Chapter 11: Getting Other Webmasters To Promote Your Site
Idea 89: Start Your Own Banner Exchange
You could start your own banner exchange (see also Idea 18: Banner Exchanges).
The benefit of this, is that banner exchange schemes are designed so that your members show more banners than they get back - and you get to use the difference to advertise whatever you want.
You should find suitable scripts for this at ScriptCavern.com  and similar web sites. In particular, you might want to consider the Smart Traffic script.
Be aware that running a successful banner exchange can use a lot of web server resources, so you may need to upgrade your web hosting.
Two other points:
- You can promote your banner exchange at directories and other sites that list them.
- You may do better by creating a specialist focused banner exchange (for example, a banner exchange between sites related to Dogs or whatever you're interested in) than a general one.
