Does anyone use popup advertising on their sites?
I recently started a blog and it was suggested to me by a guru. I don't know much about it, but I would think more than one popup would get super annoying. I think its neat if it has something to do with your website or blog topic, but I just don't know. Anyone have any experience?
Heya Morningglory. Let's try to answer your question with a question.
How do you personally find pop-ups? Useability studies have shown that the majority of people find pop-ups annoying, and will often leave a site that has pop-ups. We have a client who insisted on having a pop-up - in an attempt to encourage visitors to chat - his traffic and conversions halved in a very short period of time. We removed the pop-up just on 2 months ago, and although his traffic is picking up, it is still short of where it was.
Oh, by the way, it was a Search Engine Marketing Guru that suggested he use the pop-up...
I used one of those seo guru sites to promote a website and promoted the same type site on my own. They did get me 100's of useless backlinks but I have double the traffic and triple the $$. I agree pop-up are annoying an use pop-up blocker on my computer.

Is anyone else as sick of these CloudFare "I am not a robot" pop-ups as I am? CloudFare is almost as annoying as Dell laptop touch pads than can't be disabled when using a mouse. They turn laptops into typo factories.

I recently read some reviews on Consumer Affairs, which were absolutely devasting and have got me a little worried. I was wondering if anyone else wrote at similar sites prior to HubPages and why they made the switch, and if they had thought about going back.

I read in someone's hub last night that they used Social Monkee to get backlinks for their Hubs. Social Monkee says that it gives you 25 backlinks every day for your page. Has anyone else used this? Is it reliable, and worth it? I'm currently trying to build up my backlinks, and I'm using Twitter,...
