You might have noticed a cool new widget in the Blogosphere. It’s called the Scratchback widget and he’s designed and developed by Jim Kukral.

The Scratchback widget is an online “tipping” system and it makes it able for the publisher to accept small donations/tips for short term nofollow links or images in return. You can name your price starting from $1 on your tips, and you earn money from every link order through the Scratchback automated system. It’s free to sign-up, and you can have a TopSpot widget on your website or blog in minutes.
