I dont see how anyone could like pop-ups. I mean, most of the time they are lying like for example, how many times have you been the 1,000,000 visitor to a site? And how many times has it tricked you into thinking its a proper window instead of a pop-up? I hate them lol

I mean it wouldn't be to bad bu i ahte havinga site taht has 20 pop ups as soon as you get on a page it bites.... BUt whee do you even get pop up ads i have been looking for them but i can't find them?? so if any one can ansher that post here but i say that if you put one or two on a page it would be fine pluss it makes money for the site right so hey i say us them.

Who doesn't hate pop-ups? One of the reasons I didn't join this forum right away was all the ads. If there had been a pop up/under, I probably wouldn't have considered joining at all. But I think I'd rather have one pop-up (per visit/page) in exchange for 75% of the ads right now. (Of course, one always thinks things like that before they actually get it..) Anyway, it's a bad idea because it'd either drive away users and/or barely get noticed at all.

NO! NO!! NO!!! Never liked popup ads for any reason. They irritate me a lot and I am not gonna visit any site in which I encounter much opoup ads. U know, they even fill in your HDD with spy and adwares thereby infecting your comp.

Not at all, I DONT LIKE POPUP ADS and I aint ever gonna use them in any of my websites.

I like them when they remunerate good website, I click to give some money to the webmaster because it doesn't cost anything
But when there are 10 big pop-up on the same page it isn't really funny Have to click 10 times on the cross
For these one just use a pop-up blocker like Mozilla Firefox

i think everyone hates pop-ups but we're forgetting important features a pop-up can give a site.
view a certain article, a little info or a complementary photo in a small window is more confortable than seeing it in big window. some sites even pop a small window when you're asked to login and that's a way of not taking you away from what you were doing and saves you time. as almost everything else in life, when well used, a popup can be very usefull and pratical. if you build sites: use popups wisely, dont waste them with adds...

i dislike pop ups SO much, they always slow down my computer/freeze it. i would get mozilla but alot of websites's css i go to regularly dont work properly on there so i don't use mozilla. if i had to pick an advertisment its def text. i cant stand popups!!!

Oh, just like what i said last time, you just can't control all the ads that come with the service provider you choose for popups. You must accept it.

i hate pop ups especially when you go to a site with 20 pop ups and it takes you a couple of minutes to get to the site because of the all the pop ups, if there is one maybe 2 pop ups on a site it isnt that bad just as long as the pop up only appears when you first enter the site not every time you go to the homepage

I have mixed feelings about popups. I think pop unders might be better. At that juncture, they have already left your site.

I use to have a lot of pop ups. It drove away my traffice. I even had somebody link to my site with the cautionary note "lots of annoying pop-ups". So he linked to me, but who woudl follow that link?

I suppose if you get a ton of traffic, it is worth it.

Anybody have any good result with popunders. That is, ads that only show up after the visitor leaves your site?
