Stop staying banners! You're killing me over here.
A banner is a graphic. I assumed that you are referring to reciprocal links. What you have done with your links isn't correct if you plan on getting listed on link lists. You are looking for link trades, which is another beast entirely.

Don't poke around anymore. The net is a scary place. Ask your questions here and you'll find yourself progressing rather quickly. You'll learn a lot more here than you will wandering around all alone. Plus, if you plan getting those link trades someday, you're going to need to make freinds with site owners. Many people only trade links with those that they 'know' and trust.

Don't use the hidden text. It's junk. For search engines - the lower on the page it is, the less significant it is. The smaller the font, the significant it is. Even if you dupe them by using a background image instead of bgcolor, the text is probably going to be a waste of time. Look at the big sites that you want to trade links with. You won't find any hidden text.
