Thinking about Text Link Advertising, or even Banner space. Where should I start?

Hey all,

So I have bunch of websites.. They're fun, enjoyable and people seem to like them.

NOW... so far... my traffic is around 10k unique hits per page (with some doing better than others).. I have 5 pages...

I have over 1000 members of the page at this point.. all free members... every site shares the same member database.

I need to monetize the site because it's costing me $150 a month to host it... not to mention all the other costs that go into creating a website that i'm sure you've all experienced.

I've tried banners... getting clicks but no conversions.. Basically the banners are for the photography studios that i've paired up and affiliated with in order to use their images..

I was thinking a next step might be to sell advertising space either in banner form.. or in text link form. I've already had two people email me who "represent a porn industry leader" asking what my price would be for a text link for a year. I talked to them briefly, and then never heard back.

If i wanted to get into selling text links, advertising space, etc.. What would be a good first step? Should I get a broker to do it for me for a commission? Are there websites I can become apart of where other websites go to buy advertising space? They key here is that I want to get away from the CPA stuff because it's just not working for me, I guess i just dont have the level of traffic that actually makes it work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you'd like to take a look at my site to give better advice... here are the links

www.HotBodyBattles.com - main site (non-nude hot girls, multiple categories)
www.AssBattles.com - ASS
www.TittyBattles.com - TITS
www.MuffBattles.com - Pussy
www.StudBattles.com - non nude hot guys

Maybe you can think of another way to monetize that would be even better? I've been pondering it for months and cant come up with much because i'm new to the industry and "making money with websites" game.

thanks so much
