today i would not do one of the 2 things because i have learned that trafficmarketing have serveral ways to make money on but you have to know how.
believe me i am able to make money with gay products on straight sites the only thing i need is a mass of users. and you will never be able to generate masses.
when you are strictly looking for traffic of a niche you miss all the other preferences.
that is the same as you would state that a user from a weather site canīt be interessted in porn or cars or whatever.
sure you will have a much better CVR but from what ?
you might have 100 users and make one sale. i might have 1 million users and make 1000 sales with very different products.
if your niche is burned out you can delete all your hard build pages - i only switch in one second to another product.
have you ever seen that in a TV-commecial break of a science fiction they sell only star wars masks? porn is a magnet for millions and millions of people with ALL KIND of consumption.
and YES especially in the past few days i had a look into some stats of so called affiliate webmasters and i was crying when i saw what they make with their websites.
when i look in the stats of some of my publishers who just focus on making traffic and see 5 and 6 digit payouts every month and they do not even spend a minute in investigation what sells and what not, I ask you what YOU understand from a good affiliate income.
believe me - you do not have to explain me how internet works - i am 20 years in that biz and i always made good money. but i did not make it with concepts what are definately and logicly dead. i made it always with a far view into tomorrow.

from what you've wrote in this thread, I truly believe you have a mountain of knowledge from the past to the now. Which is very benefecial to notice the changes, but also with Advertising as well as you say.
I recommend others take our advice here as well. Seriously "get" to know them and how they distribute their traffic...if they start blockin you, tell them you'll quit advertising then.. sometimes works...sometimes doesnt.... but basic sense here : never go for what programs that their initially pushing...their trying to get their top dollar off you....and making u look like a fool in the process....sending you junk traffic. Be legit, be straitup , and question EVERY single visitor if things don't look right. Find the section where u can block / restrict certain types of ads...make sure their very thorough, if not....leave the place. keep asking questions when u don't understand something fully as well.
