SocialSpark also has an Ad Network you can use on your blog, which actually helps you get more sponsorship opportunities. You can get details at the link above.
I didn't mention this in the post, but I shared a tip on Facebook the other day about working with Brands and Sponsors through these networks:
"When a certain offer is converting really well for you through a network, go straight to the merchant and request opportunities to work with them long-term."
I just did this last week myself. In that case it was a CPA Network (Escalate, which I also mentioned in the post above). I was promoting an offer that was converting at over 50% and that my readers *loved*. So I contacted the merchant directly.
And guess what? They DO want to work with me when the campaign ends through the network! :-)
It's those little things that can really give you an edge...
Be sure to check out the post, which includes a fun little disclosure:

I look forward to hearing your thoughts. It's been working out *really* well for me over the last year!
Best,

p.s. In last week's email I also mentioned the Ultimate Heatmap: http://www.clicknewz.com/3291/heat-map-and-color-psychology/ If you haven't seen it already, I highly recommend you read Michael Campbell's comment on that post. Brilliant stuff!!
