media buys for games (5)

I'm looking for recommendations for good traffic sources for desktop/browser type games. I'm with bonadza so far, but would like to diversify. 1-2 more traffic sources would be fantastic.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Also wondering regarding this. Thanks for Recommending Bonzada.
Anything similar you guys can tip about?

Game Advertising Online (GAO) are a large network but I'm unsure of their minimums, level of management, etc. as they have never responded to my contact form submits - http://www.game-advertising-online.com/

There are a few boutique sources e.g. Epic Game Ads but I can't say I've ever liked or had any success from them (really crappy systems).

BuySellAds is a decent source to hit up as well.

Some larger sites might also run mainly internally and may have advertise with us links on their sites (e.g. curse.com).

In the end it's more about finding placements that are worthwhile (follow the demographic) and then finding what network you need to go through to get them - e.g. by browsing gaming sites and spying. With the desktop medium there aren't many native-type ads, just banners, site skins, pops, videos, etc. and their delivery is pretty straightforward.
