Popups.. Any good? - DevHunters.com l Webmaster Forum - Web Advertising - Web Design

Popups were quite popular a few years back. They are pretty much out-dated now especially after invention of many smart browsers and popup blockers, they are kinda history now but still few websites use them. Anyone here use popups on their website? If yes then how are the results like? Thanks for any responses.

Most browsers now come with a pop-up blocker but overall I think this is still good.

i don't really like them, and I rarely click them, if at all!

I would never use them for my website, not even pop unders

Im not sure they are great from advertisers side except for porn sites. All browsers are now popup proof and almost noone pay attention to them.

Popups are really annoying from an user point of view. It frustrates the user more than it provides some usefull information.

Hunter1 · 07-15-2007, 03:34 AM

My opinion is that the pop up days are gone and I am glad!! They really annoyed me!! I don't even have the PM pop ups activated in this site because I really don't like them!!

Albino · 07-15-2007, 05:27 AM

i dunno hunter, I don;t mind the pm pop ups,but then again, its a pop up that I can control, and that is useful.

Arch3r25 · 08-11-2007, 05:58 PM

I hate popups. They make me stop visiting a site, since they're rather annoying.

However, I would say that interstitials and Popunders are even more annoying.

I really have no problem with banner ads, though.

Captain Tycoon · 11-03-2007, 04:54 AM

I never return to sites that have pop-ups of advertisements. They are 100% annoying and thanks to my browser, it block it.

wangjinhk · 11-23-2007, 08:01 AM

IMO Popups are not good.Seems a lot of people dislike Popups.Aslo,I don't think
popups are nice.And seems most of browser including IE,FF and so on can block
popups.

weblord · 11-30-2007, 09:54 PM

adversal.com pays via popups, so im using them to monetize some high traffic pages, but not all pages.

mntor · 12-02-2007, 01:59 AM

As an user I dont like popups. So as a webmaster, i wont recommend them.

J0ker · 12-02-2007, 10:59 AM

Popups are a fantastic way of drawing users away from your site. If that is your goal I would highly recommend them. Otherwise, stick to banner ads and text links.
