I thought of it as a mix between text links and tagboards. But the more important question I had was whether micro-tipping systems like these were viable.

We're pretty excited about the solution, and from the reaction we're getting from users of it, and the tips it's generating on beta soft launch... well, we just hope to be able to keep improving it. Look for smaller sizes coming soon, and a directory after that, plus more! Thanks for the write up.

We're trying it now at WebHelperMagazine.com, and agree that tips from readers in return for a text link are a good idea. I wondered what the value of this service would be, if some enterprising WordPress plugin programmer makes something comparable, where you'd have a widget to accept PayPal payments for links in the sidebar -- without a 10% service fee to Scratchback? I'm thinking Scratchback programmers will have to scramble to put in some "value added" -- maybe a way to have your link show up on all sites in the network? Yours - Scott Hi There -

Not only is the price lower on many sites, but because of that it almost an impulse buy. Impulse buys are a great addition to monetization for blogs, as they make it easy to get more advertisers, faster.
