Blogvertising
If you're in the market for a powerful and user friendly Help Desk solution, please take a look at my company's flagship product HelpSpot.Since my last question received so many wonderful responses I thought I'd try another!
I want to do a small advertising campaign across a mix of blogs so I'm looking for ideas of blogs you know that may fit the bill. Obviously the blog must have advertising slots already. It should be IT or business related. It should have decent traffic, but it doesn't have to be huge. I think a good qualifier for this is that most of the posts have at least a few comments. I am not interested in using adsense to do this via the 'place an ad on this site' link. I tried a few of those and they just don't work. Ideally I'd like to have the ad directly placed or via a better network than adsense. Image and/or text ads are fine.
So if you know of any blogs where you think a HelpSpot ad would make sense and the owner would be interested post a link. Thanks!

Are there any sites on http://www.text-link-ads.com/ or http://www.adbrite.com/ that might be targeted towards your target market?

Check out my friend's website http://www.adesdesign.net
The site gets 1,500-2,500 unique daily visitors and over 80,000 unique visitors per month. It has a PageRank of 7.
You can find out more about the advertising here http://www.adesdesign.net/php/advertise.php
I think his rates are quite reasonable.
good luck.

There were a few on text-link-ads that looked OK I might give them a run. I haven't checked out adbrite in a while thanks for the reminder. Have you guys used either service?
Thanks NZ, but I'm not sure ads next to website templates make a lot of sense for me. The rates do seem reasonable though.
