Other than Steve P. of course

. I just wonder if it does more harm than good on a smaller site where you are still working to gain a larger following.

It never harmed me. I put the donate button on my site the first day I went online. It's been used something like 3 or 4 times in the 4 months I've been live, so nothing big has come out of it, either. Though, I was offered a pig once!

LOL that's what I'm afraid of, with some of the searches that bring people to my site, I'm likely to get live ducks or something

. I'm not putting my address up there though, once I get a business P.O. box I might put it up there, we'll see.

Zip! My ads do better.

Yeah, even software I offer, donations just never happen.

i have not put up a donation tab yet ,but i think they are worth trying ,at the most you won't get anything

and if you are lucky someone might pay something

I've not had any success, but my donation page is hidden away and doesn't have the best copy ever.

Even though I haven't had any success, adding the buttons only took an hour or two to add, so even if I only get one donation it will be worth it.

I bet Steve Pavlina gets a lot of donations.

I know HE does, but I'm not him and my subject matter is different, just curious about other people's experience is all
