This is not a conversation we will be having this time next year thanks to the pop up blockers like the one I am using now (Google toolbar).
20%? I believe it's more like 2-5% now if your own site didn't convert well it could very well be 20% or even more off consoles (inversely proportional). Yet, supposing (just for the heck of it) you are correct and it's decent 20% but that 20% could turn into 30%+ off bookmark sales if there was no console (take Hun's word for it, he knows what he's saying when it comes to "bookmarks" ) (unless ofcourse your site sucked then definitely you'd need consoles.. but I already said that). So that means with your pops and $1 million additional you are still losing $500,000. Then again it wouldn't benefit an affiliate if nothing was done to give credit for bookmark sales to affiliates so.. well.. square 1
