Nelly, my suggestion would be to not focus energy on acquiring advertisers -- but acquiring visitors for you own site.

Once your user base gets large, the advertisers will find you

Work to make you site the authority in your topic. Then when an advertiser is looking for sites in that topic to place ads on, they'll find you through the search engines (since you'll be an authority site, you'll rank nicely).

Just my 2 cents.

yeah follow hotstream...

as your site becomes affiliated with certain issues, then those are the people who will visit your site, and from there you have the advertisers interested. Until then there's no bargining position for you.

cheers
