Becca 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Naa I swear this website has pop ups... or either I have ad ware or spyware what ever.......Anyways whilst I was playing on crazy closet a pop up...POPPED UP and I could of got into 3rd place...oh well...I don't think anyone likes pop ups especially all those porno ones that come up when your on a mp3 downloads website. Anyways people only have pop ups because it gets more taffic for those it is advertising...And for those who are advertising is getting money....So it helps both sides as well as not help them...I find them really annoying and I normally get to the point where I can't do anything whilst madly clicking [X] trying to close all of them....

Goosestaf 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 Banners are more likely to be clicked, by accident or intentionally.But then again sites with lots of advertisements look cluttered.Pop ups can be blocked, are enoying, everyone hates them. BUT they don't get clutter up your website and are easily clicked by accident, and they can give alot more info in the advertisement to attaract possible interested clicks. both have their advantages and disadvantages, but i personally try to avoid Advertisements. But if i do ever use them they have to look good, be classy and give some useful info., . . not big flashing banners with graphics like a MS Windows windo Saying "CLICK HERE!!!" .. . . . soooooooo tacky n nasty, same with the "Free screen saver" ones on this site*And Bexa, you probably have spyWare or a trojan on ya pc. There arnt any pop up adds on this site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeXDesigns 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2004 I also try to stay away from ads, except the general 88x31 buttons, but even then they have to be representable, and not take away from my site (like those flashing ones) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roahl 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2004 i think most people on earth block the pop ups, so using banners is a lot betterMost people that are very familiar with a computer will use a pop-up blocker indeed, but people who barely understand a computer but do use it to surf te web and stuff don't even know (that's what I think) what a pop-up blocker is. So when pop-ups are used on a site like this (with lot's of "nerds"/people who are very familiar with a computer) it's not even worth it, because most of them are blocked. Above all, pop-ups lower the chance that a visitor will ever return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lipunuska 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 I preffer banners, they are more clear and with services like Google Adsense you can put the banner acording the desing of your site, and like some people said most people block pop ups Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krap 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2004 strange... i got a popup on the Xisto forum homepage. btw i think the new horizontal ads they dont annoy you when you read a post. @bexa instead if pressing [X] press Alt + F4 or use Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc in case you didn't know ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

X3r0X 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2004 I dont see how anyone could like pop-ups. I mean, most of the time they are lying like for example, how many times have you been the 1,000,000 visitor to a site? And how many times has it tricked you into thinking its a proper window instead of a pop-up?I hate them lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
