What exactly is the 1/2 life of a popup? And when do you give up?
 

ok, popups make money. I won't dispute that.


but what exactly is the 1/2 life of adding an extra popup?

example ( and truly an example - not real numbers)- if someone gets 100 sales without popups, with one popup they'll get an extra 15 sales for 115 total. with 2 popups they'll get 15+ 6 for 121 sales total, with 3 popups they'll get 15+6+3=124 total sales and so on...

At WHAT point to do give up? or do you?

Thoughts............



personally i think anyone doing much more than 2 has absoluty no respect for a surfer, and doesn't know when to give up and move on.

at one point a company i worked for had 8... it drastically affected sales. two is good... first one leading back into your other sites then the second for top affiliates.

i run only one exit console, i would rather not annoy the shit outta the surfer and ruin them buying anything in the future...:2 cents:

:thumbsup

Yea once you get up to two, quit! I notice that more than 2 will just piss off the surfer!

Pop ups suck :BangBang:

-*- Until the money runs out :)

I would say about 3 , if you want to go any further put timers in the pages, so they dont popup right away.

i like the idiots who open up a never ending console hell that the surfer can't get out of without shutting down. That makes alot of sense :mad:

guarantee you half these companies haven't even done a valid study on their pop-ups and have no idea past the first two consoles what's going on.

even worse are the ones that crash your computer.


yep - that takes brains......

-*- WEGcash pops like 15 consoles :)

someone should LIST the urls of the major paysites out there and the number of popups you get from their top programs.

I'll start.


Adult Friend Finder - ZERO. :thumbsup
Streamray - Zero :thumbsup

please add to this list


Two MAJOR companies that HAVE a clue.

WEGCash are pretty scientific about their business so I am assuming that even that 15th exit console must be bringing in some $$$ or serving some purpose. Maybe they sell those impressions through one of these traffic brokers or something.

-*- Purecash.com only pops 6 consoles.

<big><big><big><big>ONLY?

maybe the amount of popups are relavent to how much they payout per signup

Braincash

Personally, I pop one full page exit console when the surfers doesn't click anything on my site.

I block all popups.

</font><font size="3">
-*- I was being faceteus :) No popups is sort of lame. Nastydollars is the best as they have only one or 2 popups and you are FULLY paid for them. Just as with the programs. So you get off-sales.

for a PPS program PureCash is very good with popups, compared to other PPS and even some revshare programs we are angels.
No time delayed shit hiding in the taskbar. Nothing gets opened behind the browser on entrance.

6 is VERY GOOD??

conversioncash has 1
quickbuck has 4 or 5 i think... but that's if you choose the traditional console option.. if you go with console lite you get 2.

-*- Not saying good or bad just stating the amount :) I have never used purcash so i dont know, nice looking sites though. I like a sponsor that allows you to turn off consoles for a reduce paycut or pays you fully for offsales from them.

Cecash has a good method So does nastydollars, Wegcash is ok too.

back to my origional question - you're a good one to ask as you guys usually have a clue and know what you're doing


what do you find is the half life of the 4 or 5 consoles you use? do they decrease with each popup? what influenced you to stop at 4/5? money? respect for a surfer? another reason?

just curious....

I wonder if maybe you get more click thrus but then you have twice the amount of pissed off customers who wont come back. I am going to try without pop ups and then with as an experiment.. I am curious to see

-*- 3-5 - Sympathy

We've found that the returns on anything after the second consoles are pretty negligble.

Agreed, the first console does very well, and the second does ok. But the third (and more) do nothing more than piss off the surfer. The click ratios drop through the floor after 2 consoles.

And, yes, this is based on hard numbers after running console programs for the past 4 years.

Lightspeed must agree with the 2 deep theory. Of course they bash the hell out of it. They do
2 on entrance
2 exits main program
2 on exit from the entrance pops.



Topbucks does 1 entrance and 2 exit. I see sales from these now and then so they must be good for me too.

I think i need to add some pop ups to my stuff. For those of us who filter, I normally jsut want them at the tour with no distractions but that is just me.

Imlive.com - 0 pop ups.

:glugglug

We do three.. all exit.. nothing on entry....

10% of the traffic is clicking on links on the thrid console....

well it's hard to measure that exactly.

but i'd venture to guess that the 2nd console is half as effective as the first, the 3rd is half as effective as the 2nd and there comes a point, around 4 or 5 where each additional console carries the same value as the previous ones.

I don't like pop ups. Well certainly not for all my traffic. Right now I have a redirect for my UK traffic to send them to an SMS messaging thing and its working out really well. I'll keep it for a while longer but not indefinate.

The only other time I have pop ups on my site is when I am feeding some traffic to my other sites.

WOW! I don't do 10% on the first one. i need to get my act together.

I agree 10% on the THIRD console, that's good. On average, we get 10% on our second console.

I love it when sponsors, like pornkings, have 8 or so on the tours linked from the webmaster area.

Nice!

if i ran a paysite i would use 2 on exit, thats it. i think a list of what pop ups sponsors have is a great idea.

-*- Bump out of the pit.
