I replied on this thread some time ago recommending http://www.app-bucks.com/ for out of app ads, but my recent experience compels me to withdraw that recommendation. eCPM figures continue to decline and even their representative told me that it isn't going to get any better. Too bad, I had high hopes for these guys!
I think that interstitial ads are the way to go these days, and with a bit of creativity you can incorporate them into an app such as yours, certainly to have to click past an interstitial every time the keyboard opens would be excessively annoying but you could keep track of the last time you displayed an ad and only display 2 or 3 a day, or use a random number generator to make the ad display at any frequency you choose!
