Free Banner Exchanges
Free banner exchanges are when you and other sites exchange each others banners . Their banner will go on your site and your banner will go one their site . Although this option is free , there are two main problems with it . First , if you want your banner on a significant number of sites , it will mean cluttering your own site up with these banners .

You need to ensure that the site produces the amount of traffic that they say and that they have your ad placed in a way that invites visitors to click without being too pushy . You also want to choose a site that does not house too many other banners on the same page as yours or that there are no competitor links on the same page .
