both

And you can definitely make more money here at xomba if your smart about it. Also, I feel freer here at xomba than AC.

Associated Content and Xomba earnings

Allison West - Thu, 2008-2-10 4:58 pm

Hi Dreah, I'm Allison West, I also write for Associated Content. My upfront offers on Associated Content seem to be shrinking, so now I'm more into revenue sharing. I'll be posting articles to sites like Triond and Associated Content, and sites like Xomba where I receive $ from ad clicks. I got off to a slow start on Xomba, but today I was so excited to see some clicks! I plan on working across all these sites, to maximize revenue. I love AC, but I think the earnings potential on Xomba may be HUGE over time, and ultimately more than AC or Triond. So I believe in a combined strategy for earnings, working on AC, Triond, Xomba. -Allison http://www.xomba.com/user/allison_west http://www.triond.com/users/Allison+West http://thecommacafe.blogspot.com http://www.associatedcontent.com/allisonwest

The Point I Was Getting to: about How Xomba's AwEsOmE

mythman - Wed, 2007-26-9 4:04 pm

Being a crippled, undead retard, I don't care about the money. But each post on Xomba--`Byte or `Blurb (especially `Blurb)--is the opening of a pen-pal-esque conversation. If someone responds to your content, you get a notification and can either comment on that or edit your article. All commenters get a notification of your action and can respond to it, a choice about which all commenters are notified, at whence they can choose to ... and on and on. It's Life. On AC, content-providers are notified of comments to THEIR ARTICLES, but no one else gets notice of any further action on their articles. (They do let you SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR FRIENDS, which would be awesome if we could do on Xomba ... but it's still more a 'magazine' than a 'community.') 'Community': THAT'S where Life is! Don't get me wrong; the big, moldy, unchanging library of back-issues is an admirable work of dead sculpture, but I'm writing to people! What do You Think? Join Xomba to Tell Us!

Oh, LadyP...I was bored with this before my first comment. That's why I keep coming back. Nobody's writing anything interesting.

I have learned something

Publius - Wed, 2007-21-3 11:18 pm

I have learned something too. I've learned that some people just don't understand what opinions are and can't handle criticism. I've learned that the people who try to turn a comment like "I don't click on ads anyway" into "I'll NEVER click on YOUR ads" are obviously hurt by me not clicking their ads. I've learned that the people who are so defensive about me not liking their writing and having to qualify themselves by saying how good they are on another site, probably aren't really that good at writing. I've learned that some people, despite how much they try to be above the fray, can't help but post another comment trying to take another dig at the person they supposedly "won't have any more" of. So, I guess we've all learned something here.
