Default Making Money on a Gaming site?

Hi,
Please move this thread if its in the wrong place!

Anyway, here goes. I am the lead designer at a very popular online entertainment site, www.clubskill.com. We get hundreds of thousands of page views each month, and have a steady flow of around 20,000 unique visitors per month. We have very good relationships with major gaming companies such as Sega and and DigitalJesters who regularly provide us with 'freebies'. We've recently been working on a new website design which allows for more usability, flexibility and advertising. We have been, in the past, a completly non-profit organisation but I was hoping we can start to steer into the direction of profit, so that the staff and the contributors can all get a bit of cash into their pockets for all the hard work they put in. What Im really trying to get at is what sort of things should I try to implement that would get us money. For example, we have a bit of space for advertisements...where should I look for them? (e.g. I dont want Adsense etc because a) Everyone has them/seen them b) They dont look professional on a gaming site! )

We're really trying to go up in the world, and to do so we need income.

Any ideas?
