hey,
a friend who is proffesional game reviewer for few big game portals, opened site (with my advice) with reviews of indie games, it's a small site hardly to call it side project, it's more like a hobby.
site is rough, i've bought domain for my friend as a bday gift, installed WP, added random theme and told he "now go write smth, always pay to have own site" and so it's started..
site opened in january 2014 is getting around 600 uniques daily now, traffic is from google and from signature links from reviews on big game portals.
he is reviewing small indie games, adding screenshots, gameplay movies, trailers and writing everything by hand.
we decided it's not a bad time to monetize it a bit. my friend wanna sell 1-5 spots for monhly or annual banners now the question is where to look for buyers, how much charge for it?
any advice?
here the site:

if you guys can recommend soem better theme (ye i know, most would be better :D) i would appreciate. banner we would like to sell would be located on the sidebar.
