POPUPS - EXIT CONSOLES - REDIRECTS
Should anyone who uses them be blacklisted?

2 years ago no one would even think about saying something like this. The industry is changing. Trend I see is when someone gets into this business they think that they have to make money ANY way they can. Now more and more people are starting to look at the long term and think popups of any sort deters people from clicking banners and buying in general.

Many many HUGE sites nowadays don't use them and make ENROMOUS amounts of cash. Many old programs still use them and continue to make money.

What's you thoughts?

Personally, although I've never used them I've taken a progressive harder stance against them. I used to use sponsers that used them and found they produced LESS than sponsers that don't. I also found many (not all) sponsers that use them don't credit a sale made from them to the referror. From day one it always felt like it was the scammers and scum of this industry that gravitated towards using them. I've always felt that a solid product with a good sales pitch will outsell tricking a surfer and is much more of a long term sustainable sales marketing plan.
