Have you made money out of cubing websites via donations?

[rishidoshi]

all you guys with great websites, do people donate? how much have you 'earned'?
I thought of putting that paypal donate button on my blog, which has got an astonishing amount of clicks. Zero to be precise.
shall i drop it? donate button sometimes seems too needy.
For e.g. a visitor is viewing your content, getting happy about it, liking it , and all of a sudden... DONATE. turns him off.
any tips, experiences?
thanks.

EDIT: just wondering, if badmephisto had a dollar every visitor!
i know my content is too less as compared to other good resources. this is a general question.

I know of only a single person making a profit (and I don't think this profit is much - I think he's just happy to be breaking even)

Profit can be a nice bonus - but it shouldn't be your motivation.

I think donations only work if you have a reason (such as trying to pay for a legal fund or medical care or something) or if you have such an incredibly gigantic number of visitors that you actually get some significant money through it. Otherwise it's just not worth it. I've never considered putting a donate link on my page, personally.

I make a small amount of money from Google Adsense and YouTube partnership. It's probably way more than anyone would donate.

I got a donation once, but that was for the competition registration scripts I wrote.

I can't figure adsense out.

I saw that donate option on a famous cubing site so i put it too. Then I realised that cubing is a relatively very small community and mainly has school/college going kids/teenagers. Now, I don't want a part of their pocket money
anyway il remove the button from my site. Il take a look what youtube partnership is. didnt know about it.
btw I dont really want any money. This is just for the heck of it
thanks
