You say you're ready to drop $5k on a media buy, but you apparently haven't talked to any reps because if you did you would know what they do and don't allow. Some don't allow certain niches. Some say they don't allow any rebills, although you can slide lower volume niches past them that are rebills. Also, they all have different requirements as far as discaimers and what not. Compliant on one network is not necessarily compliant on another.
How do you plan to track and optimize your campaign? For $5k, you'll have to do the work yourself, which means you have an adserver, right???
Have you tested your creatives elsewhere to make sure you're starting off with creatives that should get a decent CTR? Do you know where your ads are going to be run and what type of a demographic you're targeting? Does that demographic convert on your offer with other traffic sources?
Don't jump into a media buy just because you have $5k burning a hole in your pocket. If you haven't taken any of these things into consideration, you're just going to lose your money.
