    I think they are usually ignored. Getting people to view your site is a big enough challenge. A lot of people are turned off by PayPal Donation Buttons.

    You might be able to earn a little bit of money from the PayPal Donation button if you give something away on your site and ask for a small donation in return.

    I think this method works if you have a website sharing stuff like Torrent, forum, direct download (Filesonic, Rapidshare, etc) where people get free information where they normally have to pay fortune to buy it. But it's not a consistent income if you ask me. Unless if you can convince them that the money they donate is in the good hand or to make the world a better place or something like that.

    people never give you the money until they feel that there is something useful/helpful with your site/page. so first of all make some valuable/fresg content everyday and try to get more visitors and attract them to stay on your website and return everyday. And implement the mailing lists, so that you can keep posting your updates in to their email inboxes. try Comm100 Email Marketing software for this and also read the tips (e-boook), that how to improve your Email Campaigns. And use the pleasing and considerable words to make your website users to contribute via paypal or whatever the payment option is. All the best :)
