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

By far the best program on Commission Junction is eBay. You send visitors to ebay and get paid for whatever they buy or if they create a new account you get $25. I make waay more from ebay than I do from adsense. For example I am running both adsense and ebay through ZinText on my forum archives and I do 3x more with ebay.
