ScratchBack is an online “tipping” system. As a blogger I can accept tips and “give back” text links or images in return. I work out a price for my tips in this case a bargain at a dollar, create my widget which is super simple to do, copy the code and I'm in business. You can see my Scratchback "Top spot" widget in the sidebar which took under 2 minutes to create & add.

It's all automated you can choose the time they display I chose auto bumping which means as someone buys a tip they get the topspot and the others are bumped down one place. Alternatively TopSpot can be set to a 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day listing instead. They also have a "Mini Marketplace" where you can add your blog for free right now.

I decided to test drive one of the free online polls today. How did I choose which one to try? Simple I used google and went to the first result which was PollDaddy.

With the Melbourne Cup coming up I made a poll here on another blog to ask readers who they think will win the "race that stops a nation"

PollDaddy was super simple and flexible to use, I registered and was logged in and ready to go instantly. You can customize with a style to match your blog or site. Available in JavaScript, flash, direct link, widget or RSS.

These 100% free polls are compatible with blogger, typepad, wordpress, my space, friendster, Hi5 and more.

PollDaddy are a Webware 100 winner for 2007 You can read the article here at http://blog.polldaddy.com/?p=53 I just left this comment below (currently being moderated) on their blog on how lucky I was to find the best on my first try.

My first time using a free online poll today actually I'm just writing on my experience right now, and how lucky am I to find a winner first try. Congratulations
