Banner exchange to get leads for 5 Figure Day FREE website

So the struggle/testing continues. I was researching someone to replace 1800banners and came across ShowYourSite on a my favorite forum Money Maker Group .

In the mean time I have left The Banner Exchange running for another few days. My current statistics with the Banner Exchange are: 

Impressions = 4,240
BANNER CLICKS: 2

I have quite a few earned credits built up which tells me that they can only offer so many hits/views a day per banner. So I can likely build a system that runs multiple different banner exchanges at a time, this can be very beneficial. 

So ShowYourSite took about 24 hours to approve me, which had me thinking they were going to be high quality. And though I could have started running their banners and collecting points, I never do this. Had I not been approved, I would have gifted them a days worth of banner views. At first, I did not like the ads they were displaying, and there only seemed to be 2 or 3 different ads appearing. So I immediately thought I had just been duped. However, their numbers were pretty consistent with the ones I had, and they seemed to be getting clicks around a 1% CTR, which is pretty high for a banner exchange. So I left them up to see what would happen.

After 2 Days of running ShowYourSite here are my numbers:

So far today	impressions: 683	clicks: 5	CTR: 0.73%
All time	impressions: 5 536	clicks: 38	CTR: 0.69%

These are some pretty nice numbers for a banner exchange. Unfortunately I am removing them from the website for now. I have set up two different banners for 5 Figure day to run, and neither of them have reset a single impression yet. So I will give one more banner exchange a go, while I wait for this website to kick in and start feeding me some opt-ins. \

At the end of the day, now 5 days in, I am starting to wonder if the banner exchange is a viable solution. I have given out 10's of 1000's of impressions and in return have only received about 1 sign up from The Banner Exchange, which has been running now for the 5 days straight.

So with my 5 figure a day, now only sitting at 11 sign ups, and nearly one week in. I definitely think it is time to kick it up a notch and try a new route. I will be doing some research over the next day or two, and will be posting what my next step will be for everyone to see.

Good luck, and I hope my information is helping some of you.

This is my first post about how I am using 5figureday to build my mailing list!

To start the whole process and quickly build your initial list of 2-300 people, 5 Figure Day recommends purchasing Solo Ads. Now we all know Solo Ads are definitely the most beneficial and best route to go, especially seeings how that is essentially the reason we want our own mailing lists. However, going that route is neither cheap, or necessarily always quick.

You can purchase on average 50-100 clicks from a Solo Ad for anywhere between $35 to $75 dollars. Now, let's say you were to get a 50% (high) click signup rate, you are getting on average 37 sign ups for $55. According to 5 Figure Day we need at least 200 signups to start ad swapping for free, so we need to purchase 5-6 of these solo ads which would run you about $250-$500. Now, most people wanting to use this system, is because it is both FREE and already set up, so I doubt dropping $500 is an option. So that all being said, I am going to take other routes, see what happens and track it all for the rest of you to see through my mistakes, what worked and what did not.

The first thing I am attempting, other than hammering my (small) social networks of friends and family, will be banner exchanges using my personal website. For those of you that do not have a website for banner exchanges, I strongly recommend using Project "Robin Hood". This is a free system that pays you to share YouTube videos and allows you to place your own ad beside all the videos you share. On top of that, PRH pays you for every time someone watches a video you share, so you can put that money towards advertising/promoting your 5figureday website.

The first 2 banner exchanges I will be testing out are:

1800 Banners

The Banner Exchange

I have now been running both of these banner exchanges for 2 days and here are my results and opinions.

Starting with 1800 banners:

• Sent to my ad = 107,245 impressions resulting in 24 clicks and 0 5figureday opt-ins
• Credits earned = 16,495 credits.

The results and numbers from this website are questionable and confusing. Why have I received over 100,000 impressions for only providing 16,000? And 24 clicks with no opt-ins, that is unheard of with 5figureday, if you send 24 clicks, you should expect at bare minimum 5 registrations/leads. Though these are the numbers, and yes they look, something about this website feels a little off for me, so I am likely going to be switching their ad location with another banner exchange.

And now on to The Banner Exchange

• Sent to my ad = 2,417 impressions resulting in 2 clicks and 1 5figureday opt-in.
• Credits earned = 2,230.5 credits

This system has some flaws in their usability, as well as give few details about your account. However, this in my opinion is much closer to proper statistics that unlike 1800banners, does not seem made up at all. The ratios here, click through rate and sign ups are all well worth leaving them up for another 2 day stretch.

So to sum it up, 1800banners is questionable in their legitimacy, and are likely one of the reasons you will so often hear "banner exchanges are only good for the people running them". The Banner Exchange, got real results and sign ups and as of right now, I would be recommending them to others.

I will be doing some research in to other banner exchanges, so I can replace 1800 banners, and will post an update with 2 - 3 days.
