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.

http://www.secretwebriches.com 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!
Have a look at this one:

autoresponder e-mail address below, send a blank
e-mail and you'll get it sent to you in seconds.

The most important thing is to use your creativity.
What kind of a twist could you add with them that will
increase your subscriptions and sales?
