how many of you actually get something from paypal donation boxs?

[trOver]

ive always wanted to make a cool webpage, or an informative webpage and have one of those paypal donation boxs to make money

do they work?

I think donate boxes work better if you have some sort of free software, and then if the people find the software useful they will donate.
For a content/info site you would probably do better with Google AdSense.

They can work if people appreciate the content you provide.

I would also recommend adding a wish list like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/

Even if people appreciate the content, it's a good bet that AdSense would perform better. I guess that doesn't really matter though, since he could put both on his site.
It also depends on what age your visitors are, because if you have a site targetted at teens or younger kids, they won't have any money to donate.
