i see people worrying about the google toolbar that has popup killer and others claim that surfers do not install it, same goes for alexa and so on. Personally although I know about these domains I've never seen any plugin anywhere to install it and enable them. I can't see how the average surfer will install this plugin...the only case is if it's enabled by his isp
Actually, the plugin installer is automated. When a surfer who doesn't have the plugin tries to go to a New.net domain, the browser detects that they don't have it installed, and it takes them to a page that says "To access this page, you need to install the New.net plugin" or something to that effect.

But, it's sill 1 more step that a surfer has to do before getting to your site.


EDIT: Well, I just tried to go to one of the sites, and it seems that it isn't automated anymore. I just get a 404.

So, I retract my "automated" blurb. I know it used to work. Maybe the new version of IE or something has killed it?
