Does anyone have any conversion stats for those donate buttons?

I don't think many people actually use them, especially if the traffic is mainly curious readers sent there by mainstream press.

I've had sites with a fair amount of traffic, never received a donation, not ever, not even once. Much more effective to sell a sticker than to place a donate button. A friend of mine recently avoided my advice and replaced his twitter feed with a donate button, he said it was a horribly stupid mistake.

Well, if word gets out they might get a decent amount of traffic from individuals who are considerably more vested than curious readers.
