    New Alexa Toolbar Blocks Pop-Ups

    I run the Alexa toolbar. I was just notified that the newest version (7.0) blocks most pop-ups. I upgraded to the new version and it's doing a kick ass job of blocking them so far.

    nice.

    maybe the sponsors who fuck affiliates will feel it the most.

      I tested it out on some of those sponsors. It worked perfectly.

            wow, you're brilliant. lets hope the honest ones feel it just slightly less, go out of business, and send you back to the fry-O-lator where you appearently belong.

              I love it! You need to be careful though...it also block additonal windows that are legit. The management area is pretty nice for controling them.

                I don't think pop ups are necessary to make money in this biz. I've never used them. Many of my largest clients have never used them.

                Don't buy into the idea that they're necessary.

                    That is your opinion and one that you are entitled to of course.

                    We happen to pay the affiliates on our exit consoles so for us this would be viewed as a bad thing...as would most of our affiliates.

                      What do you mean, "It would be so great"? This is something that actually exists, really works, and is free:

                        It's becoming more and more difficult in this business every week.

                        Spam email is getting impossible; I have to sort the good mail from the bad.

                        I honestly believe that within the next two years spam email and popups will be history.

                                It asks you if you want it to block the pop up or not.

                                      I shoot for the biggest in the biz. The very largest client I shoot for does indeed use pop ups, but three of my other large clients do not... and their sites generate 7 figures on a monthly basis.

                                        The biggest in the biz all use popups.
                                        lets not confuse "the biggest in the biz" with "the biggest in YOUR biz"

                                                    So it pops up a pop up to ask if you want to block the pop up?
