UK Banners is the 'largest free advertising network dedicated to the UK web community'. This is one of the most popular banner exchange programmes used in the UK, and for good reason. Its simple to setup for one, all that you have to do is include some HTML code in your webpages. For every 10 times that you show somebody elses banner on your website, you get 8 banner impressions shown on somebody elses website. This makes it one of the highest ratio sites in the UK, so UK Banners is certainly not something to be sniffed at..

The LinkBuddies system is based on the principle of helping others. You help others by placing advertisements on your web page, and in turn others help you by advertising your site on their web pages. The LinkBuddies service contains no ugly adverts attached to your banners, you get 500 free impressions for joining and you have full access to your banner statistics via the control panel. All in all, one of the best..

First impressions of this service are not very good at all, as the website looks horrific! Signing up to this service earns you a 1 for 1 ratio (1 banner exposure for 1 loading of the services HTML code) even if the banner impressions are never clicked on. However, you will also earn an additional 15 exposures of your banner each time one of your visitors clicks on one of 4for5's banner impressions. Therefore, you can easily earn the maximum ratio of 1.6 to 1 (1.6 banner exposures for 1 loading of 4for5's HTML code) with just a 2% click through rate. If your still with me after that description, then you will pleased to know that despite the shoddy website, the service is certainly worth a go..

UK Buttons operates under the same principles as UK Banners..mainly as they are run by the same company. Like with UK Banners this is one of the best free banner exchange systems available, and again offers a high ratio of 10:8. Meaning that every time you show 10 banner impressions on your site...8 banner impressions are shown on another website. UK Buttons only applies to buttons that are 120x60 in size..

BannerSwap as you can guess is another banner exchange service. This is how it works: As soon as you have signed up, you'll be given some HTML code to insert into your website. Every time somebody visits your homepage, BannerSwaps html code will display a banner on your site. Every time a banner is displayed on your site, you'll earn a credit. For every 2 credits your account earns, BannerSwaps system will display your banner on other members' sites. For instance, if your site displays 1000 banners, your BannerSwap account earns 1000 credits, and our system will display your banner 500 times on other BannerSwap member sites. Overall, this is well worth checking out, though other sites do offer better banner ratio's..

Banner-X-Change.net offers a pretty comprehensive banner exchange network. First up, on signup to the Banner-X-Change service you get 1000 free banner impressions which is certainly pretty generous. The service supports 4 different banner sizes (468x60, 400x40, 120x60, and 88x31), targeted advertising and a referral program, in which you can earn 1000 impressions per signup or 5 impressions per click. Overall this is a feature rich service, and a quality one to boot..

123Banners is another free banner exchange programme designed to help web sites advertise each other. The concept is simple: by joining, you agree to display advertising banners for other members, and they agree to display banners for you. You can decide what type of sites to advertise on and advertise for so you don't need to worry about inappropriate material showing up on your pages. Each time the 123 Banners system displays a banner on your site, it will automatically credit your 123Banners account with 1/2 a credit. For every full credit your account earns, the 123 Banners system will display your banner on other members' sites. For example, if your site displays 1000 banners, your 123Banners account earns 500 credits, and the 123 Banners system will display your banner 500 times on other 123Banners member sites. This is a pretty average service, and doesnt offer the wide variety of features, or free impressions that other banner exchange services offer.

The free service offered by Impressionz is a pretty well organised service, as they offer both free and payment services. If you wish to pay for banner impressions, you can do so using this service, however, if your just after a simple banner exchange service..you can get that too. The Impressionz service gives you 1000 free banner impressions on signing up to the service, and offers a 2:1 exchange ratio (every 2 banners displayed on your site, 1 is displayed on somebody elses site). A well run service overall, that offers support for a variety of banner/button sizes..
