I'm sure you've experienced this before... you visit a website
and a small window pops up out of nowhere asking you to
subscribe to an E-zine, or maybe something similar.
You might be wondering where it came from? Or think how do I get
rid of this annoying window that won't go away!
It's a love, hate thing...
Visit any Internet Marketing web forum and you'll find someone
talking about the virtues and pitfalls of pop-up windows. In
short no matter what some might say, love them or hate them they
get the results you need.
There was one article I read recently where someone received 78%
of their subscribers from the pop-up window used to promote
their E-zine! Others reported a tripling of responses!
The simple fact is pop-up windows get results. The question then
becomes how well can you use them without annoying your
potential new customer?
Keep things sticky!
I have something here that will help to keep your visitors
attention focused on staying at your website and not walking off
in frustration.
I spent ages trying to find a piece of Java script that fits
this criteria! now that I have it I thought it would be good to
share with you today.
It's easy to install... simply adjust a few words then cut and
paste the script into the body of your HTML code.
Do the twist!
What's great about this idea of pop-up windows is it doesn't
have to be limited to E-zine subscriptions. Use your imagination
to add any twists you can. For example it could be used to make
sure visitors know about any special offers you may have at your
site. They just click on a link and they are taken straight
there.
I use it myself to direct new people around my website. Click

In my opinion there is nothing worse than being bombarded by
pop-up windows every time you visit your favorite site. What's
great about this script is it only comes up once, the first time
a person visits your website, except with Netscape in some
cases.
Keep it real!
To get the most out of this technique you could position them
strategically around your website, not on every page of course,
but just here and there. Maybe each time performing a different
function so you don't appear to be over using it.
Pop up windows are not just limited to appearing when a visitor
arrives for the first time, you can get them to appear behind
the webpage and even when someone leaves. Just imagine the
possibilities!

The most important thing is to use your creativity. What kind of
