I don't get paid either. I tried a few different "paying programs" but it takes some time to try them all and to see which one is the best. Does anyone have a really 'paying' afflite program I can sign up for that is worth my time?

Google AdSense is THE program that PAYS. They are fair and they pay well for clicks. But if you try to cheat, you are gone.

That is also being fair, right? Never click on your own ads...

Though I have an account, I have never received so many clicks worth getting paid for. If you have a good site with lots of content and many visitors, you may make good amount of money...

Remember content is king!

i have adsense in my site as well, but it really takes a very long time to reach the minimum amount required by the program. a substantial number of visitors come daily to my site for the information/content they require, but it is not a very good gauge of success with adsense. i rarely get double digit clicks on a day-to-day basis, mostly just 1 or 2 or 3 clicks a day. and since google ads pay differently with each click, it's hard to even make a projection of how much you can earn a month. my adsense has been up for 3 months already, and sadly, i can't even tell when i will be able to reach their minimum for payout.

clicking on your own ads is a big NO-NO for google. so if you get adsense on your site, don't even think about clicking them even if you just want to test your code. google will know, and before you even can say OOOPPS!, your adsense account will already be suspended/revoked (and all earnings lost if you have started earning already).

will report in here if and when i get paid by adsense.

Humm, Google adsense it 1 of the only products / services from google that I dont really like, they dont pay to paypal either :|
