It's not a scam. That's how traffic exchange programs work - you do a little for them, they do a little less for you. You can't expect to be able to come along with your tiny site that probably gets no or very few visitors, and instantly have them give you a 1:1 exchange ratio for free. A 1:10 ratio might be a bit steep, but you shouldn't expect to get any more than 1:3 without paying for it. No offense, but this is a bit like people whining about having to post in order to receive otherwise free hosting - you can't expect to go through life getting everything for nothing.
My banner exchanges bring me like 99% of my viewers and loyal viewers. I get loads of unique hits from them and people actualy click them. I've got one myself.. It only join button exchanges though as they are more popular.
All the girly blogs have one or joined about a handful of button excanges.. most are 1:1
they arn't all bad i have my own exchange with a 1:1 ratio and it has no sponser ads, all the ads are from other members http://www.gameplay.jlhost.net/banner best of all i made a promo for all trap17.com members when signing up type in the promo code trap17.com and you will get 500 free banner credits
Well it may be that, but thats not what I am thinking. Im thinking that the banner exchange is just to show you litlle buttion on someonleses site. Beacuse noone is going to klick it. So I think that the bannerexchange is bad. I dont like it.
For me its word of mouth that will get me customers. All those banners on a single web site...just think..if i came to your website and saw all those banners....id think I had the wrong site and probably would leave. I hate ads and banners. Ill never allow them on my site. But to each their own I suppose. Were all here to make money right?
I personally disagree, as I have a cousin who has used a traffc exchange program, and found out he was cheated out of his time and effort.

LOL I have to say, as the owner of a banner exchage, we are not all scammers. I currently am displaying only members banner on my exchange. Even other banner exchanges. Banner exchanges are a very good way to get free advertising. It will only bring in so many hits though. It is considered very good if you get morea couple clicks out of a thousand banner impressions. You can't expect your site to grow from banner exchages alone, but it is a very good way to help get things moving.
Well, at first I didn't have a problem with that- people coming to look at our house. But what
happened today changed that. For anyone who has ever moved/sold their house, you know what having
someone look at your house is like. Now I'm one of those people who is so neurotic about people
stealing my stuff that I do/did the following things: I put everything upwards of 50$ in my

People who don't pay well when you babysit their demon children. TAKS testing. Algebra. My
lack of talent. How easily I get bruised. Taxing. Hillary Clinton. Barrack Obama. Ted Kenedy.
Al Gore. Ummmm. I'll add more later.....
I go to the doctors to get a physical one day, and this doctor had no idea what to do. So I was
sitting there while he kept going back to the main desk thing to ask what to do, or what something
was. It ended up taking me 4 hours to get a dang physical. And my Aunt got SJS(Stevens Johnson
Syndrome), she is in the hospital now. And there is not a single specialist at any local hospital,
so she is just laying there in a bed, hooked up to a Dialysis (does the work for her Kidneys). And

This is some part of my school's rule about absency : 1. Bell rings at 6.50 AM 2. Student is
late if he/she come at 7.00 AM or later 3. Student whom late cannot go into classroom and must
stay at detention room untill next class begins I'm sure I've learnt those rules carefully.
And one day, I come after the bell rings. I checked my cellphone clock, it is 6.55. But when I step
up the stairs to my class, a teacher call me and says that I am late! I already told him that
I'm not late because it is still 6.55 AM (My cellphone clock is adjusted jus....

rap as a whole, but I hate it. To a lesser degree. I dislike Rap because of the rappers who go about
disrespecting women with their lyrics, like if they go around saying, I be with your mama on the
parking lot while she's feasting on my lollypop, ya dig? What the hell is that supposed to

work... But can somebody please go into detail? Ive been using Vista for almost a year and I havent
had any problems of the sort. In fact, I prefer it over my xp. Could it be that those who havent
tried it personally, don't like it? They have just heard horror stories? Or is it that somebody
had a bad experience and then spreads those stories until it gets to the point where some people
think vista doesnt even run properly? Vista came built on my laptop, then I swapp....

altogether. Does anyone know how or where I can do this?....

I'll spend 2 hours on a 40 point homework assignment, and magiclly the book disappears. I
can't win, I can't do anything right. I wish I didn't start to see this until now and I
could have tried and stop my bad habits and train my forgetful mind, but right now is to late.

Loads of people i know, who have very little HTML knowledge, use Piczo . And now, anyone with one

randomly thrown on a page, with very-hard-to-navigate links. Freewebs is basically the same. I'm
not sure about my space, I think it uses HTML, but I hate myspace websites. Anyways, back on the

Who here hate smokers? I mean, they go into a restaurant, sit in a non-smoking section, and smoke,
ignoring the sign. I also want to tell everybody that 2nd hand smoking is actually worse than the
smoker himself smoking it. In Houston, the mayor has already banned smoking in restaurants. Well,
you know my vent, I hate it when people smoke right in front of you while you're in a casual
conversation. I can't stand the smell. I know I can't just cover my nose so I usually just
walk away. I think smoking should be banned and I hope it will...sometime...soon.......
