I sent an e-mail with a link to the site to everyone I know. I really poured it on and it has thusfar worked. The key is to make it convienient and to get people excited about what you are doing. Then the thing snowballs. As for random internet traffic....I have only received 1 donation of $100 so far this year. I can anly assume that it was somebody on one of the forums that did it.
