It is very important to know what the payouts are so that you can adjust your game to make the money. Typically in a 10 person SNG the payout is 50% for 1st, 30% for 2nd and 20% for third. In a 5 person SNG, I've seen 70% go to 1st and 30% go to 2nd place. Each site has different payouts.
Typically you would see a rake of approximately 10%, that goes to the site, some tournies are higher.
Turbo tournies have blinds that go up quickly (every 4-5 minutes) and are very fun and addictive.
Satellites are tournaments, where the winner(s) get an entry into a tournament (that costs much more money). WSOP entries are generally won by playing sattellite tournament(s).
