Scratchback. Are you in my top spots?
If you’ve seen a widget in the sidebar that says “Are you in my top spots?” then you’ve seen the Scratchback widget. I added Scratchback to this site recently. For those unfamiliar, Scratchback is a way of combining advertising and tipping. A person can leave a tip for a blogger accompanied by a no follow text link which can also include a mouse over message with it. In case you are one of those people who’s never sure what to tip that isn’t a factor because the blogger sets the amount of the tip. Computer Chit Chat’s currently set to receive $2 tips. After the tip has been left, the blogger logs in and approves the link and message. Bloggers can choose to auto approve but I’m not big on auto approving things because I like to check out what’s what. Ads can be configured to be auto bumped, which means newer ads bump older ads off of the list, or set to wipe itself clean and start a new list every 24 hours, 1 week or 30 days. In my opinion the ads are definitely worthwhile because they have great visibility. They’re also a nice way to thank someone for something like a useful tip or good story. Have you checked out Scratchback?

I love Scratchback! Currently I’ve got my link up on the Blog Herald which is proving to bring in some nice traffic. But, what I like the best is that you get some cheap advertising on really great sites. Blog Herald is only a $5 tip!
