Make a Paypal donation button the easy way

Paypal hides it's donation generation stuff well, there is the hard way to make the donation button(cost me around 5 minutes)
donate
or, if you are a web guru, try use the easy way, just use the link I provide you
This is the link I used:

https://www.paypal.com/xclick/
business=mgcclx%40gmail.com&item_name=WebDevLogs
&no_shipping=1&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD&lc=US

I break it into many lines so it fit in the browser...
just change the query:
business: your paypal username, make sure change @ to %40
item_name: name of the donation
currency_code: usually USD is good :)

Signature ads

Signature around forums and communities influence user in many different aspects, one of the most important one would be encourage the viewers to click the link in the signature(Ad!). I believe the 5% of my click in forums are on signatures, especially when the post is wonderfully forged. Usually the link that suppose to promise a land of
artistic web page pursuit me to say "WTF" and close the window, but I can't denial the signature is a great place for ad placement.

Share ad revenue with the contributor

The share revenue idea was every where, sites contain their user's content sometimes share revenues, include Revver. But these normally apply to informative texts and multimedia files.

Webmaster-Talk, become one of the few to let the poster in forums share a piece of gold. The idea is great, it increase contribution rate of the user and make users feel that the posts can be worth a while to be posted.
Here is how it works:

Ad Revenue is shared between the Administrators, the new Thread Starter and the last replier in a particular thread.

As a new thread starter, there is a 50% chance your AdSense Code will be displayed for each page view. The last replier in a particular thread will have a 25% chance that their AdSense Code will be displayed for each page view and the administrators have the final 25% chance.

This should encourage both new thread posting in addition to participation in other member's threads.

I wish there is a time where all the forums in the world got a share revenue API on their page, at least I posted over 5000 posts in the world and that should generated at least 5 million page views for those sites.

I just blocked over 200 sites, looks like there are no "Impressive" 1 cent per click.
