What Banner Ads Can Do For You
Banner ads can help bring visitors from others sites to your own.

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.

Secondly, you have to be really careful about the types of sites with which you exchange banners. Some sites like to gather a lot of banners so that they can be a directory or portal site and not have to have any real content. These type of sites are known as banner farms or link farms will do nothing positive for your site and, worst of all, you will more than likely end up sending them a significant potential traffic.

You need to ensure that the site produces the amount of traffic that they have advertised and that they have placed your in a way that invites visitors to click without it being too pushy. You also want to choose a site that does not place too many other banners on the same page as yours or that there are no competitor links (especially promoting the same product or service) on the same page.
