Now, multiply those banner viewings by joining 2, 3, or 4 banner exchanges and you can start getting picture. A year from now (I wouldn't say this is a get rich quick scheme) you can be getting thousands of hits daily from your own credits and credits of those you have referred to banner exchanges.

Now let's get down to basics of which banner exchanges I recommend you join to start putting this plan into action on your website. As I said above, I am personally a member of 2 banner exchanges. I have joined and reviewed more of them, but I am most satisfied with these two exchanges: LinkBuddies and Relmax.

LinkBuddies

The first site I recommend you to join is LinkBuddies. For every member you refer to LinkBuddies, you will receive 20% of that member's credits for life! LinkBuddies also gives you 500 FREE impressions just for joining. Other features include a wizard-based banner creator and banner targeting. To join visit http://www.linkbuddies.com/?ref=113644

Relmax Flash Banner Exchange

As name states this is an exchange for flash banners, but they accept non-flash banners too. Relmax has a two-level referral program. You will receive 10% of your direct referral impressions earnings and also 5% of your indirect referral earnings. Relmax keep only 30% of banner impressions you generate, that is a good 10:7 ratio. Also you receive 1000 credits when you sign up. To join visit http://www.rfbe.com/?refid=2589

Conclusion

Traditional use of banner exchanges is not a great advertising tool, even when they are free to use. But using right banner exchanges with right strategy they can generate a lot of traffic to your website in long run.
