How much per click do I get on Adsense?

You are assuming what many people assume. That if you create a site
with a so-called "high" CPC, you will get it. That's is pure fantasy.

Let's take that $55 click. That's for search. The content network is probably
no more than $20 tops. But that's for old, authoritative, established sites who
have proven to be winners with traffic. For new sites, no track record, you get
the leftovers. Probably topping out at those who are bid $5 or below. Even
they might not be bidding on your site. And that would be the highest. Chances
are, people are bidding $2 or less. 68% of that is what you are getting.

So the $55 CPC dream causes people to accuse google of ripping them off.

You have to build a good rep. You get that by the people who click and
take action. Not just mindless clickers. Over time, if you improve, the CPC
will go up. But it will never reach $55.

Less than a buck a click is average for most people.

Your site gets a QS just like adwords users. You can go up, but you
can also be smart priced. Google wants adwords users to get a good ROI.
