I working on a few site that would generate alot of traffic, but wonder how much you get paid per click.

Any more pay per click in not a normal way of getting paid. There are still some that will pay you that way, but most Pay Per Action.

In other words, they pay if your site pushes someone to their site, that either purchases an item, or fills out some kind of form.

Examples: Amazon pays you if someone buys a book from your link.

Credit Card companies sometimes, and many times pay you if someone fills out the application form.

If you can match a good product to your topics, you can make some good sales.

Also, take a look at Google’s Adsense as a way to generate money from your site.

If you’re wanting a better understanding of Affiliate Marketing you should either look at Rosalind Gardner’s Super Affiliate Handbook, or at her Net Profits Today newsletter. The newletter is free.

I’ve reviewed the book on my blog at http://www.reviewthefacts.com/wordpress there is also a link to the newletter there.
