osWorld is promoting that they throw together a free custom design for the TopSpot widget. Nice deal.

‘ve been quite impressed with the Scratchback system as a buyer of links. I bought links on all the blogs in the 5starred top 100 (so long as the link was only $1 - I’m a cheapskate). Seeing drips and drabs of traffic, but nothing much.

Anyway, I want more links, but I don’t want to pay for them. So here’s an idea for you scratchback users…

The scratchback widget is sort of “designable”, and I know that there are not many people with the design “flourish” to make something that looks decent. So, how about I make a few scratchback designs - and if you want to use one, you simply give me a link back from the blog on which you are using it.

In other words, you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.
