Best wat to market ecommerce directory

i run a shopping directory

i purposely built it with no affiliate links - the only adverts are google ads - i plan to make money directly through selling advertising and not by blasting ads at visitors

im ready to market the site now and im looking for ideas on how to market the site - all sites that submit link back so we are slowly building up traffic that way and google is begining to drop by on a regular basis - but im looking to get more site submissions

does anyone know of any directory or website that ecommerece website visitors - i want to directly advertise to site owners and affiliate managers etc that the directory wants submissions

but google doesnt seem to be bringing up any decent sites - are there are decent sites or have i found a gap in the market :)
