Free Banner Exchanges
This method lets you put your banner on some else’s site and allows them to put their banner on your site. Banner exchanges are free between the sites exchanging. There are obstacles when you use this method. An immediate one, if you wanted to exchange banners with several sites would be the huge number of banners ads on your site.
This can create additional problems if you also run an affiliate website. You run the risk of visitors clicking on your banner exchange links, instead of your affiliate links.
The next problem when you exchange banners, if you aren’t careful, you maybe exchanging with sites that essentially are “banner farms” or “link farms”.
You must use caution when you decide to use banner exchanges. You do not want to create potentially negative exposure for your site because you are exchanging with “link farms” or “banner farms.” These are exchanges sites that are essentially directory or portal sites without any substantive content.
Paid Banner Ads
Paid banner ads cost you money upfront, but if chosen properly this method works well. Two things are important you are looking to get the traffic you were told you would get, secondly you want the visitors to be able to access your banner ad with ease, and this is done with an eye to strategy placement.
Your banner ad page should have as few as possible other banner ads on that same page, competitor links appearing on the same page as your banner ad is never good.
Banner advertisements can be profitable for your site if done correctly. Be sure to keep these tips in mind if you decide to use banner ads.
