How many popups is too many?
 

When creating a paysite tour, how many popups is too many?

In other words what's the maximum amount you would have pop?

Just 1 is too many :2 cents:

1 that offers a trial if they decide not to sign up for a full membership is plenty. If they close that window, they should be immediately redirected back to the webmaster.

1 is too many, I personally think. :2 cents:

popups suck ass

Okay, this leads me to the question:

Do popups on a site cause you not to promote it?

Popups make money

Todays fashion seem to be blur 1 immediately then 2 or 3 in an exit chain.

I don't like popups, but exits are okay if you only have one, and it doesn't spawn any more.

I'm planning on 1 blur enter console that spawns 3 more chained exits..

No pop ups/ popups suck :eatmouse

enter consoles suck

1 clean exit is ok

Pop up consoles make me money. Until they don't I will use them everywhere that I can! If you don't use them you are leaving money on the table!

One.

I'd use exit only, 2 unchained or just 1....without popups maybe nice, but why let people leave your site without another chance to make money ?

Popups fuck up everything.

:eek7

2

1 popup on exit is okay I think
I use one myself
3 day trial on exit

Anything more then 2 is just pissing people off..

:eek7 :eek7

I think maybe one pop under or one pop up:2 cents:

If you have to use one, don't pop it until they try to exit the site. Don't piss them off when they still might pay for a membership.

wrong! they should be sent back to the site that sent the hit to the webmaster....afterall isn't it THEIR hit?

hmmm.. what if the hit comes from a gallery, a bit pointless to send the surfer back to the gallery isnt it?

One clean exit-popup is ok

the most effecive we've found is one exit with a blur and another exit off the blur with a small console exiting off that....


actually, one of our best days was when I fucked up the exit code and it just kept cycling between the same 3 consoles (no way of exiting beside shutting off javascript, rebooting or clicking a link)


hmmm, maybe we should go back to that ;)

I prefer an exit to a pop-up.. How does that "HOT LIVE SEX" tiny little swirl do? I get that all the time

LOL. Noted. :)

Once a surfer leaves your site or my site, they are no longer our surfer.

Blur a small popup like the one ARS uses on load, then hit them with a large one on exit.

I know

I was kidding with the guy who wants his surfer back after sending it to a paysite ;)))
