You can find out how to do all that by going to the appropriate website - admob, quattro etc. They all have good instructions on that.
I can only really speak about AdMob because I havent used the others much. There, you get paid per click but each click is not necessarily worth the same amount. Location, for example, plays a major part. A click in China might only bring you 1 cent, but in europe perhaps 10 cents. I think it also depends on supply and demand of the ads themselves. Typically, a developer might be getting something like 1USD per thousand ads displayed. Again, they're are not paid for displaying ads, its just that it usually works out about that amount (from my personal experience and having read the experience of others). The range would be something like 0.20USD to 5.00USD (per 1000 ads displayed). And then there is the "fill rate" which is the percentage of times your app requests an ad and it is successfully displayed. I've had fill rates from 10% to 99% but have heard some people talking about 1%. This seems to fluctuate all the time and obviously has a massive impact on your revenue. I was getting about 90% over the chrismas period but now its down to about 30%. I guess there is less advertising out there. But suppose that 50% is normal, then that means you need to halve the figures above. i.e. about 0.50USD per 1000 ads requested. Note, you can just refresh the ads more often to improve your revenue. AdMob will prioritise serving ads to publishers they expect to get a better return from. Its not uncommon that an app using AdMob will be showing no advert most of the time, and this is because AdMob believe their ads are better off being displayed elsewhere.
