Default Has anyone had success with donation buttons??

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.

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