I think they are only worth doing if you've had or are expecting a large volume of downloads, otherwise stick with normal paid sales..
for example yesterday: (just checking in itunes connect)
I only had 40 downloads of the free iad version, (so the following figures are from those sales plus anyone else who has previously downloaded it and decided to play it...)
My game requested for advert 3254 times (there's an iad on each level)
It only showed 525 adverts (A fill rate of 16.2%)
it had 1.52% of 525 , click through rate (people actually clicking the ads)
and I made $2.91
You get some revenue for ads shown like 0.01% of cent. and much more for a click from like $0.5 to $2.00 (roughly)

I updated it after having all the downloads and added iads...
I made around $600
(downloads now at about 300 a day).... and the revenue has plummeted... but still getting more than when the game was paid...
