I'd recommend testing out some geo targeted plug campaigns on
http://www.plugrush.com
You'll quickly see results.
You create a campaign where you setup your own thumbs, title, and link, and it can be displayed on thousands of sites. It's high quality traffic, and it's affordable.
Or since I now see you run an affiliate site, you should use plugrush, create a widget, place it on your site, and trade traffic with other sites in the same niche.
