I think I`m right in saying that there are certian payments made to a lensowner for specific sales like say Amazon, but I could be wrong. Roo might be able to clarify that point.

the figures given are the amount paid out per lens based entirely on it's ranking (whether this is the highest it achieved, what it was on a set date, or averaged over the month is a closely guarded secret). This 'revenue' sharing is entirely from the adsense revenue earned across squidoo, not on an individual lenses adsense earnings.
By using 'money making' modules you can earn additional revenue which is credited to the lens, such as amazon, ebay and cafepress, to name but a few available, the total commission paid is then 'shared' with squidoo and you are credited with the rest. The only affiliate that squidoo provides uptodate earnings info is amazon, the rest you aren't likely to see details for on dashboard or stats until it is paid. The split is about 50%, can't remember the exact breakdown, but it's something like for every $1.05 in commission earned, 5cents goes direct to the charity fund, and squidoo and lensmaster get 50cents each.
Though using squidoo modules is nice and simple, any slightly experienced affiliate marketer can create links to their own products to earn 100% of the commission.
