You will be lucky if you get one click-thru to your site from every thousand visiters to the site you swapped links with. Plus if you are not getting the click-thrus you expect, you will know that your banner ad needs some work. Another consideration is that you may be swapping links with small sites with very few visitors. In that case you will receive little if any benefit, but if your site is active, you may be sending some of your best customers over there. If you use Hot Links Banner Exchange, then everything is kept fair.
Every site gets only as much advertising as they have earned by giving advertising.
