It is a new project or ICO that is going to spread their token to community for free, what they do is that they will request for your wallet address then they will send you the token for free, some of them will be on exchanges and people who got the token can sell it there and that is how some gets the profit from Airdrops.

Basically free tokens given to others. You might need a certain coin to obtain it though.

"got numbers of tokens from it" : What is the average of tokens you can get from an airdrop campaign ?
Do they always and only revert ETH ?
Is it mandatory to get MEW to collect these tokens or blockchain.info is also usable ?

 Airdrop is  a new project or ICO that is going to spread their token to the public for free. In airdrop you have to fill a from and follow the instruction to get free coin like follow their twitter and telegram,some time you have retweet their pinned tweet and follow facebook. Also in some airdrops you have to post the airdrop form to your twitter timeline to get free tokens.

It only happens when there's a new project created in cryptocurrency world. They creat announcements in all Bitcoin forum including this forum of course. Then the said project create a form to be filled up by all people who want to participate in their airdrop. In this form, basically, they needed the email, wallet address, twitter link, bitcointalk username and also they're going to ask the user to join the telegram.After all of this, you only have to do is to wait for the day that they will give the airdrop and received it to the wallet you submitted.

A​ ​crypto airdrop​ ​is​ ​when​ ​a​ ​blockchain project distribute​s free​ ​tokens or​ ​coins to​ ​the​ crypto ​community.To​ ​be​ ​a​ ​recipient​ ​of​ ​an​ crypto ​airdrop often​ ​the​ ​only​ ​requirement​ ​is​ ​that​ ​you​ ​have​ ​coins from the relevant blockchain stored​ ​in​ ​your​ ​wallet. Examples of this format of airdrops are Byteball, Stellar lumens and OmiseGo. Other crypto airdrops require social media posts or you need to contact a member of the team on the Bitcointalk forum. These projects use an airdrop as a marketing campaign. Every airdrop has a different set of rules.

Usually you get equivalent of your stakes. So basically every person who enters an airdrop gets his own stakes. People who organize an airdrop simply put some amount of tokens and that amount is fixed. At the end those people just sum all these stakes and devide the tokens/coins. WHich means less people to enter, more you will get.

There are many ICOs that have their own airdrops, but this doesn't have to be the case. Some ICOs have their tokens on other platforms such as waves and neo, although many are using ethereum for this. Above when some another crypto currency lunches or they want to gain exposure they organize an airdrop - not all of them are token related.

MEW is easierst solution but it is not the most secure one. Blockchain.info support ethereum but doesn't support ethereum smart contracts, at least till now, which emans you can receive your tokens on that address but will be unable to spend them and you won't see it in your blockchain.info wallet but you will have to use some tools such as http://etherscan.io/. Although you can spend the coins later on by extracting private key from blockchain.info wallet and importing them into another wallet/software such as MEW or any other that can do the job for you.
