If you have a lot of uniques but not necessarily commercial traffic, such as in your case political content, then you can just sell adspace directly. For example, your traffic won't be good for the average Adsense advertiser, but it could be very good for certain niche advertisers since your visitors might fit some key demographics. You can get traffic and demographic data from Google Analytics and put it onto an 'Advertise with Us' page on your blog. You could put up some empty banners saying 'Your ad here' and link it to that info page.
This kind of content in general probably won't make you rich, since a lot of advertisers won't go near it, but there are other ways to leverage it. Email lists and brand identity will help with what you decide later on. Publishing your own books such as Roosh is just one.
That's a good analysis. Some stats would be nice. For instance, do you think I could make 1500 a month with 160k page views a month? That's around a 5$ rpm I believe.
Another question is, how come ROK doesn't make that much money with its traffic. At over 4 millions pageviews, I can't believe nobody wants to advertise there. I saw David Deangelo advertise on Thought Catalog recently, selling his stuff on how to pick up women on a woman dominated website... these guys could be contacted and make better money with ROK.
