"click to donate" button

How exactly do "click to donate" buttons work on websites like http://www.care2.com?

How is money generated? Is it just clicks that is the main source of fund开发者_开发百科s?

I suspect they have some sponsor that pay for X amount of clicks each month. Usually these sponsors are companies, but also private persons sponsor sometimes

If you want to collect donations on a website then you could use a PayPal donation button.

You would then receive the donations into your PayPal account.
