The OP asked about link trades and buying banner space. Several replies rightly warned about low-quality link networks (, , ) and pointed to DaniWeb's Business Exchange for listings (). This thread needed a short, practical checklist for screening partners and measuring results while avoiding search risk.

For potential link trades — treat them like paid placements. Check: topical relevance and audience fit; recent visible organic traffic (screenshots of analytics or reputable third‑party estimates); where the link will sit (inline editorial > footer/sitewide); visible anchor text and variation; and a clear removal/expiry clause. Ask that any paid/sponsored links be disclosed or marked per search-engine guidance to avoid penalties (see Google Webmaster Guidelines).

For buying banner inventory — get specifics before committing: exact placement (above the fold?), ad sizes and creative specs, guaranteed impressions or time period, viewability target, and demographic/geo splits. Negotiate pricing metric (CPM vs CPC vs flat), request a short paid trial, and insist on measurable reporting (impressions, clicks, conversions) with timestamps so traffic quality can be reviewed.

Measurement and testing: send each source to its own landing page and tag campaigns with UTM parameters; track conversion rate, cost per acquisition, and 30/90‑day retention where relevant. Start small, A/B creative, then scale winners. If suspicion of low-quality or bot traffic appears, request logs/reporting and a refund or removal.

For policy and long-term safety, consult the official Google Webmaster Guidelines on paid links and link quality before finalizing deals.

You can also build quality backlinks to market your site.Forum posting and blog commenting is a good choice.

Take a look at my site http://diggsamachar.com and let me know if you would like to get traffic from there. It has an alexa ranking ( 1 month average) of 56,000

You should be careful not to pay for link farms... you could also do what carlyse suggests and build backlinks... such as article submissions, etc,,

If you go to the Business Exchange Forum of the DaniWeb site you will find areas to find web hosting, link trades and other services. Good luck!

For getting good results from the websites you need to promote them manually and not by any link farm or auto submitting system.

Manual backlinking is much better as it gives much better result for long run.

IMO trading link is not a good opinion. Recently saw a guy repenting for buying link from a PR8 site as after the PR update, the PR of the site came down to PR5 and the guys has lost all his money.
Manual linkbuilding is much preferable and works great, If you are thinking for a long run.

Google's ranking system does not look favorably towards links exchange. Thus, I strongly recommend you to familiarize yourself with SEO's best practices that can be found on SEMPO and CNET.
