Description 
===========
Welcome to an innovative traffic driving program. We take the traffic building 
features of a banner exchange and the ease of text and put them together. 
Instead of rotating huge images, we rotate small textual links! 

Sign up for this free service and get the targeted traffic you have been looking 
for in a matter of hours. By displaying your customized links on your site you 
will start racking up the credits in no time at all. 
Moreover, you can display anywhere up to 5 links at a time within a link box. 
Every link that you display equals one impression. So if you decide to show 5 links 
in your link box, you may get from 2 to 5 credits (depends on your exchange ratio) 
for every unique page view. What banner exchange service lets you earn so many 
credits on every page view? 

If that wasn't enough you can earn free impressions by referring other members. 
Any time someone follows your link ("Add your link") to our site and decides to 
sign up, we will add 100 free credits to your account. 

Dynamic Exchange Ratio 

Unlike the many banner exchange services that have fixed and unfair exchange 
ratio (usually 50%), we have a dynamic one which is recalculated every hour for 
every member. Click here to see our current exchange ratios. 
Exchange ratio is based on quality of traffic you send. The more clicks you send, 
the higher your exchange ratio is. Member, whose click through ratio is highest, 
gets 100% exchange ratio. By placing links from proper categories on the top of 
your pages you'll get an exchange ratio close to 90%. 

Summary 

Simple coding and no need to have a banner image. 
Flexible and very generous exchange ratio - up to 100%. 
Allows to integrate links into your site and make them look just like the rest 
of your page. A sure way to get more people to click the link which then gets 
you more guaranteed traffic. 
You can target your link and choose what links to display on your Web site. 
Referring other sites gets you 100 credits. 
You can purchase additional credits.
