Who doesn't like fun? It makes things less of a chore and even helps people understand concepts better. I applaud you for creating something for fun. Whether people take it seriously or not is really not important. At least, they're having fun. all things seem to fall into place when we leave things to just work out on their own. Fun is good.

Its pushing for bloggers to actually add value, then just selling off the seo link value. So with scratchback, its a basic model to say, hey am I worth a buck? Jim has spoken about this model at affiliate summits in the past. Fo how bloggers were working the tip jar. To well beg... I mean ask for.... a virtual starbucks coffee or beer donation? Jim keep on making things on the web fun. It's how we stumbled into a business model from doing funny product, comedy reviews on the web since 96'. But now we just branded it as a service called "linkbait". So that we could stay with the latest hot web 2.0 marketing words. good point Kevin,

Jim keep on making things on the web fun. It’s how we stumbled into a business model from doing funny product, comedy reviews on the web since 96′.

Regarding lower traffic blogs, I think that scratchback could make more money on some blogs than adsense. And with payperpost dying a death, the options for lower traffic bloggers are slowly disappearing.
