Can I participate in link exchange programs?

That is entirely up to you.

Link exchange programs are arrangements between websites to cross promote each other by exchanging banner ads. As a member of such a group, you'll display ads on your site for other members and sponsors. In return, other members will advertise your site. This is an inexpensive way to increase the visibility of your site. We do not restrict participation in those programs.

An observation though: be sure not to go overboard with these banner exchange programs and make your site nothing but a collection of banners. An overdose of banners will drive your visitors away. Use banners sparingly. Do not put your banners on top of your page and make them the first thing a visitor sees when loading a page. Do not give a visitor an easy excuse to click off your page. Make sure the banner ads are compact and fast loading. Keep their size under 15K.
