    I've used a few link exchange programs, but only for a week or so now. In general, I've seen a small trickle of traffic to my site, but most of the traffic bounces. I haven't seen any improvement in page ranking, but nor have I had any problems (so far).

    Never used the link trading programs you mentioned, but I have used http://www.tradespun.com. Some of the link I've traded on there have led to more organic search traffic.

    The key to link trading is to not go overboard with it.

    Link exchanges in general are not the best way to go - you will get more powerful links from in-context anchor posts and also blog commenting from high authority sites within your niche.

    Remember that Google may not be crashing these NOW, but who is to say they won't in the future? I recommend avoiding these sites and services.

    I am using as well linkmarket, i think it is one of the best, especially if you buy the full member option + added the lmds directory.
    I am also using voltrank. Now voltrank it is a little different. And i mean by different, better, it does everything automatic.

    I tried Revisitors.com to get more traffic to my site but it looks like it actually decreased my rankings. I have recently started using BlogBuzzer.com which has added links for Twitter, Delicisous, and Stumbleupon it seems to be getting more traffic.
