I’ve been reading a lot about the new Scratch Back Widget and thought I would go ahead and give it a try. (for those that don’t know, a widget is a little gizmo you can install on your blog) You’ll find this new “toy” over on the right column of the blog under the heading “Are You In My Top Spots”
Basically, this widget is supposed to help the blogger earn a bit of money, and help the blog readers increase their web traffic.
If you want to be listed in someone’s top spot, you pay $5. Your link is then there for the world to see (and hopefully, the world will click on that link). Since this is a one-way link, this will also make the search engines take notice. (the search engines like one way links).
I just bought my own top spot on another blog today, too. So I will check my stats and see if I get any traffic from that. I know my friend Nell from Answer Lady Network had been doing this and she saw some dramatic increases in her search engine rankings…
Which of course, is not bad for a $5 ad…
In any case, the jury is still out on this. I haven’t played around with it long enough to know if it is as awesome as people say.
But why don’t you help me try this by buying one of my top spots? Let me know if it brings you traffic!
