Ok I hear all the time about how webmasters hate popups and will never use them.

Most common reasons webmasters don't like them.

1. TGP owners - they want to keep bookmarkers
2. Affiliates - they don't want to loose there traffic to a sponsors popups. ( I disgaree with this reason entirely but that's a whole other discussion)

Ok here is how I use them. I want to hear a "legitimate" reason on why they are bad and I shouldn't use them.

1. I have tons of free sites that get premium SE traffic.
2. All these sites have at least 2 popups on exit.
3. I DO NOT want bookmarkers. I get the traffic and get them off my site ASAP to a sponsor through banners & text links. I'm hoping they DON'T get to my gallery and freeload.

Poups on these sites
1. Get me extra sales because I can send the surfer somewhere instead of letting them back up to the SearchEngine they came from.
2. Can be used to test out a new sponsor - rather than having to build a bunch of new sites I can just switch my universal exit to show a new sponsor...blam easy quick traffic to test stuff.
3. Can be used to feed traffic to any new project I start.

So without a piss match can some please give me a valid reason on why I should be a "nice guy" and not use popups?
