How much would I get paid, if a company got a customer, but through my website

[dzug2]

Whatever you agreed with them in advance - otherwise zilch

[factor-fiction]

If you haven't agreed anything then you should expect nothing. In other words, I agree with dzug2

[morvenG]

but what would be the avrage amont?

[factor-fiction]

Nothing, unless you have agreed something. If you have agreed something it will be what you agreed

[dzug2]

Anything from a fraction of a penny to thousands of pounds. It really is an unanswerable question in the form it's been asked.

As someone who has dabbled with my own websites, I would say there are basically 2 ways to generate revenue from your site:

1) Affiliate marketing - you place ads for a company on your site, a visitor clicks on it and then buys a product off advertisers website. You will get a percentage of the sale price, generally no more than 5%, but can be as much as 30% or 40%. Or sometimes you may recieve a fixed amount.
Personally I was very lucky to get a click and never got any commision at all this way!

2) Google Adsense - you place Google generated ads on your site, somebody clicks on them and you recieve a set amount based on whatever the advertiser is willing to pay per click/per page view.
I managed to make enough this way to make the websites pay for themselves and make a very small profit.

You will never make a huge amount from online adverts unless you come up with a very popular national/international website!

Website advertising, unless you're VERY clever, is a complete waste of time. Ads increase the size of the web page being streamed to your browser, albeit by very little, but everyone at some point has encountered the problem of a web page failing to load completely because it's still trying to stream the adverts' content.

Nobody wants this, so they install an ad blocker thereby rendering all that work you put into creating your ad completely useless.

I did my affiliate advertising through Commission Junction (http://uk.cj.com/) and had ads from big UK names like Argos, Moneysupermarket, M+S, etc on my website and they only pay small %ages, although smaller up and coming companies will pay more.
The link provided by adamdredge is blatant advertising for dodgy get rich schemes and is to be avoided!
