What Type Of Internet Forums Do People Like?

Hi,
I am currently in the process of deciding which topic niche I should build my forum about. I am looking at it from a purely profit angle you see.
I know that the latest media stories attracts loads of attention but how does that become sales?
I am currently selling prescription drugs and write articles on them.
Can advertising alone support a forum's expensives?
I have a Google Adwords account.
What I need to know is whether traffic is what drives sales or whether small traffic but good advice can sell and create a trustworthy brand?
I am aware that in my niche there are not many people who will discuss their buying habits but on the other hand, they are buyers and they want to come to a forum that offers them great advice and leads them to a happy purchase.
I just simply do not know if a forum for purchasers will ever make me the profits I want.
Can anyone advise me please?
