I think the big three would be:
Wizards of the Coast's web site (get pnp players to find this game)
Massively.com - the number one MMO site on the net
Kotaku.com - probably the best place to find video game news. Also, a big international audience.

OT but for those that haven't read it, check out the screencapped Lord of the Rings at twentysided - absolutely hilarious: http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?cat=14

Same on other top mail servers.
Showcase the combat system (e.g. Sorcerer running, jumping, rotating in mid-air, then casting a Fireball in the middle of a mixed mob of undead or ice flensers & mephits). Other games = walk up, stop, start casting, cast, mob starts to run at you, stand and start casting again, get beat on, cast, rinse and repeat until you or the mob is dead.

I don't often go to gaming websites other than this one, so these aren't quite focused on the audience, but perhaps they could be useful.

http://www.indiamike.com/ (Okay, this one probably will not reach a lot of MMORPG players, but I'm checking it all the time cause I'm excited about a trip later this summer.)
www.thatguywiththeglasses.com - Check here almost daily for new videos!
and as for why? The site is practically dedicated to nerds and already advertises other Free MMOs, so I don't see why DDO would be bad to advertise there. Also, anymore funding to allow the awesomeness of this site to grow is always welcome in my opinion

Gamespy, Magic: The Gathering, and XKCD would seem like receptive audiences to DDO on websites that receive lots of traffic.

Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
- Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
- Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
- Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
- Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
- Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.
say, why don't you promote the turbine twitter and send DDO themed tweets?
