How to get advertisers for my website?

[ibb]

Hello!

My website's traffic 'boomed' the last few months and I'd like to monetize that. The question is how? I know I should contact related companies etc., but how do I get their sponsorship? Also, can I ask for an upfront payment? Like they pay me for the month/week before their ad goes live?

These are my website stats for November:
- 13+ million unique visitors /month
- 21+ million page views / month
- 2.2+ million RSS subscribers
- 2+ million followers and fans on Twitter and Facebook
- Male: 64.6% Male
- Affluent: 33.9% HHI of $100K+ per year
- Passionate: 70% of readers identify tech as a personal passion
- Mobile: 70% more likely to read tech news daily on their mobile device
- Engaged: Nearly 50% more likely to share links on social sites

Since I'm a newbie and have never expected these numbers, every help will be appreciated.
The website is TechCrunch.com

I could better answer this question if you can tell me the web address to your site.

Use affiliate programs like Amazon, Hostgator, and anything that pays A LOT of commission. You can get $3500 in one month with Hostgator. At least...especially with your traffic!
