And for Ads, you could start with google adsense or whatever they call it these days, and wait until they cut you off. Maybe they won’t. I guess it depends how much you want to anger them.
Please do not submit your members to any Google API scripts... We don’t use any 3rd party scripts on our free speech community. You are either in it for the cause... Or in it for the money. It is hard to do both and still respect the privacy of your members. We are in it for the cause. The FR does a pretty good job of this. Wish it wasn’t hooked to Google though.
I would suggest that you do what any other small business does, make proposals to your local conservative businesses and just post their random rotating static banner ads in one spot as your site “Supporters”. It only costs about $100 a year for hosting, and that is why we are just in it for the cause as a priority.
It is more important than all the money in the world to us... :)
