Earnings From Rake Back Program Question

[WarmApplePie]

I'm a relative newbie to online poker and was wondering about the typical rakeback % earned and if it would even be worth it to join for someone like me who plays 1/2 and multitables .5/1 about 1k hands per week. Any advice on picking programs as well would be helpful. Thanks.

With a 27% rakeback on Empire (advertised in the Classifieds section) you can expect to receive on average $0.01098 per hand when playing $0.5/1.
