Xomba really splits ad revenue?

Xomba is a free community that allows writers to write about anything that they know and make some money by doing so. It utilizes Google Adsense for generating revenues which it splits with the writer of the article. Write writes about something on Xomba and Xomba places Adsense ads above, below and in the middle of the article. According to them, it is not get rich quick scheme (I totally believe them on this one).

I created an account on Xomba myself when I started this blog but I don't think Xomba has helped me at all. This blog has atleast made me $5.71 ever since it started. Not a big amount but I can say that whatever I have written is atleast worth $5.71. Anyway, there is no way to find out whether the content/material/articles I wrote on Xomba generated me any adsense revenue, atleast I haven't found any tools on Xomba. They also don't have any daily, weekly or monthly reports, letting people know if they made any money posting on Xomba.

I have seen other people posting alot on Xomba so they must be benefitting from Xomba in someway. I guess Xomba helps in bringing readers to your blog. I do think that Xomba should add some statistics or some tools to let their content contributors know how well are they doing and if Xomba is able to help them at all. I suspect that Xomba never splits the revenue with their content contributors and probably pockets the entire ad revenue. But I could be totally wrong. I will put this article on Xomba and get some feedback from the people who post alot on Xomba.

I know that I have given Xomba my adsense account ID, so that makes me think that probably Xomba is fair but how it all works, I frankly do not understand. I don't know how Xomba and Google Adsense take care of splitting the ad revenue. Maybe someone can clarify and I hope I don't get grilled by Xomba content contributors on writing this nonsense.


BTW, I never found any article on Wikipedia talking about Xomba.

Hi,

I'm Nick the owner of Xomba.com.

We wouldn't have very many writers if we kept all the ad revenue. If you would have sent us an email (we actually read and answer them) then we would have explained everything to you or pointed you in the right direction.

1. You can see how many reads each of your articles receive by looking below your article.

2. You track your earnings through Google Adsense. We have no idea how much you make because we just see our half as a whole. You can track individual urls through Adsense that can help you keep up with articles.

3. We have some people who make $50-$100 a month and a few who make that in a day. Feel free to ask around on the site.

4. We flip your adsense number with ours and that is how the ownership of the ads is determined.

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us.

Thanks,
Nick
