I received only one e-mail of a high yield service asking to advertise in it. I didn't accept, as I don't think those services are any good for the community and it could harm my website reputation.
I also expected that betting companies would like to advertise on the giveaway manager, but I received no offers so far!
I hope you don't take as an offense but instead only as a suggestion, but would you consider approaching the services instead of waiting for an offer? I see it as a freelancer - whenever anyone starts doing freelancer he/she can't just wait for the clients to appear but instead has to give everything that he/she can to be seen, either from sending mass CV's per e-mail, scheduling meetings with potential clients, amongst other similar actions. I am in no way saying that you aren't well regarded in the community - who am I to say that? - but as everything in life that is starting out, sometimes we have to make ourselves be seen.
I see your website as a resemblance to this scenario. My suggestion is for you to approach a company that you see fit and inquiry if the service wouldn't be interested in trying out advertising in your website for 1/2 weeks for free of charge. The worst you can do is that you won't have any kind of revenue during that time, other than that I don't see how you can incur in extra costs for making that. After that initial period you can ask the service if the company saw any advantage in having their banner in your page and then you can discuss things further.
Will you give 1/2 weeks as free exposure? For sure. Will it pay off? Who knows? At least you tried and explored that possibility. And if that service doesn't accept being there, move on to the next one until you've made contact with a few of them. Who knows what will happen?
As a final note, and for the sake of transparency, I think it's always interesting to see the statistics of the website as an outside service/company. It is something that will always be asked and you can already provide it even before the initial discussions

Thank you for pointing this out. Just fixed!
Thank you for the quick fix! Everything is working as intended now.
