    is asking for donations can cause the visitor to click on the ads ?

    Will it be allowed to ask for donation on sites which are feautring google adsense ads ??

    Having Paypal donation button in the site, people assume the webmaster needs a help and support and money. But since a donation costs money, people choose to help the webmaster by clicking ads, because that's free.

    i am just confused .. what you think ?

    You can't say for users to click the ads in anyway but saying "Please Donate" then having a Paypal donation button is fine.

    Encouraging donations is OK. Asking for ad clicking is not.

    There are many who will click on the ads because they don't want to donate, however, it is not your fault.

    Peace,

    Try not to connect between those two. It's ok to have one donation button related to your content and present some ads for people to choose whether they want to view it or not. But never in anyway, deceive the users on clicking the ads and misuse the donation button.
