Nice promo. I don't give two shits about the politics of whatever happened in the past, so I threw a few links up. Some of the sites look nice enough. I missed about six hours of the promo, though
Using the standard linking code I get no pop-ups on the landing page, and one or two pops after backing out of the join page. Nothing major - I had no big problem getting back to my site.
The site I linked from is strictly pop-free, so I did put a small mention that the sites may have popups, but that doesn't seem to have stopped anyone from clicking. If there's no effect on my traffic or complaints from surfers, I may have to rethink my anti-popup stance.
I'll be sending around 100 hits an hour to test. Not much, but a couple thousand should be enough for a couple of sales. I'll see how it goes. If it works out for me, great. I'll be ready for the next promo. If not, I got a couple of blog entries out of it
That's another good thing about blogs. They can be instantly updated to spam whatever new promo arrives in my inbox - without interfering with my regular ads.
