If you have a Website, Banner Exchanges are the perfect way
to get your message all over the internet for free. In a
Nutshell, here's how they all operate: You signup, upload
your banner, post some *HTML* code on your Website and
start receiving traffic. To be safe, your banner will be
accepted by all the Banner Exchanges if it's under 10K and
in '.gif' format, although requirements tend to be a bit
more liberal on others. What happens is the '.html' code
you Post on your Website will display banners, referred to
as Banner Impressions, for all the other members of the
exchange. All the other Members of the BanEx will in turn
show your banner at random.

How much? This depends on how many hits you receive. If the
BanEx works on a 2:1 ratio, you'll receive one hit for
every 2 hits displayed on your Website.

Still with me? Great! Now, I'll teach you some techniques
and explain a few concepts on how to use "Leverage" with
Banner Exchanges to send your Hit Counter through the roof
within one year. I like to call these BanEx's "Leveraged
Banner Exchanges". Not only will they credit you Banner
Impressions for visitors who navigate around your site,
but you'll be credited a percentage of Impressions for
People who signup under you as well! This in essence,
almost gives you the power of running your own BanEx.

Here's an Overview of 3 BanEx's that Offer this service..

BannersGoMLM.com - This Banner Exchange works on a 1:1
ratio, and is the first MLM Banner Exchange ever. In fact,
it's still in the Prelaunch stage until August 26, 2000.
It will give you 10% of all your Downline Impressions 5
Levels Deep. For example, say you signup 5 people, and
all your downline members signup 5 people throughout the
5 levels, then you'll receive 10% of the traffic for 3,125
Websites! Let's say the Websites Average 1,000 Hits Per
Year. That's 3,125,000 Free Banner Impressions within the
year! Now lets say your banner has a 2% Click Through
Ratio. That's 62,500 Free Hits to your Website within one
year. Say 1:100 Purchase a product you offer for $19.95.
You've just earned 625 * 19.95 = $11,875 simply by Posting
a Link. This doesn't take into consideration the back-end
value of your visitors (e.g. Mailing List Subscribers,
Repeat Customers, etc..).

BannersGoMLM Even allows you to target your traffic
geographically, and eliminate competitors ads from showing
up on your webpages. Here's the Signup URL..

ezTraffic Banner Exchange - This Banner Exchange will give
you 20% of all the Banner Impressions from Websites you
refer. If for example, a High Traffic site signed up under
you that received 100,000 impressions per month, you would
receive 20,000 impressions per month just for having them
signup under you. This BanEx also allows you to target
your traffic. Here's the Signup URL..

Link Buddies Banner Exchange - Link Buddies will give you
10% of all the Banner Impressions from Websites you refer.
Be careful when submitting your banner here though, since
the '.gif' file you submit must be a maximum of 10K. Link
Buddies has been around since 1996, and have proven their
stability. Here's the Signup URL..

So the concept is, after signing up, you'll receive
affiliate type links just like the URL's listed above that
you can promote these links by..

1. Writing Reviews and Submitting them to Search Engines

2. Purchasing Keywords at Goto.com and Linking them to
 your Review Page to Draw Targeted Prospects

3. Placing Ezine Ads

4. Using in your 'Sig' File when Posting to Forums
 and Discussion Groups

To cap it off, sit down and write a list of all the High
Traffic Webmasters you know personally. Contact one each
day and try to get them to signup under you. Also, lurk
around the internet and try to find high traffic sites that
are using the "Old Fashioned" Banner Exchanges that don't
offer Residual Traffic Benefits. Don't email them, call
them up and explain the tremendous benefits of this
approach. Sure, many will say no, but some WILL say YES.
All you need are a few high traffic websites that say
YES, and your hit counter WILL go through the roof!

So there you have it..
