Tip us $20, get 200,000+ exposure and a link from us

I saw this rather cool service over the weekend by the name of Scratchback. It allows bloggers to easily accept tips from readers (via PayPal) and, in return, the tipper gets a link of their choice on SMS Text News until they’re bumped by other tippers. It’s Google-friendly too — and that’s important.

I’ve put Scratchback on every page of SMS Text News — to the right, there — to see what you all think of it:

So a $20 tip — that is, a tenner, folks — gets you exposure to over 200,000 C-Level and Mid-Level mobile industry executives, analysts and fanatics. There are ten slots and you’re link stays up until it’s bumped by the 11th person.

Fancy giving it a go?

Triple kudos to the first person who adds the link to O2’s data package page to the top of the list.

  1. This is pretty cool and I agree that the exposure is easily going to be worth the tenner for the right services (“exposure to over 200,000 C-Level and Mid-Level mobile industry executives, analysts and fanatics”).

    However, because my day-job (http://www.distilled.co.uk) means I spend too much time trying to understand how Google works, I just wanted to point out that while it might be ‘Google friendly’ in the sense of not annoying Google, it isn’t going to help tippers’ websites’ performance in Google because the outbound links are ‘nofollowed’ (see e.g. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/quick-comment-on-nofollow/ for an explanation).

    Cool service though…

  2. Will, you’re absolutely correct — the chaps at Scratchback have specifically implemented the nofollow code because that’s Google friendly. As a brief thank you though, I’ve got a blog post coming up with a link to each tipper 😀
