Revenue model for my forum?

Hi,
I have a VBulletin forum which is online for quiet a long time now but has never generated any income.The forum doesn't has any ads of any type .It has approximately 8000 members and around 500,000 posts.It averages around 30000 page-views a month and with the proper search engine friendly coding I think we could do around 400000 views a month as well as increase our membership. I don't know if it matters but we already rank #1 in Google for a few main search phrases.What are some reasonable revenue possibilities to generate some good income.

you can sell your banner ad space for any company or new web site.
or adsense .

I think adsense is the best .

I agree, adsense is best for start.

Forums have low CTR and you won't earn much, but few bucks per month is better than nothing.
