Melissa Ingold sent me a message yesterday about a cool new widget called ScratchBack. It’s a great concept for the WordPress tip jar that allows your readers to get a “top spot” link on your blog when they leave you a tip.
I had been using the Buy Me A Beer Plugin here on ClickNewz, but after 6+ months had recently decided to deactivate the plugin. Its a great script, and works flawlessly, but it didnt prove to be a profitable use of the space in my opinion…
It earned $5 this month, $3 in January, and $10 in December. I deactivated this morning and replaced it with the new ScratchBack widget, which you’ll see in the sidebar over to the right.
What’s cool about the ScratchBack Widget? First, its super easy to set up. It’s also free, so you can have it up and running on your blog in less than 5 minutes for zero cost upfront.
You get to keep 90% of the tips, with the other 10% going to ScratchBack. That’s more than fair in exchange for use of the Widget and total automation of your Top Spots links.
You can choose to offer text links or image links in your Top Spots widget. The links use the no-follow tag, so they are completely google-friendly. There wont be any concern about losing PageRank for selling text links
