As bloggers we should always be looking for more ways to gain traffic readers to our blogs. The more traffic we get the better chance we have of converting those visitors into readers on a regular basis. Today I am going to talk about the 125Exchange program that I came across a few days ago.

Basically the way the program works is you create a free account, then you upload your own 125 x 125 banner to your user panel. They allow you up to 3 different ads to run at the same time, this is great for a few reasons like “Granny” says in an email we sent to them.

The best thing would be to upload an entirely different ad and let the system display them. One will probably get more clicks. Then, keep removing the lower performing ad and replacing it with something different, always trying to improve on the best ad. Through this experimentation process you will definitely get to 1.00% click rate or better. We actually have people over 4.00%.

After your ads are up you can then grab the copy/paste code before you do that they they ask you to select some relative categories for your blogs niche. The categories you choose will then be coded into the copy/paste html your given making it easy for you and the monitors of the program to ensure everyone has relative categories working for them.

After you have the code you can place it on your blog in numerous ways such as your footer, sidebar, header or even directly in a post if you wish. The possibilities are endless and they use a Iframe code ensuring even those who don’t have javascript installed still see the ads making it very user friendly all the way around.

As “Granny” would say.

Please experiment. You should see the difference. Ads should draw and create curiosity. In other words and ad that say “SEO tips” is a statement, an and that says “Did you hear the latest SEO techniques” peaks a question of curiosity. Just think like the major advertisers.

After some talking with Granny from 125Exchange I have decided to give it a go and have replaced 1 of my 4 sidebar ads that people buy from me. This way I can see how the banner ads do for myself and others, I will be tracking my progress and most likely post a follow up to this if I see any good or bad results from the program.

I have heard tales from others I know using the program that it has brought in lots of new readers and viewers so lets hope the same goes for my blog! If you want to try this system out for yourself just visit one of the links I gave to the site above, please be sure and leave your comments, questions and results below by commenting so everyone can learn!
