Monetize Your Pages With a Tip Jar

Posted on March 4th, 2008 by Bompa

I saw an innovative monetization technique being used on SeoRefugee today.A Tip Jar!We’ve seen the “Donate” button, but most of us feel embarrassed to have it on our site and we might feel unsatisfied giving a handout.

But giving someone a tip? We can do that! We like giving a tip for good service, right?

The folks behind this call their site Scratchback.

“ScratchBack is an online “tipping” system (or as we like to call it, a fancy-schmancy tip jar). It allows you, the blogger, to accept tips and “give back” links* or images* in return on your blog or website.” - ScratchBack
