google won't let me run Adsense, due to the fact that the topic of my site is firearms related. What are some other avenues I can follow to monetize the site? Are affiliate programs like Commission Junction worth the trouble? Any advice would be appreciated. Eric

Eric, from your current site stats, you should run your own software to advertise. Adsense is a very poor income producer and that comes from many experienced marketeers. If you want to learn new money making tips, hang on shoemoney's or John Chow's websites... they will teach you many great things.

While you read new things, install OpenAds. It is capable of serving billions of ads per month. The performance is dependent on CPU power, amount of RAM and disk speed of server you currently have.
