Xomba.com Is No Longer Allowing The BookMark/Backlinking Feature

Updated on March 11, 2011

If you have backlinked or bookmarked on Xomba

 You should check your accounts to see if you have any backlinks on xomba.com. Just recently I received an email stating as of February 7, 2011, authors may not use Xomba to promote their own articles, blogs, and web sites.  The official rules are accessible through the posting rules link.  You can find this link at the bottom of every page on  the website. Xomba credits googles new structure as one of the reasons for this poor decision made in part. Apparently, xomba feels that googles algorithmic shift has sent all writing for content sites into a tailspin. Apparently Xomba, has a desire to be free from google and all of its rules. I can surely see how that wish will be greatly fulfilled. As I learned first hand early this morning  when I was emailed abruptly to be informed that most of my articles had been snatched from the bookmarking site.  Just felt the liberty to inform my fellow hubbers, as Xomba was one of the greatly mentioned sites accredited for great ranking with google.  This is not an attempt to bash Xomba; just a reminder if you have hubs that mention Xomba as a backlinking source you should refresh your hub and delete them as a backlinking site.  Xomba is still a great publishing site for articles where in the author writes an publishes original content. Through the publication of your article it is possible to backlink, but be careful you don't want your article snatched.

Backlinking Is A Important Part Of The SEO Equation

Backlinking is a very important part of the search engine organization equation. An whats more important than backlinking is various sites that make backlinking possible. You should utilize all web directories, online articles, related sites, press releases, your personal website, social sites directories, social bookmarking sites, blog sites, and social bookmarking profiles. You should also use affiliate sites to promote your niche. Some great sites for backlinking are www.redgage.com,stumbleupon.com,bestreviewer.com, facebook.com, twitter.com., squidoo.com, shetoldme.com, goarticles.com,ezine.com,ehow.com.
