The Reasons Why I Like Pop-Ups
- Increase audience focus on a particular page.
- Increase sales and conversions.
- Gives readers something to look at when first entering a page.
The Reasons Why I Don’t like Pop-Ups
- They can be annoying if your a returning viewer.
- Webmasters sometimes use them to the “excessive” point.
- It looks ugly. (My preference)
However, in the end, pop-ups really out weigh my dislikes about them. Simply because not only do they offer straight cut content for your new readers to read, it generally sparks sales and leads once you have some killer content already set up for your newer audience. I’ll start to talk about when pop-ups begin to harm sales.
Knowing When Pop-Ups Can Harm Sales
Once you have your first pop-up installed and you begin to think to use even more add-on pop-ups like under pop-ups, tab pop-ups, peel aways, whatever, that is really when you are starting to dilute your site’s reputation. Of course pop-ups can be really cool with their flashy sales pitch, however, the most pop-ups that I believe a general Blogger should use is about 1, and that can still be annoying already to viewers. Having your visitors to press about 3 ‘X’ buttons the moment they visit a page, is not really the way to go, and probably doesn’t fit Google’s idea of quality in their guidelines either.
In my opinion, Internet marketers and sales pages have a different stance on cleverly incorporating pop-ups to their advantage. They have a wide range of pop-ups that they can use at one time, without it really seeming “spammy.”
- Exit pop-ups
- Talk to a live speaker pop-up
- Normal pop-ups
- Peel Away Ads
But that is just my opinion on sales pitches and blogs. What do you guys think is the “excessive” point for a blog and a sales pitch in terms of using how many pop-ups? Think of John Chow’s blog for an example of a blog using more than one pop-up. Do you think it is overly aggressive or is it just perfect?
