One thought regarding monetization:

I assume you're loading ads via JavaScript or something. (I didn't check.) I too saw the notice regarding blocked ads.

It will be a cold day in hell before I disable my ad-blocker, but you can easily manually insert affiliate links as well.

If you sign up for the Amazon affiliate program (which I assume you did), just navigate to the item you're trying to sell, click the "get link" button (or whatever) that Amazon provides for you, and you'll get a nice, shortened affiliate link.

In my opinion, that is a really clean way to do things - you can just create a plain-old HTML list of affiliate links. That gives you a mechanism for monetizing your site, and doesn't require me to disable my ad blocker to support you. Win/win! :)
