    Do they work?

    I personally hate them, and would never click on one, but has anyone had success with them?

    I used them on one of my eBook sites offering a $5 discount... increased conversion pretty well (two sales a day to five sales a day).

    Of course, dunno if the conversion would have increased if I removed the peel away ad and just offered the discount :p

    I actually don't mind the ads. They're way better than pop-ups and interstitials (from a "please don't annoy me" standpoint.)

    I agree with MT, they are way better than popups and they sit in the corner of the screen still allowing you to view the content you came to view.

    I find them very distracting because I always find myself wanting to "make the peel". But I don't click, I just peel and let go and peel and let go. I guess I'm too easily amused :p

    We are getting off topic!!!!

    Do they work? Do people click them? Do they convert?

    Just like any other ad, on some sites they do, on some sites they don't.

    Try one and find out.

    Why do you hate them?

    I have clicked them a few times. Definatly better then popups! If a website has popups I click out of it because they are really really annoying.

    Same here. I detest those little fuckers.

    Oops, did I say that?

    The peel-away ads are more interesting, curious, which will increase views.
