I just installed
Alexa toolbar, which now has popup blocking, and I noticed that it
incorrectly determined my target=_blank traffic trading links as popups!!!
Furthermore, I allowed the popup and my site was listed in the "
Always allow popups from these sites:" list, so it was no accident on my part. Only after I clicked to allow the popup did my trade partner's site load up. I tried to duplicate it on my other sites and I could, but only half of the time. I removed my original site from the list and I could
not duplicate it again, so this 'bug' is very sporadic.
For those of you with Alexa toolbar and who trade traffic, can you enable Alexa's Popup Manager (is it enabled by default?) and test this on your sites? Let me know if it is just me. Lots of users may be labelling my sites as popup sites incorrectly. Sad if this is true. Thanks.
