Check out Salon (http://www.salon.com/) for a good model, actually. You can either subscribe for ad-free access, or you can view a single advertisement to get a cookie that lets you access the site unhindered for one day. You can still browse headlines and the first paragraph or so of articles even without the cookie.
Alternately, Sluggy Freelance (http://www.sluggy.com/) (and probably the other Plan 9 (http://www.plan9.org/) stuff) uses a simpler system, where either you view the site with ads on every page, or you pay to view the site without ads.
The more general key, I think, is to occasionally threaten to shut the publication down if people don't send you cash. ;D
