PopUps & PopUnders - Love or Hate?

Personally I can't stand sites that have popups or popunders but I was curious to get other peoples points of view on this.

I know that if I visit a site and get any type of popup or popunder I close out the ads immediately without looking at them.

 

Hate so much.

Although they they do seem to work for newsletter signups on blogs, I haven't tried it myself as I hate them so much.

 

I cant stand them. Very annoying........

 

if done right , I can stand them. Overall if its a site needs the funds to continue to work, then i am okay with it.

 

I do think if the popup is presentable, then it won't be that annnoying... I wish someone can make a really cool ajax exit pop-up script.

 

Well, I hate them myself, and I'm pretty sure the view is pretty mutual throughout internet users, hence popup blockers

 

they are very annoying but they have been around since the internet, most people will not even look at the ads, they just think to close it. However they still can bring in some change

 

Popups are just the source of income for website's to keep the website alive we should atleast wait for 2 seconds it is not much and it earns much for them

and dont worry much about popups

 

Popups (and unders) are so 1999.

 

HATE HATE HATE HATE

I wont visit any site again which ever has a pop-up...its likely that i will not visit any site again which has a pop-under...but unless its a very important site...NOT FOR POP-UP THO...

Popus + popunders = The hell of the actual hell

 

That's the way That will teach site owners that popups are counter productive. I do the same.

 

I hate them with a passion, but I have to confess I've found a couple of useful services on them. I guess it's just about targeting, if you like what you see, then great. I do have a limit though, I steer clear of sites that pop several windows up or under at once. This is frustrating as it slows everything down too much.

Another pet-hate of mine is sites that slam my browser up to full screen. In fact, I hate any sites that try to control how I like to view the web. I have a 20" screen at home and never want my browser at full because there's no need.

 

If a site has a popup or a popunder, its doubtful I will ever go back.

And its really doubtful I will even bookmark the site.

There is no reason to have popups on a site, except for the money. And that shows how much the owner of the site cares about visitors. Websites that drive visitors away from a few extra pennies are not worth visiting.

 

I hate both popup and popunder. It seems like enforce visitor to read the ads
