For Consoles or not for Consoles? - GoFuckYourself.com

scottybuzz · 09-26-2006, 12:23 PM

Hmmmmm Whats your views on this? Whats the majority of the industries view on whether or not sites should have pop-ups.

Im at the point where I decide whether the majority of my outbound links have consoles or not.

I understand why people would have them, to make more money(which sponsers off) and try and produce extra sales through the popups.

But do people not use them because
A) its ethically wrong and they feel sorry for the surfer or
B) Because if surfers see your outbound links going from your site they wont bookmark you or comeback.

Lets have your

please.

Some consoles have my ref links on though

I remember promoting raven riley and in my first week my first sale was for some women on jaymancash I have never even promoted! Not even clicked on any link codes, and that sale was like for $37. Result

well, i am kind of taking the ethical view, but i'm also reassuring myself that surfers in the long run would appreciate me never having popups and skims so i'm hoping there will be a higher bookmark ratio too

Consoles sucks.No good from them.

vvq · 09-26-2006, 01:24 PM

Most affiliate programs offer console and console free options. Don't see any problem.

Dirty Dane · 09-26-2006, 01:27 PM

One innocent popup on a paysite does not bother me if its credited, but it bothers me ALOT if they redirect other opened windows, especially my own sites. I have already dropped/did not signup for programs because of this. Maybe others think the same, so they probably gain less than earn if u calculate the loss of potential promoters. If they have options, then its cool though. Freesites with pops are not cool.

dcortez · 09-26-2006, 01:28 PM

No consoles, UNLESS it's a single pop-under (not hell) and ALL the links have affiliates codes - ie. your sponsor working for YOU to help YOU make more sales for them.

Gillespie · 09-26-2006, 01:29 PM

No consoles for me, thanks.

Besides, how did they become "consoles"? These things are straight up popups. =P

chipmunk · 09-26-2006, 01:30 PM

I have no problem with consoles if your ref ID passes thru! I do not consider that a leak personally, as it is another outlet to make money, that normally would have been lost.

Just my 2 cents!

This debate could go on forever!lol

rigrunner · 09-26-2006, 01:39 PM

I hate them, when I pick sponsors I try to avoid them...

Unfortunately I've had the odd sponsor who's been cheeky enough to pop an advert for another site without my ref codes as soon as my surfers have hit the tour...

I don't mind so much if there's an exit pop on the join page providing I get credit for any sales on it.

I'd hate to send my surfers to popup hell.

eeek double post.
