Put Google adverts in the unused area to the left. Make this a configuration option if you are a financial member.
I run a Debian focussed website which has just over 2100 members.
One of the only benefits to joining the site is that you can choose to disable adverts upon article pages.
Right now I have around 80 members choosing to view the adverts despite being logged in. That is a pretty tiny percentage ..
I'd suspect that this is typical, and that offering subscribers the ability to turn on adverts isn't going to buy you much.
However adding more adverts and saying "If you subscribe you'll see none" might be a good approach.
