Jim Kukral has created a unique new tipping system for bloggers and website owners. Instead of asking for donations or using a "buy me a beer" link, you can use the ScratchBack "TopSpot Widget".

So exactly what is "ScratchBack"? It is a fun online "tipping" system that allows you to accept tips and then "give back" clickable links or images to your tippers. You name your price on your tips, and you earn money from every interaction through our easy-to-use automated system. It's free to sign-up, and you can have a "TopSpot widget" on your website or blog in minutes just like the one on mine.

Here is a sample of the Holiday"TopSpot Widgets" that are available:

Plus there are 9 other designs to choose from or you can have one custom made for your site.

Readers get the opportunity to display a text link or image, plus a custom message on museover, on your website or blog as a way to say thank you for their tip. Since your readers are tipping you for your efforts, you are under no obligation to show or approve any listing you find questionable for ANY reason. There are no refunds either. Once they send the money into the system, it's recorded as a tip for you and they cannot have it back. Note: You can turn on manual approve during TopSpot creation so no listings will appear until you have seen them first.

It is very Google friendly as every single link, including the link back to Scratchback, in the "TopSpot widget" has a "nofollow" hard encoded in them. The code is delivered in Javascript format as well. That means that Google and other search engine spiders "won't follow" the link. That doesn't mean your link isn't clickable, it is.

So, you scratch my back and I "ScratchBack" yours!

Let's have some fun!
