The internet is not free. It costs money to keep a site online. The best way to make money to support your site is thru popups and exits. While the surfer may *like* to not see popups, he'd also like to not see commercials on TV.
Well, just as free TV would go away without commercials, a good bit of the internet will go away without popup ads and exits.
You see, in the end, the surfer doesn't win by blocking popups, they're just dumb enough to *think* they do.

I am sick of talking to friends and other people that aren't webmasters who seem to think that running a site doesn't cost any money. Why should I let them suck my money out, trade my contetnt on p2p things,cost me money via bandwith, etc and not try to sell them something in exchange or at the very least get a little something from their visit (traffic exchange, etc). Sure if they are chained pop ups with attempted downloads that may overstep things but I am slightly sick of people acting as if it is a personal insult if you try to sell them something they are trying to take for free.
