Remember Google’s wrath for sites that sell text links? Cesar Campos of Work at Home Enterprising informed me about one service that might just make us all forget about this issue – Jim Kukral‘s ScratchBack.

ScratchBack is a tipping service that allows blog owners to make money through accepting as low as $1 from people who would like to send some money just for being kind or appreciating the blog’s value. It’s something like the PayPal donation button but a lot cooler for the following reasons:

- It allows the blog owner to thank the donor to get something in return by providing exposure for their own websites through links and/or images that the Scratchback widget displays.

- It has a wide array of web 2.0′ish designs that the blogger can choose from (see one of the sample widgets design on the right). But if you don’t like any of those designs, you can create your own custom widget design and be send it to the ScratchBack staff so it can get approved for your use.

- It can be one fun way for your visitors to give back to you while you earn more because of the ScratchBack TopSpots widget’s mechanics – the most recent tippers’ links get bumped up.

The first feature I’ve mentioned sounds more of like the service offered by Text-Link-Ads, right? Its similarity to this service from MediaWhiz has something to do with ScratchBack’s not having problems with Google’s pagerank issue. According to TechCrunch, the links that will be displayed through the TopSpots widget will have the nofollow attribute and the widgets were built using javascript.

And now for the Make Money Online Quick part of the title of this post, ScratchBack is said be good for those who’d like to make money from their blogs faster since $1 per link is a reason for impulse buying. What’s your take on this.

I’ve tried using the widget on my blog but its size destroy my blog’s layout. So I sent an email to Scratchback’s support team and asked if the widgets can get resized. And I’m glad that the response is quite quick – they asked me what’s the size I need. I hope its customer service department maintains that quick response time.

So what’s the catch?

ScratchBack keeps 10% of what you earn from the TopSpots widget.

I’d like to read from those who are currently using the TopSpots widget. How’s it faring so far?
