Do You Think Popups Are A Bad Thing? www.bpsite.tk

Recommended Posts

Well, do you? I think as long as you only have one or two, then they can be ok (but they still bug me).

to me they are always bad. I hate pop ups and even pop under. I hate ads in general. I hate to close them one by one everytime it pops up and I hate the ones that open full screen and I have to press CTRL F4 to close.

I hate all kinds of adds, they disturb me...When there's a nice tasteful and not very big add on a site then ok, but popups and popunders are really annoying..Especially I hate that kind of stuff which pops up and asks if i want to download something, if i say 'yes', then it says that I must clock yes to view site.. this thing has occured to me here, at Xisto too...

Essentailly, any pops that are generated from your site will drive away visitors, so always go to the small textual ads if you ever display ads on your site. I think ads all together are bad, as they derive from the content of the website.

I also hate popups when im trying to do find something out on the internet especially on my nans 56k internet connection from her pc the popups just slow her pc down so it take more time to do find something which should only take like 5 minutes take somthing like 10 - 15 minutes because of popups. it gets on my nerves so i instaleld mozilla firefox on my nans instead so i dont have to use microsoft internet explorer because it is so crummy. on my pc i have mozilla firefox as my web browzer and i ahve popup stopper running so if one doesnt stop them the other will ;):P

I also really do not like popups. I really hate the ones that flash different colors. Its painful to the eyes... I also dont like any with noise. It can really get annoying, especially if you keep getting the same popup. But thanks to a popup blocker I dont see very many popups.

I don't think pop ups are bad. I think they're horrible. Especially when you have adware and alot of pop ups pop on your screen and you try closing them but they keeping popping up and the stupid computer pop up blocker won't work very good and these download things comes up. whatever. pop ups are no good. I think its just the dumbest thing people invented. No body wants to view pop ups.

Agreed. Popups are really stupid and no one ever pays attention to them. Once I got one that said I was the 7389254th visitor, then I reloaded the page and got one that had a lower number. <3 Firefox's popup blocker.

i think popups are simply there to annoy people. a banner is one thing, but a pop-up, especially the kind that take up half the page as in yahoo geocities, they really make you want to shoot someone. thanks to firefox i haven't had hardly any popups annoying me. IE was a popup nightmare. and then you'd hit these nasty ones that would open up 40 or 50 windows and wouldn't let you close them, so you had to kill the whole set of IE processes. aaaahhhh! Thank God Firefox came along!

Pop-ups are pretty annoying, but that IE thing you're talking about isn't a pop-up...It's some sort of error in IE. If it weren't for pop-up blockers (Such as Firefox), I'd be really annoyed. Pop-ups are also a waste of money for the advertisers. Most people don't even click them, so why even bother placing a pop-up on your site?...Well, you still earn money if they pay you for pop-ups. Pop-unders are also a big pain, though...
