How much do spammers make? the ones who advertise links?

I see people who send out links all the time, getting you to click their links, they spam twitter and facebook. Their goal is for you to click their link. Once you click their link how much do they make? how much do they make per click?

It really depends, but someone who knows internet marketing, white hat (accepted business practices) or black hat (spammers) you have a click-through rate and a conversion rate.

Average:

CTR - 10% - 15%
CR - 0.5% - 1.5%

I would say spammers get below average numbers because you get average numbers and better by knowing who your audience is and how best to reach them.
