pic posts are still around, although they lost their hold after tgps became prevalent.

banner exchanges are around, and there are new ones all the time. i don't use them because i never was comfortable having banners on my sites that i didn't control - imagine if some newb webmaster put something illegal on his banner!!!

link lists sometimes rock. i love persiankitty, justusboys, and some others. their traffic is usually pretty good, and some of the oldtimers like greenguy are still going strong.

there are CJ's out there, although the more common business model these days is the TGP that skims using a trade script. CJ's were a great traffic generator, but a lot of traders find better sales from TGPs.

and i know lots of people who use traffic brokers. i do, myself.
