Pop Up Domination & SEO

JimmyWrex · 06-29-2011, 02:36 AM

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of adding the Pop Up Domination plugin to one of my high ranking sites but I'm worried that it may effect the ranking as I rarely see very high ranking sites using it. I imagine that's because it's pretty tacky and TBH I don't really like it but my optins are low for this site and my conversions are VERY high for anyone who does opt in.

I could easily make an extra $500 from this site if I could just convert 2% of the traffic into subscribers.

So any idea how it works and whether Google would even be able to see it on my site in order to penalize my rankings? I'm sure it's fine to do but I just dont want to risk what I have and end up regretting it.

Thanks,

Jimmy

I think its much more likely that sites which are using pop ups aren't very strong SEO wise and thats the reason they aren't ranking well.

Try using a lightbox popup within the browser, never use another window, I've seen sites that use popups ranking high so it is possible, I don't think it helps, exit popups can hurt rankings, entry popups may have a little negative effect, however with strong on and off page SEO i think this shouldn't be a major issue.

Hey John can you show me what you mean by a lightbox popup?
