ScratchBackThe Fun Way To Do Online Advertising

You like tech blogs? Check it out then. http://techie-buzz.com/ is running the ScratchBack widget for a tip of only $5.00. Great deal, for a great blog on technology.

My aim at blogging is to spread the news about the latest technology and keep it as simple as it gets, I get some chances to review beta and alpha softwares, I tend to give information to the users about how they can use those and what are the good and bad features.

If you’re using the ScratchBack widget and you’d like to see your blog featured here. Just drop us a note!

We’re not going to say who it is just yet, but we wanted to announce that a blog network has begun testing of the ScratchBack system across their blogs. The widgets we made for them are custom designed to match each blogs’ color. We’re pretty excited about it.

Hopefully we’ll get permission from the network to talk about it down the road when we have more data. Till then, keep your eyes out for widgets in new places you may not have seen them before. We’re taking the online tipping space by storm!

Check out our newest widget user over at http://timothysykes.com. He’s using a very swanky custom designed widget that is set for $20/tip, on auto-bump. His blog gets over 3,000 unique visitors a day, so that’s a pretty great deal if you ask us. Go tip him!

We’ve been conducting a little experiment over the past month or so. We wanted to see how/if tipping ScratchBack users with a direct link to an affiliate site would drive conversions and sales for a product. So here’s what we did.

Over the past month, we’ve tipped close to $200 across a few hundred ScratchBack widgets all together. Some were $1.00, some were more, and we didn’t care what type of site of blog it was we tipped. Tip: Using the ScratchBack directory is a good place to look for blogs to tip.

The site we promoted was www.buytheflip.com, which has affiliate links on it to Buy.com. The payout from Buy.com is 3% of a sale, and the typical purchase price of a Flip camera is about $150. So selling one camera earns about $4.50 in commission.

So in return for our tips, we put up links that looked like this example image below. You can see one live here.

Did it work? Yes! Here’s how the numbers crunched for us.

Tips given to promote affiliate site = $200
Sales of product through Buy.com = 62
Commission earned for sales = $279
Profit = $79

Essentially, this proves that you can use ScratchBack to drive affiliate sales, if you’re smart about it.

We’re seeing a LOT of people doing this, promoting all kinds of offers like ebooks and mastermind courses. Give it a try. Try the directory to find some good places to tip!

Are you experiencing the same kind of luck we had? Contact us because we’d love to feature your story!

We’ve sorta quietly launched our new directory, or marketplace, the other day. Check it out at www.scratchback.com/directory.
