HottySwingers : The Net's Largest Swingers Network.

Please note that our Banner Exchange service and our Text Ads Exchange service are two different services. You must create two separate accounts to benefit from both services. Switch to the Text Ads Exchange FAQs here.

Q. What is HottySwingers Banner Exchange ?
HottySwingers Banner Exchange is a 100% free and effective online advertising engine for webmasters, small and big companies who run dating, adult dating and adult-related websites.. We use a state-of-the-art banner exchange system which will help your business grow at no cost. We offer 500 bonus impressions when you join us (quick free registration process), detailed statistics, a banner exchange ratio of 5:4 and much more.

Q. What is an exchange ratio ?
The banner exchange ratio (also called ''display ratio") defines how many banners you have to display in order to earn credits to display yours on the network. For instance, a 5:4 ratio means every time you show 5 of some other site's banners on your site, you earn 4 credits which convert in free impressions (1 credit = one exposure / impression) on a partner's site. It is important to note that HottySwingers.com has an excellent 5:4 ratio, that is to say a very good ratio in the Dating / Adult banner exchange industry, likely to boost your targeted traffic and sales. You can easily check if a ratio is good. A site which offers a 4:3 ratio will display your banner 75 times if you display its network banners 100 times. At HottySwingers.com, if you display our network banners 100 times, yours will be displayed 80 times ! It might almost result in a two-fold increase in traffic and sales !

Q. How does the Banner Exchange system work?
You get loads of free targeted traffic by exchanging banners with other members of our network. Why targeted ? Because for each banner size, you choose a category for your website(s) (up to 3 different websites in each category) and which categories you want to display your banners (so if you own a dating site, you may decide that only dating traffic will see your ad and your traffic will be much more targeted). Then, just paste a simple code we provide into your pages (which allows banners of other members' dating / adult dating / adult banners to be dispayed on your site (according to the categories you select). Each time somebody opens a page of your website where our network banners are displayed, you get credits (5:4 ratio) and each time a visitor clicks on our members' banners, you get 10 additional free credits. As soon as you have credits, your banners are being displayed on thousands of other dating, adult dating and/or adult websites around the world for free and you exchange loads of free targeted traffic with our other members. More targeted traffic to your website means more sales for you and an excellent ROI (Return On Investment) as you will NEVER pay for our service. .

Q. Why exchanging banners is so important ?
When visitors leave your website, you will usually lose that traffic forever. Exchanging banners allows you to exchange "used" visitors for new ones who click on your banner on our other members' sites. This way, you get loads of fresh targeted traffic, and your new visitors will probably stay to sign up for your products/services, meaning more sales for you. As you can see, the more targeted traffic you exchange (exchanging banners with websites which have nothing to do with yours is completely useless, that's why HottySwingers.com provides quality trafiic from/to adult and dating related sites only) the higher number of targeted visitors who are likely to visit your own site. The more banners you display, the more targeted fresh traffic you get. For this reason, we recommend that you place our code on as many pages as possible so that your site gets a maximum exposure accross our members network. This means increased sales and better profits for you.

Q. Don't I lose traffic by linking to other sites ?
That's the contrary actually. If you decide not to join our network, you will be more likely losing traffic. Your website may be compared to a shop on a crowded street full of other shops like yours. The more people who get attracted by your "neighbours'" shop, the more visitors who will visit YOURS. This way, you get more sales without having to pay for an expensive advertising campaign right ? That is free traffic from other businesses. If each shop deals about sport like yours, people who visit the other shops will probably decide to visit your too ! And once your visitors get out of your shop, what do you lose if the decide to visit your "partners'" too ? Don't miss this unique opportunity to get loads of free fresh targeted traffic from HottySwingers.com network.

Q. Which are the main benefits for me?
All visitors visiting any site will eventually, obviously leave this site. Thanks to links to and from other relevant sites (relevant partners = more targeted traffic and sales), you exchange leaving users for fresh ones and expose this way your site to a higher number of users. Increased traffic means more sales and better profits for your business. Besides, search engines (like Google for instance !) and web site directories determine ranking (ie Google PageRank) by how many and what types of links and banners are pointing to a web site. These links are seen as "votes" by the search engines, they increase your search engines popularity and rankings, which results in better placements in the search engines and directories, and thus increased targeted traffic and sales. HottySwingers visitors and members may also participate in our static link exchange service to increase their search engine rankings. You can submit your link here for free.

Q. Is HottySwingers Banner Exchange service it easy to use?
Quite easy actually. HottySwingers.com Banner Exchange service has been designed to be effective, safe, secure and very easy to use. New members join here and can start using the system after a very quick free registration process. All you need to do is to copy and paste the banner codes we provide in your control panel into your pages (we recommend that you place our code on each page of your site, so you get a maximum exposure and an increased targeted traffic to your site(s) ).

