How Does Zimbio Work? - A starter's guide to using Zimbio 

Use Zimbio to Promote your blog entries to a target audience

Zimbio is an online social networking/sharing site that allows users to build interactive wikizines (web magazines) on whatever topic they choose.

The interface is incredibly easy to use and allows you to create topics in just a few minutes including:
  • RSS feeds (including your blog!)
  • Articles submitted from your blog.
  • The latest news articles
  • Pictures
  • Movies
  • Comments
  • Forums
  • and More...

Why Zimbio is good for bloggers... 

Get free Internal and external Links for your blog.

Zimbio allows bloggers to submit their RSS feed to their site. This RSS feed then pulls the articles off of your site and allows you to add them to any of the subjects on the site (or create your own subject!).

The beauty of the system is that every article you add gets a backlink to your site. Since zimbio's mission is to be an authority site on many different topics, google will often feature it highly in it's SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages)

What this means for you:


  • More Google 'Juice' for your site.
  • Possibility of increasing your PR (Page Rank)
  • Tap into a new reader base
  • Become recognized as an authority on your topic

You know, I have been on Zimbio for a while, but hadn't gotten any traffic. Just read this the other day for the second time, and now I noticed traffic on one of my lenses from there. Hmmmmm. . . . interesting powers you have. . . . :)

Yep, I do the Zimbio thing too, but not regularly. It's seems there's not enough hours in the day sometimes. It is good for a backlink, and I like to see what other's have done with their "wikizine".
