    Pop unders bad for SEO

    Now I know Google says to rank well you must have good content and improve user experience. I have plugrush installed with pop unders, so of course it annoy the user, but does it actually have a ranking factor to it?

    Thanks

    Google cares about user experience.

    Do users like popups?

    Does google want to be sending their users to a site that will annoy their users?

    I think you already know the answer to your question, but you're hoping someone will say "it's fine"

      I see about a 10-15% bounce rate increase with pops on some sites. But not much change on others. Google takes this into account when ranking I assume so.

        Stop and think for 10 seconds; do pop unders improve your experience? Of course it is bad SEO

            Tubes have low bounce rates using popunders.

            So, it depends on how bad people want your content.

              You were the one that decided plugrush was a good idea; not me. I am not convinced it is good SEO (would lean against it)

                Ok, what would be your recommendation to monetise traffic which isn't bad for SEO?

                  He can't even monetize seowebhost or pimpspromo and he's been at it for over a decade... You think he'll be able to help you?

                  The fact that he is even marketing a hosting company as an "seo host" shows how much he doesn't understand SEO..

                  If you want advice, look elsewhere

                    the tubes that literally dominate every adult serp must be doing something wrong then.

                      I was thinking maybe you should only introduce pop unders once you have thousands of visits a day. But not when you're starting out.

                        The same way we did it before people started creating scripts like Plugrush.

                          Everything that distracts users from consuming your content decreases their engagement. You need to find a golden middle between user engagement and site monetization.

                            I would say, that I would not worry about it, but if you are asking, it may be actually a sign that it is a ranking factor for them. These are examples of websites, which use popunders, and have a lot of traffic from Google, at the same time (I am sure there is a lot more, these are the only two that I've checked):

                            PornHub.com
                            PornTube.com

                              That Matt guy has said that it doesn't matter per se. But if it increases bounce rate and so on, that matters.

                              I use pop-unders those come when you click a link (page element). So basically there is much less bounces because of pop-unders.

                                      Make sure that you advertisement on the site is integrated in a way that makes the visitor want to click it - rather than force it on them (overlays, pop-unders etc).
                                      But.... I pulled out...

                                            Don't worry about what google wants or says.

                                            If you can get and keep people to your site and they stay awhile you'll rank fine - most of the time.

                                              I tested today with no pop unders. 45% bounce rate. Before was 60%
                                              It's worth noting that most of my visitors are mobile users. Therefore they get a pop up. No such thing as pop unders for mobile.

                                                  1- Popups are not a deal breaker for SEO...
                                                  (it's the resulting bounce rate that can affect the rankings...)
                                                  If that was the case then most the top listed sites in adult and other markets wouldn't be running pops..

                                                  2- If you dont want to use a popup just use a full page flex ad...

                                                  They also work as a great alternative to redirecting mobile traffic....
                                                  Redirecting mobile traffic will get you bitch slapped by Google...

                                                    It's worth noting that most of my visitors are mobile users. Therefore they get a pop up. No such thing as pop unders for mobile.

                                                    User triggers Pop by clicking on a link to a video
                                                    Tab A = redirects to the url of the popunder

                                                          Then get as many incoming links as them and you will be set. Pretty simple.

                                                            Not 100% sure what inbound links have to do with outlining the method used to create an IOS popunder... The method is outlined in an earlier post and is the same method used by pornhub and a long list of other sites that could be used as working examples of a functioning popunder for IOS...

                                                            That said yes, if someone wants to increase their SEO score proper back links and methods are needed. As well as a long list of other good practice methods. But I'm not about to write a 10 page post on how to do proper SEO...

                                                            At any rate the post was with regards to IOS popunder and that it is possible.
                                                            Not if people should do it or not...

                                                            Personally I like full page flex ads as an alternative to redirects and popups.

                                                              I am not saying that, lets say, all videos of Matt Cuts have no value, but I would not trust what they say 100%. What they say and the reality does not align. Ie. Cutts would say - never buy links - and a lot of xxx people do that, and this is how they get good results. So if you listen to what they say, you lose.

                                                                You don't seem to get it. What they say, is that how their system works and what they want from people. Of course you can try to "play the game". You can rob a store too, even if police says "Don't rob a store." They don't give you advices how to play dirty. And I don't think that anyone will even expect that they would.

Of course you can try to "play the game". You can rob a store too, even if police says "Don't rob a store." They don't give you advices how to play dirty. And I don't think that anyone will even expect that they would.
                                                                        I don't think he (johnny_d) was saying that.

                                                                        I think he was trying to say that google will not tell you the best way to rank. They will have Matt Cutts say some things that are true and some that are not. They will give good pieces of advice which will help you rank but also may hinder it.

                                                                                    I don't get that negative SEO stuff. Just few messages above there were stuff about buying links; how Matt advices against that; and here you tell that Matt denies the existence of negative SEO, that could hurt rankings. LOL

                                                                                    Or do you mean to hurt others people's sites rankings?

                                                                                    Well, the thing that we are even having this conversations proves that you guys are so deep into "playing the game" that you don't even see the big picture anymore. Every message is pretty much about fighting against Google. And when Matt tells how to rank better by going by the rules; that is something evil. You even fight against me just because I told something that Matt told.

                                                                                        I don't get from where you got the idea that the sayings of Matt would be some kind of a Bible that would have to be followed literally. Certainly I haven't said so. Can't you just take a hint and leave it there.

                                                                                        I said that Matt said that pop-unders doesn't matter per se. That is all.
