For my In Direct advertising, I have decided to research into indie gaming blogs and websites in which these sites could promote my game and give a short review of it.
For example, This site IndieGames.com would be ideal for promoting my game as they have lots of space for advertisement and I can tell from the adverts that this website is not a hugely big budget website. The website also offers lots of properties which would be really effective for promoting my game such as a top posts and latest features articles in which the majority of the website users would typically read, as well as an interviews section where I could be interviewed by the writers of the website which lets me connect with the audience and tell them exactly what they want to hear and finally forums where groups of people van share information and talk about the game.

A website I feel would be to high budget for my game would be Eurogamer as it is a much more popular gaming website promoting high budget blockbuster games such as Call Of Duty and Rockstar games, the advertisements being promoted now is the new Assassins Creed Game Black Flag. This website would be completely out of my budget to advertise my game.
