Use Pop Ups to Increase Blog Subscribers?

    I was just thinking, if I had pop ups when my blog loaded or as people were leaving that said, subscribe to my blog or bookmark my blog or something, do you think that would increase subscribers and traffic?

    If so, how would I make pop ups. I see a lot of pop up creation programs for sale. Any good ones? Anyway to create them for free?

    I Find those very annoying personally. If I like a blog, I'll subscribe to it on my own, I don't need a popup reminding me. Just my $0.02.

    I agree with Remotay. Popups are annoying and will get you less traffic.

    agreed with the other two commentators here. A popup would actually drive me away from the blog, it would just be annoying!

    This could be good alternative of pop ups.
