I cannot find on their website what the rate of pay is. And do you know of any other affiliate programs you can put on your website? Thanks for answering.

      You won’t know how much is the per click amount because the amount depends on the bid placed by the advertiser.

      Aside from the bidding, there is what is called smartpricing that adjusts the price paid by the advertiser depending on the nature of the page. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click - but your site is smartpriced - then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.

      Here is Google’s explanation of smart pricing

      Would Adsense be worthwhile? It depends on a lot of factors and how you turn those factors to benefit you. I earn 5-digits a month from Adsense so it is DEFINITELY WORTHWHILE for me. If you’re earning pennies from the program, then either you don’t know how to maximize it or your site is better suited to run a different type of program

      In terms of earning money on Adsense, your mileage varies. One website with 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 a month while another may earn $5,000. It is not easy to predict how much you will earn from Adsense. The only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it.

      Adsense is not like other affiliate programs when you know how much exactly you will earn.

      If you are looking for affiliate programs, here are some places to look

      Commission Junction
      Clickbank
      Linkshare
      Amazon Associates Program
