One problem that I've been having is getting traffic to my blogs. Someone alerted me to some blog posts that might have a solution to the traffic problem I'm facing, so I wanted to go over the ways that this blog suggested to get traffic.
Notes on cheap targeted traffic: buying traffic from other websites. Caveat: use Google’s Ad planner (or Quantcast.com) to get some demographic data on a site before deciding to advertise.
Buysellads.com - Large inventory of sites to place your ads. Pay attention to what banner ads are showing up on the sites as a starting point for making your own.
BlogAds - a network of over 3,000 influential blogs connects advertisers with readers and the social media elite. Interesting that they mention social media in their outreach.

Advertise Space - Gives publishers the power to set rates and reject any ad creative that is not appropriate for their site. Site has an unfinished feel to it, so I think they are just starting out.

Some examples include:
