Mozilla auto-blocks pop-ups, they wouldn't bother me...
ohh, wait... Yeah, I'd see the pop-ups but I'd buy their stuff to help the site!

yeah, admin, better not use them on this site as MOST users nowadays
automatically block pop-ups anyway. it would be an annoyance for you to realize less income than you would expect from these. furthermore, you can't control all the ads that come with the service provider you choose for popups. and most popups are disguised to include auto-installers that will ruin trap17's reputation if ever it gets downloaded to other members' computers... some auto-installers are nasty to screw the registry, without the user even knowing it. as a general rule, shy away from popups. |

i think most people on earth block the pop ups, so using banners is a lot better

Pop-ups are a nightmare for those who don't have blockers, and they might red-flag your site and never comeback again...so its a no-win situation.

I agree with admin, I think pop up ads really make people hate your site. But pop up ads are not as annoying as those security warning download plugin box. Those are so annoying.
