Xomba Blog: Discussion of Changes and Workshop

Hi Everybody,

First, let me start off by saying that our Spooky Contest ends Friday so you need to get those short stories to us. Read all about the contest and how you can win up to $150 by clicking here.

Your response to the Xomba Workshop has clearly demonstrated to us we need to hold another one. We'll be setting the date and time by the end of the week, but it looks like it will be held the first week in November.

We've started making changes to Xomba. You'll notice the search is completely different and allows you to filter your results. Be sure to check it out.

No more duplicate postings due to a new fix on the Submit button. You will only be able to press it once from now on.

The Tag error should be gone as well when you try to enter tags in your posts.

The next changes involve unique titles and unique links in Xomblurbs. You will no longer be allowed to post titles that have already been used.

Starting soon you will not be allowed to link to the same exact URL in Xomblurbs. This change is paving the way for a special widget we have planned which will be revealed in the later months. I know some of you are worried about this forthcoming change, but you need to trust us.

You'll still be allowed to link to the same domain just not the same page.

Feel free to voice your comments/concerns below.

One other note, please flag anything that does not make sense or is not in 100% English.

If you read something on Xomba and you do not think it makes sense as far as word structure goes please flag it. If a post is blatant spam please flag it.

Basically, if you think something has little to no value or is strictly trying to sell or advertise then please flag it and leave a reason.

In a few days we'll post the Workshop date.

Until then take care and have fun.

We need your questions

Please leave any specific questions that you want answered in the workshop on the new blog. Thanks!

Xomba Workshop Update

Wow, so many new members flooding in over the last month. We're going to announce our Xomba Workshop this Monday in a blog and in a newsletter. It will probably be the week after next. We might have 2 in one week. One at night and one in the day. I know tons of you have questions and comments and hopefully we'll be able to get to them all. Plus, we'll tell you why you have the best chance making money on Xomba and how to do it.

Is it possible to categorize our own posts - eg - if i search under category fiction, i get all the posts in fiction including top rated ones. would be nice if i can get all my posts under category fiction under one roof so to say.

Google

Sometimes Google moves things around. Our traffic has been high all week. So just give it some time.

Dropped off the internet..

Over the last 48 hours I noticed a drop in my traffic and impressions as well as a few of my posts that were at the top of google searches and receiving lots of traffic, have complete dropped off..They cannot even be found on google. Very strange. iPhoneBuyZone.com

Hall Of Fame

For the time being the hall of fame link is in the About Us page. We'll be redoing the testimonial page with the redesign and the hall of fame link might move there. Not really sure yet.

Blurbs Idlewild?

"It seems like once some URL shows up on Google Trends there are a dozen blurbs linking to it within a half hour." As I recall, for some URLs like nick.com, you definitely are one of the dozen. So are you telling us you are not going to write on URLs anymore?
