Over at KarenSugarPants.com, Karen is doing something really neat with her ScratchBack widget. She’s donating all the tips she gets to a good cause.

Last month I made $45.66 through BlogHer ads and immediately turned it over to Lisa. I so desperately wanted it to be more.

When I saw this program over at ScratchBack, I knew I could create another way to help Lisa.

But this time I can offer you something back. A link on my sidebar. See over there where it says “Get In My Pants Top Spots?”

For $10, payable through Paypal, you can have a link from this site to yours for as long as there’s a spot available. So the first 20 people get on the list, and if #21 comes along, you get bumped but can pay again to get back on the team. Every dollar I receive from ScratchBack will be donated to Lisa and her family.

I sure would like to see Lisa’s family have a full team roster over there in my sidebar. Want to join the team?

(Also, if you want to do the same thing on your blog, by all means! The more the merrier!)

Pretty awesome way of helping someone. I just tipped her, will you!????

All you have to do is signup for the private ScratchBack update email list which is featured on the top right of every page of the SB blog. Details will be sent on how you can have us send you your free laptop sticker, courtesy of StickerGiant.com.

USA only please! Sorry.

They are awesome!

It’s Summer. July 2008 to be exact and we’re still in full swing of our beta launch. Yep, it’s still going. We figured we should give you a heads up on what we’re doing over here, so here goes.

We’re mostly working on the new changes out of beta. Well, we’re working on planning those changes and getting ready for development that is. We want to get it all done right the first time before go back into the programming stage.

When will it be done? Not sure, but it will get done eventually. Again, we have to do it slow and right. We’re not a million-dollar empire that can waste money away. We’re a start up!

So other than that, we can tell you that every month we are growing in terms of more tips and more users. It’s been a might growth that’s for sure. The other day we reached over 4,000 publishers in our system. Ok, sure, not a ton, but a great amount for a beta product tha did no advertising eh?

Feel free to leave your comments below and have a great summer, and don’t forget to set your tips high!

Super blogger, and cool dude, Technosailor.com has added ScratchBack to his blog and has the price for a tip set at only $10 bucks. A very low tip considering the high-level influencer he is and the people who read his blog. I highly suggest you get a listing over there before it fills up.

Oh yeah, he did a nice review of us too. Thanks Aaron.

We’ve just released four brand-spanking-new widget designs. These are from our “let’s have some fun and be silly” line of widget designs. You can see them in action below, or switch up a current widget you are already running by logging in to your account and going to your widget manager and updating your widget settings.

Note: You DO NOT have to update your code to use a new widget design. Just keep clicking next until you see the code again and your new design will be live!

Click image to see them in full size!

So, what do you think? Should we get even more crazy with these? What kind of widgets would you like to see?

(Yes, we know you want smaller sizes and those will be coming soon enough).

Great review of us over at QuickStopEntertainment.

If you’re a blogger or web site owner looking for a new way to involve your readers in supporting your work, I highly recommend checking this widget out. In my professional life, I see tons of new ideas come and go, and it’s rare that I see one like this that really pops out. And it further proves that there’s always a better mousetrap!

Thanks so much!

I just posted this video in the ScratchBack admin “creation” page. Figured it should be posted here as well.

We’re flying through the beta here and getting ready to send out March tip earnings. Wow, this is the biggest payout yet! You guys are sure earning the tips and making some cash.

Note: If you haven’t put in your PayPal address in the admin, do it now. You will not get paid unless that address is in place. Payments coming in a few days if you’ve earned over $25. Get ready!

We’ve just sent out a round of request for proposals to a bunch of PHP programmers for updates and enhancements for moving ScratchBack out of beta. We have our internal list of features we want done, but what about you?

What do you want to see ScratchBack roll out first? Smaller widgets and a customizable widgets designer tool is at the top of our list. Along with Paypal subscriptions and tracking features. We have more, but we want to hear from you.

Sound off! You just might get it.
