Flat Monthly Fees

The following companies charge a flat monthly fee for their services. They typically offer the following services

Preferred ad placement. Usually you can have your banner ad placed prominently above the other listings in your category.
Pay Per Click Management. You pick the keywords and they do the rest of the work of setting up the campaign and managing it for you. LocalAdLink is very good at this.
Placement of your ad to their partner sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Youtube.

Some companies offer all three of these services, while others specialize in only one.
