Re: Sorry, I couldn't see your content. The popup covered it up, so I just hit the back button
Moderator Melinda Mar 23, 2014 9:32 AM (in response to seoservicepro)As a consumer, I despise popup ads. I don't read them and I think that they are totally unprofessional when thinking about promoting your business (unless its a gaming site). I am sure that there are many people out there who do click on them out of curiosity. I'm wondering how many people actually become clients from seeing those ads.

seoservicepro Mar 23, 2014 10:04 AM (in response to Moderator Melinda)I wonder how many people never come back to your website after experiencing the popup. The proponents of using them always defend it by telling me how many people signed up on them.
Unfortunately, you can't measure the number of people who never return to your website. You work hard on SEO, Social Media and other marketing methods to get people to visit, then turn those that don't like popups away. Doesn't make sense to me.

Moderator Melinda Mar 27, 2014 9:48 AM (in response to seoservicepro)The only reason that I can see using a popup ad is to collect on click throughs. I know of some people who do make a living out of this. They own several sites and place these popup ads on the sites and then spend all their time promoting the site. Then you have those who don’t actually own the site that they are “promoting” and just place banners in exchange for that promotion of said site. Apparently, you can make a decent living off of click throughs. I for one do not consider that a business. I consider that a spammer. To each is their own, I guess.

What do you think of using popups for ads and for newsletter subscriptions?
Do you think they are effective?
Do you think they appear professional or do you think it looks like you don't care as much about the reader's experience as you do gathering leads?
If you use them, can you explain the thinking behind it?
