Las Vegas is a Tipping Town, Right?

It seems everyone lives on tips in Las Vegas, from cocktail servers to bartenders, to limo drivers, to parking attendants right down to the guy giving you towels in the bathroom. The list goes on and on. Why not tip real estate agents as well? I'll give you some time to stop laughing at that one. But in all seriousness, I wanted to make you aware of a very interesting website service I uncovered at the BlogWorld Expo called ScratchBack.com.

ScratchBack is an online "tipping" system. It allows blog authors to accept tips and "give back" links or images in return. It works for both bloggers and readers so I added the widget to this blog as you'll see in the left navigation bar called "Are You In My Top Spots?".

In exchange for your contribution, the widget allows you to leave your website url so people viewing this high traffic blog (highly targeted people, I might add) can go directly to your website. And the cost? Just $5.00 per tip. The spots are first come first serve, so when all the spots are taken, the very next contributor goes to the top of the list and knocks whoever's last off. The most recent contributor is always number 1 in the listing. There is no catch, other than the fact I get to approve or disapprove the entry.

It's like a fancy, fun tip jar, except it's better because the tipper actually gets something in return. C'mon... It's Christmas time - show your favorite Las Vegas High Rise Condo blogger some love!
