Has anybody used http://www.wheresgeorge.com enough to get a good feel on how often bills get hit? My aunt gave me a stamp and inkpad that I've been using all month, but none of my 50 bills have been entered by anybody else yet.

I got my first hit pretty quickly, but people say it can take a month or two. It is slow at first (50 bills really isn't a lot, but you just started), but pays off eventually. I get several hits a week and have three international hits. There are people that get many-multiple hits a day. Obviously, the more you put out there the more likely you will get hits. And 1s are tons more likely to get hit than any other bill amount. In fact, the only other bill size I have had hit is 4 5's.
I love Stamp Connection. Most of their stamps aren't very expensive, and I have collected several over the years. I have a set I keep at work and at home. The palette inks are the best, too, for not smearing or washing off.
Yeah, basically, what rosie said. I used WG pretty heavily a couple years ago, and it just takes time. Now I find I just don't use cash enough to bother stamping/tracking.
When I first started, I was taking out $50-100 a month in ones for lunches, vending, random collections teachers wanted money for... Now we are cash only, but that really requires larger bills. I have no desire to EMS hundreds of dollars in ones a month, and it bothers Eric to spend them too. So I grab and EMS change throughout the month. But, like I said, none of my larger bills have ever been hit. I sherlock them anyway. I still try to do about $50 a month in ones.
