    What's your thought on sites that have a PayPal donation sign on it?

    I'm thinking about adding one on my blog Blogged Out but I'd appreciate your thoughts.

    A paypal donation button would be o.k. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    I've always thought paypal donation as a way of scrounging money off people, but if its a blog or site with good useful content, they I'd probably donate a few £'s.

    I think there good for sites/blogs that don't make much/any money, have a lots people who visit there site and don't charge for anything. If people really feel like your site has helped them then they may Donate to you. :).

    You need loyal readers first. there are some blogs which I frequent, and I have dropped in a couple of bucks in their paypal donation box.
