Newsletter pop-under / Good or bad idea?

  #1  
Jul 18th, 2003
I know many people are against pop-unders, but I decided to give it a shot...
(I hope this is not concidered spamming, but I can't find another way to do this...)
Could you go in on my homepage at www.appsoftheweb.com and have a quick look at the pop-under.

Is it good, or do you think it hurts my "image" to have it as a pop-under?

How would you do it if you were in my shoes?

Personally I think it looks scammy-looking. Especially where it says you'll receive "A Beginners Guide To Starting a High-Income Business On The Internet" ... that sounds like Internet garbage to me.

Well duh!

The only people that make money out of these crappy scams are the advertisers. People who put compulsary ads all over their site are cheap and overly commercial. *cough* Dani *Cough*

I personally hate/dislike popups to the max, it gets by my pop-blocker sometimes. Many visitors are drived away like this.

Sites like sitepoint.com have popups about their newsletter, I believe.

I went to your site and the color scheme looks very good. I don't like the google ads on the site though. I think that google ads take away from a site's professionalism. The pop-under did not show up when I closed your site. If you want it to show up you need to find a way around the popunder blockers.
