I am thinking of trying this donation thing, however I was wondering of anyone out there has tried it (I know you are out there somewhere) D

Before donating, I want to hear if it worked for you.

How many greens and yellows did you get, and for what site, when you donated.

This will greatly help out my mind. It could also encourage others to donate and I would like to see freeipodguide.com stay open.

Thanks.

Donations don't guarantee you any referrals, or sign-ups. It's for keeping the site alive. It might get you referrals, but at the same time it might not.

I donated, got ZERO referrals even though I saw my link on the site. That was $10 down the toilet. Oh well, at least now I know about alternative ways to try to get referrals.

as you can see above donations aren't meant to give you anything but a clean conscience, lol

donations are gifts. you aren't supposed to expect anything in return.

I know thats what it means to donate, lol

however a lot fewer people would donate without getting anything out of it, and in this case all 5 referrals as it states that everyone has received is worth donating, and this is not the case.

Someone needs to change that sign on the donation links. wink
