It's the MOST annoying advertising on the web. Surley advertisers have realised this? Do they not realise most have pop ups blocked?
nah, most computer users are still just email and maybe search google...they are illiterate to popup blockers and other functions...besides, if they didn't work, people wouldn't use them...
Actually what they realize is apparently something you don't.... Especially considering you just said most people have pop-up blockers as if you actually knew what you were talking about. I make low to mid $x,xxx per month with pops and I personally know people who make A LOT more. I guess in the end how annoyed you are by pops doesn't actually matter much.
I have trouble believing pop ups actually work. But if people are willing to pay that much for them I guess they must
Pop ups actually go for a low rate (pay per impression) its much cheaper than adwords but it is a huge waste of money!
