I very seriously doubt that
in the long run there will be more sales with these consoles. 20% increase in sales might be, but it's blinding the fact that you pissed off all people that didn't sign up.
What's the conversion on those banners? Let's just assume 1 in 400 clicks, I'm just picking a number, you do the math with the correct numbers if I'm too far off... That means 20% more sales means that not 1 out of 400, but 1 out of 320 sign up. That's leaves 319 people that have to go through 9 exit consoles they don't want. How many of those people do you think will click that banner again??
And even with a converion of 1 in 200 we're talking about 1 in 160 when the conversion goes up 20%, which still means 159 people get 9 consoles to sign up the extra 1 guy...
"one upon a time" the Internet has a majority of newbie surfers, now it's a majority of experienced surfers that sign up for a site 'cause it offers what they want to see... Surfers get smart, sell quality and they will sign up. Annoy 'em with 9 consoles on a banner and they'll abandon banners.
Just imagine what you would do if you clicked a banner and got 9 consoles... would that gain your trust? Would it make you sign up? I remember all hell broke loose when a Playboy banner started popping up on this board. That same exact reaction is there with the surfers...