Q. Is this service free ? Will it remain 100% free ?
HottySwingers Banner Exchange is a 100% free service. Furthermore, this service will remain 100% free for life. Contrary to other similar systems, we will never sell traffic, you will never sell your ad space either. At HottySwingers.com, we are committed to providing you with the best advertising exchange service, along with the best support and all of this will remain 100% free for life. At HottySwingers.com, advertising must not be a matter of money. Each member must have an equal opportunity to get loads of free, quality targeted traffic.

Q. Which sites do you accept ?
We accept all legitimate dating /adult dating / adult-related websites offering services for people in search for products, services, romance, relationships - sexual or not - or whatever related to the dating/adult industry. All sites not related to these industries will by systematically rejected. Why ? Because at HottySwingers.com, we think that the best way to improve this free environment and to provide high quality free targeted traffic is to focus on a specific industry. We have been involved in the dating / adult industries for a long time now, and our advertising system will remain a high quality standard service as long as we keep limiting it to adult / dating sites, which means a very targeted traffic and best results. We won't tolerate sites with pedophily or models under 18. If you submit such a site or any site with unlegal content, it will be immediately reported to the appropriate services and your domain name will be banned from our system for life.

Q. Can I paste your code on several pages on my site?
Yes, definitely. We advise that you paste our code on all pages of your site. The more pages which display our network banners, the more targeted traffic you get, the more visitors will visit your siite and purchase your products / services. You can also place our code on as many different websites as you wish. However, if our code is placed on non dating / adult related websites, your membership will be cancelled for all of your sites. Thank you for helping us provide targeted traffic to our members.

Q. Can I paste your code as many times as I wish on each page ?
No, you can not. We are striving to provide you with the best service we can. This means we want our members to have the best Click Through Ratio possible. To insure this happens, we currently limit the maximum number of ads from HottySwingers.com to three per page (including banners and text ads). This way, people who are not likely to click on the ads of a website (because they are visiting it for the first time for example) won't waste too many of our valued members credits. However, three different ads on each page may attract the visitors' attention and thus increase the chances that they click on an ad. You can make any combination you wish, as long as you don't exceed three ads per page (ie 2 banners/1 text ad, 3 text ads, 3 banners, 2 text ads/1 banner...).

Q. Can I have several accounts?
Yes you can. However, your account allows you to use up to 3 different banner sizes (468*60 / 120*240 / 120*60), with three different banners for each size. Furthermore, each banner can lead to a different website as long as it is a legitimate site pertaining to the dating / adult industry. This means up to 9 different websites to promote ! However, if for some reason you find it more convenient to use one different account for each website, or to divide some of your advertising campaigns into several accounts, feel free to do so.

Q. What can I do if I see a banner not suitable for my website ?
Our banner management team approves all new accounts manually. Also, each time you edit ANY information (banner, ALT tag, target site,...), your account will be reviewed by our banner management team and approved manually before your new banners appear on our network. This way we can make sure that only genuine / legitimate websites will enter our banner exchange network. For this reason, unlegal websites are not likely to exchange banners with our valued members. However, if you feel that any site should not have been approved because of its unlegal or immoral content, please report it. Even though the banner has been approved previously by our banner management team, we will review it again to ensure that it falls within the guidelines for acceptable banner advertising.

As a member, you can not prevent specific websites from being displayed on your ad space. However, you can prevent all sites from a specific category to be displayed on yours. You can do so by selecting your website's category and the categories where you want it to be displayed in your control panel, when you edit your banners.

Q. Why is HottySwingers banner exchange service different from other networks ?

Q. What is a CTR (Click Through Ratio) ?
The Click Through Ratio (CTR) indicates an average of how many banners are displayed on websites before someone clicks on a banner. The average CTR of our members is above the average overall statistics of the banner exchange industry as we provide very targeted traffic to very specific categories. This insures only people already interested in what you have to sell will see your banners and click on them to purchase your products and services. Thanks to the fact we only accept dating / adult dating / adult sites, and we allow our members to choose the categories they want to exchange banners with, we insure that you get a great CTR, which is important in both ways : you spend less credits as you get more visitors with less impressions, and you get 10 free impressions each time someone clicks on one of the banners of our network you display on your site(s) ! However, any attempt to cheat will result in a permanent ban.

Q. Can I pause and resume my accounts ?
Yes, you can.pause and resume displaying your banners for each account and each banner size. Even if your account is paused you still earn impressions for displaying banners on your site for later use. This way, you can save your credits for intensive banner advertising campaigns.

Q. What types of banners can I use ?
We allow banners in "GIF", "JPEG" and "Flash (SWF)" formats. All banners must have popular dimensions of 468*60 / 120*240 / 120*60 pixels. We do not host your banners, so you don't have to upload them. You just enter the url of your banner hosted on your own server, and that's it ! This insures we don't have to limit the banner size to save our bandwith. Some banner exchange programs limit the size of your banners to a few Kb, which makes difficult to use attractive high-quality banners. We at HottySwingers.com make sure you can use any banner you wish with no restriction.
