I came across the site Spottt and thought that this might be something to share with those of you looking for something that could help. Spottt takes the old idea of the banner exchange and instead of all of the people on the banner exchange eventually being seen, you should only see sites with similar content to yours.
This is idea for people with smaller sites that are seeking more traffic. Although it says it is a link exchange, you are really submitting both a link and a banner, so it really is a banner exchange. Banner exchanges have been a great way to get traffic, but they have usually been very unfocused. Banner exchanges with more than 150 sites with various content, so if you had a web design site, you would have seen sites that had no common grounds with your own.
It is free to use and you can place it on a multitude of sites like:
LiveJournal
MySpace
Xanga
or any site that allows you to insert outside HTML.
Requirements are that you must put the ad above the fold, or by Spottt’s definition, less than 850 pixels from the top of the page. In return, Spottt will calculate your site impressions and how many clicks have gone through so you can monitor your site’s performance.
Have you tried banner exchanges similar to Spottt? Where? And has it worked to bring traffic to your site?
