Where can I find people?

Where can I find people that want to advertise on my site, because the sites I have seen aren't very good, and I would rather deal directly with advertisers?

Sorry if this is against the rules, just curious how to cut out the middle man

Go where advertisers are at.. If you have no clue where there at
then type your question into Google.. i saw a laundry list of results

Your content and traffic is going to play a role in people being
interested or not

I've looked around a bit, but I couldn't find anyone who was interested. I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone knew anyone or was looking to get their ads out there

If you want to cancel out the middle man and only deal with the people
who want your ad space, then your going to have to think outside the box.
There is no absolute one route blueprint to finding advertisers.
And its going to require even more work.. You basically have to advertise
your ad space to people directly or you can use networks were
publishers and advertisers come together and make it easier..
