Does anyone know (approximately) how much ad networks like adsense pay you per click when you post their ads?

Q. They don't tell you on their adsense website. But if you know about how much similar ad networks pay, please do tell! I'll give you 10 points.

A. Banner ad networks such as Burstmedia or TribalFusion states clearly how much you will get paid because the price of their ads are fixed when they sell the ads to their advertisers. Most banner ad networks pay anywhere from $1-5 CPM depending on the ad format, while CPC rates are typically as low as $0.05 or $0.98 per click.

Adsense, however, does not operate that way. You cannot tell how much the cost per click of the ads in your site will be for the following reasons:

1. There is no set price that advertisers pay in Adsense -- it's a bidding system where the highest bids for the keyword are shown in your site.

2. Advertisers are allowed to target publishers they want their ads to show. And if your site is chosen by advertiser, there is a chance that they will offer a higher paying ads than the advertisers competing on a per click basis.

3. Smartpricing. Smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense. 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 https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9562&query=smart+pricing&topic=0&type=f

----------------------------
Google's smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results -- such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups -- we reduce the price you pay for that click.
----------------------------

So we can have two exactly the same site in terms of topic. But if you do not get targeted ads and worse, you've been smartpriced, I can earn $1.50 per click while you earn only $0.05 per click -- on the SAME keywords.

Is it true that post office employees are paid bonuses commensurate with parcels/premiums handled per office?
Q. I heard that post masters (USPS) are given bonuses based on the number of premium services sold at the retail window or counter per year. Busier, and more profitable offices reward their managers based on this--true or not? Any postmasters here?

A. Untrue. Postmasters are salaried employees and are paid based upon the size of their office.

How much per hour would you pay a photography assistant to do office and post-production work?
Q.

A. How long is a piece of string? We need loads more details, where are you? Is it a payment just for extending their photography assistant duties to include some office work too? Post production pays a lot more than a photography assistant or even a competent photographer, a good one is worth their weight in gold as they can dramatically improve your output which raises your companies profile particularly in portraiture, never skimp on PP work.

How much do these Bush supporters get paid per post?
Q. On Yahoo Answers? I cant imagine anyone supporting him unless there was some serious money involved.

A. They don't get paid, they are mentally challenged and this is the best they can do. Their sources are, if you were to listen to the Rush Limbaugh radio program you would understand where some of these people get their post, they come in here with the same hate that is portrayed on that program. They actually believe it is real. Go figure that a large segment of the population can be so fooled. The only honest answer I have seen is the one that says I love Bush, she is just purely deluded.
