While I won't post your Alexa or Technorati rankings here, they're not bad - getting better now that you're back to posting more regularly, and you have a respectable audience. Contact relevant businesses and sell ads directly. We've started doing that at <a href="http://www.transpacificradio.com/" rel="nofollow">TPR</a> after putting off monetizing for a long time. We have a very limited number of PBS/NPR-style "supporters," which keeps the site looking clean by limiting the number of ads and allowing us to control exactly what they look like and allows to make each ad more worthwhile. I guess it's possible to make a decent chunk of change through Google Ads or AdSense, but that often entails making your site look like crap and having to live with the fact that it's your site, but you're getting only a negligible fraction of the money being generated through advertizing on your site, which sucks. Shoot me an e-mail if you want specifics. Take matters into your own hands, Rich.
