Seriously, if you have that much traffic, just use adsense.

And kill your downloadable product - it serves no purpose business-wise except to tempt you to take steps that will reduce your traffic and by extension your ad revenues.

We've tried using Adsense and the payout is really bad. I can't post specific's but selling one calculator a day is a lot more revenue that any adsense we've seen.

I'm thinking that the word "calculator" may be too generic for adsense and so we are SOL in seeing that as a revenue stream...
