Page Impressions - This number tells you how much times your page has been viewed. An impression is successful when a user visiting you site loads the whole page without problems.

CTR - This stands for Click Through Rate and tells you the percentage of clicks you get for each visit. You can use it to tell how many users are finding the ads useful and how often they click. All users of Adsense aim to keep this percentage high as this is one of the main factors that affect how much you earn through clicks.
eCPM - This stands for estimated Cost per thousand Impression and gives a rough estimate on how much you will earn for every thousand impressions. You can use it to compare which pages are performing best giving you an indicator of what to focus on repeating. The higher you get the number the better your earnings will be.
Queries - This shows how many people have used google search through your site. You will get earnings based on the click through rate of your searches.

You would get paid per click and some commission for every sign up. The exact revenue share was never revealed but it depended on many factors, including the content and quality of the referee.
Channels - Channels are set up to track how well the ads are performing. You can set up a channel for one particular ad or for one whole page and track it on an individual basis. You can test out different ads and track how they perform, helping you to place the right type of ad in the best suitable place.
Account Access - This refers to websites that have permission to manage your adsense account. You can use this feature if you share revenue with another adsense website for whatever reason.

Publisher ID - This referes to the unique number assigned to an adsense user. Every account hold has one and it is embedded in all of your ads. This number is used to track which user should get the revenue for the ad displayed. You will never find a user with the same ID and never give yours out.
