One thing to try is providing unique, high-value content with properly placed ads that are relevant to the topic being discussed.

Try all of them... Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Adbrite. See which one works the best. It doesn't become economical to sell the ads yourself until you get bigger, at which point it is much better to sell the ads yourself.
