Banner Exchanges- Part of Your Advertising Plan

A banner exchange is the exchange of advertising banners or buttons on participating members sites. As a member, you would add HTML code to your site, allowing other participating members banner ads to show on your site. In turn, these members sites with this HTML code will show other members sites, including yours. Generally, the more banner ads your site displays, the more your banner is displayed on the other sites at a ratio anywhere from 1:2 to 1:1. The banner exchanges are generally free to join and require the member to register their contact and site information at the banner exchange site. Once registration is complete, a small piece of HTML code is required to add to your site in order for the program to work.

Banner Design Tips and Ideas

Design To Get The Max From Your Design

  • The Smaller The Better- Everyone's in a rush and you will want to have them have time to resd it
  • Use Imagination and Eye Catching Design-Your creativity will help you get better results
  • Alignment,Proportion and Simplicity Are Important-Less is usually better.Let the design allow the reader's eyes flow with a natural rhythm.
  • Watch Your Fonts-Be cerain that they can read your message!Do not use more than three different fonts. We recommend sticking to one font for consistancy sake.
  • Always Place A Call To Action ! The old "click here" still works. Use words like free, you and now...will also help
  • Watch Your Spelling...Proof your banner to make sure that all is correct
  • Have several designs that you can rotate. After several hunred times od seeing the same banner, the chance of getting a click through becomes negligable

Use Your Banners For Extra Traffic

Many traffic exchanges offer banner impressions as part of thier programs. They often allow you to convert credits into so many impressions. Look for programs that have a lot of members. This will be your best shot towards getting the traffic from your banner.
I Love HIts
this is one of the best programs and my personal favorites. It has banners, text links and of course traffic exchanges. The banners part of the program is very easy to use. You give the banner URL, you give the actual URL of the website. Then it is simply a matter of assigning impressions or credits. The best thing about this program is that there are so many members, you get the most bang for your banner impressions. I am a paid member. The cost is very low, and the benefits are well worth the cost.
