>So, I'm selling a watch on WatchUSeek, I visit your site, pay $20 to get listed in the featured row on the watches category for a week.

>I'm still scratching my head on the gun section though since it's very poplar but I can't run AdSense in that category

Popular gun forums are on the same boat and that's why their side-bars are filled with advertisers/affiliates/sponsors. Just contact those with your numbers on the sub-section, i'm sure you'll sell out quickly.

Your website has a lot of potential for targeted advertising.

Yup, you're right. Featured + advertisers found on gun forums should solve it.

Time for me to think/ask an advertiser about what he wants (i.e. ability to login and see impression/click counts, etc.) and what the CPM rate(s) should be.

I appreciate the time you took to think through that.

The problem is often that we can't guarantee the stats like google does. (for clicks) That's why i either sell a guaranteed minimum impressions per month or a flat CPM rate.

Still track the impressions and clicks, but only as a indicator or email them reports to save the hassle of managing credentials.
