It is possible to use any ads on my games made with Uniy Basic (or make it as pay application in Play Store)?
Yes. Check the Unity Asset store, there are several free and paid tools you can use to add advertisement to your game. You can also create your own subsystem that handles this.
Also it is perfectly legal.

I am developing an Augmented Reality app to be integrated into a website using Unity.I need to take output in WebGL. I am using Vuforia to create AR experience. Since Vuforia is not supported with WebGL, i am not able to build. Please suggest an alternate method or how to do Augmented reality in Unity for Web. Is there any alternative to Vuforia?
The good news is yes, you definitely can build an AR experience on the web!
The bad news is that none of the current libraries built for doing so offer a Unity plugin.. Meaning you'll either have to create a wrapper, do some complicated RPC call to talk to the JS library via Unity, or completely scrap Unity altogether and use only the library. To my knowledge, the best browser-based AR library is AR.js. I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I hope you're able to achieve your goals. Good luck!
This is probably a bit late in the thread. But I'd like to add an option which might help. You can definitely build your AR app in web using WebGL as output. There is easy way to integrate it with a webiste too. SLAM based AR like Google ARCore is a great example to do it.
There are two options:
You can build such an app from scratch which will obviously take more time. Because apart from development, setting up hosting infrastructure is a challenge.
Otherwise, if you want to scale such AR web app development with low or no code and cloud ready hosting, you can use a SaaS platform called Marvin XR.

Knowing than a game as a UWP app can already run on the XBOX One, do I need to compile my game linking to the XBOX LIVE SDK if I want to publish my game through the Creators program?
I'm not going to implement leaderboards,
I'm not going to implement any social link,
I'm not going to implement any networking at all.
All I'm going to implement is some serious kicks in a local fighting
game, using the best technology there is for gaming: DirectX 11.
Any information is greatly appreciated!!!
Yes, you do need to add Xbox Live to your game to publish it through the Xbox Live Creators Program. Full details are captured on the table here.
I'm wondering what options do I have to merge a 2D game into WinRT app that's already developed. I've developed couple of games in Unity3D but not sure if they can be played as a part of WinRT app (launch on button click).
I've heard Microsoft provide XNA framework for game development. Would that be of any help in my case? The requirement is to launch game on button click and get back to app on back button click.
Please let me know if there's better approach/tool available.
Firstly you say you want to merge a game with a WinRT app - Do you mean you want to put a game inside another application, so perhaps have an app as a launch pad for you game? If you want to target WinRT with Unity I just looked at the platforms that Unity targets and Universal Windows Platform is listed there. You could write the application part in Unity couldn't you ? So that the app is just the first scene that you see. That might seem strange, but if you had to use unity and the app was just a small application with not too many requirements you could do it that way.
Xna has been discontinued. You should use other frameworks.
If you want to write it from scratch I would suggest that you write it as WinRT application (Universal Windows Platform) so that you can define the application UI in Xaml and write the game with a dedicated graphics/game api such as SharpDX http://sharpdx.org/ (which is a wrapper around DirectX) or perhaps even better, take a look at Win2D http://microsoft.github.io/Win2D/html/Introduction.htm which is a very impressive 2d graphics api.
In practice, both SharpDX and Win2D would target one of the Xaml controls that give you access to a swap-chain (eg SwapChainPanel, SwapChainBackgroundPanel, CanvasControl etc). These Xaml controls are integrated into the Xaml UI and can simply pop up when you need them and viola, your game is running.
Since it was a 2D game that I wanted to integrate with my WinRT app, I decided to go with Scirra Contstruct 2, designed specifically for 2D games. It exported the project as website which I hosted on my server and used a WebView within my app to load the game. Not only the performance is good, but, as a bi-product, it made the game cross platform.
I am making a augmented reality games and i used the vuforia sdk.
Here is my problem:
Can I use the augmented reality of vuforia and upload it in App Store and playstore?
The vuforia developer website has a section on publishing applications for both the app store and google play:

You should carefully read and conform to the legal considerations and logo guidelines (see subsections). If you are still not sure about some specific elements for publishing your app, there is also an active forum where you can ask more precise questions:
https://developer.vuforia.com/forum
You can see some of example of published apps with Vuforia here:
https://developer.vuforia.com/resources/dev-guide/best-breed-examples
Yeah it is possible because with unity you can publish to Android, iOS, uwp.......If you want to publish to iOS make sure you are using Mac with XCode and in Unity->Player settings ->Other settings you will be required to add a message that user will see requesting the permission to use his device camera.
What ad networks are available to iPhone developers who want to distribute free regular apps (not web applets) that are ad supported?
Prompted by this story on crappy app making $200/hr.
Here's one:
Pinch Media
I'm making this Community Wiki so anyone can add to this list.
I've seen a Tower Defense game (TapDefense) that makes the user click a link to a paid app in order to save the game. It uses AdMob as its ad distributor.
The Deck prides itself on being a very "high quality" advertising network. I've seen them on a few iPhone apps, but they're apparently picky about who they will allow to run their ads.
