Wassup? I Have An Online Tipping Jar
Tipping is something that Americans are very familiar with. You normally tip a person for performing a service that you are very satisfied with. The amount of the tip may be a percentage of the bill or it may be at the discretion of the tipper, and usually the better the service the larger the tip.
Bloggers may be seen by many as providing a service and that service is by an large the passing on of information. Unfortunately except the various ‘please donate’ badges there hasn’t really been a way for the reader to tip the blogger for the service provided. Thanks to Scratchback.com I am now have a virtual online tipping jar where the reader can now reward me if they feel that they have acquired something of worth form any of my posts.
There is one major difference and that is that tippers are also rewarded for the tip provided. Rewarded in what way you ask? For your kind generosity you get a link placed in the widget that is displayed over on the right. As this is a relatively new site I have set tips at a $1 which must agree is an extremely low price. I have decided on a top 10 placing and your link will stay in the top 10 until you are bumped off. An example of bumping is that if you are on the No.1 position and someone new tips me you will be bumped to No.2 and so on down the line. If my posts are slack and tipping is slow you could be on the Top 10 for quite awhile.
So, let the tipping begin! ![]()

That’s because I’ve set it so that I have to manually approve all tips
so as to weed out any prospective leads to pornographic and other such undesirable sites. Naturally yours has been approved and I thank you for being my first tipper.
At the moment the link only appears on mouse over which is sill. I will see if I can fix it somehow.

Looks like there needs to be a way to change the color on it to make it show. Hey, since I told you about it, do I get my 15% cut? lol
How about a strong handshake? Seriously, I’ve found that the text doesn’t show because the widget is wider than the sidebar. I’m waiting for a solution from their tech department, if they have one.

Hey Mitch,
I met Sire from one of his comments on your blog, so you’re indirectly responsible for me learning about the ScratchBack tipping jar widget.
Thanks!

Hi Sire,
One of my online friends contacted me just yesterday asking if I had a tip jar so she could send me some business.
I’d never even considered it.
So, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw your tip widget. I wanted to test it, so I left you a tip and everything went smooth as silk.
I just now put one on my blog, but I’m thinking of it more in terms of selling links rather than just getting tips, so I set my price considerably higher than yours. We’ll see how that works. I may drop the price some if I don’t get any takers in the next couple of months.
It looks like things really do turn up just as you need them.
Act on your dream!

They recommend more but being such a new blog I thought I would start a lot lower. Once it’s hit PR3, like my last two blogs, I will consider raising the price some.
