You won't get banned for promoting your site on any of those. You need to just put links to your site on other sites where the content is relevant.
You can not get banned for promoting your site. You can only get banned from Google Adsense if you generate false-clicks or place the ads on sites that are not compliant with Google's TOS. Don't worry - the type of traffic is not any factors for potential bans.
I found this page and I thought it could be useful for those looking how to promote their blogs. http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/09/16/13-ways-to-promote-your-next-blog-post/
