Default Popup, popunder, hoverover, or inline

What do you like the best.

personally, i dont care for hoverover or inline ads, they are annoying and to me somewhat sneaky and i think that it irritates people more than anything. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

I am not a fan of the moving, or "flying in" opt-in forums. To me they look needy, and since they pop-up right away they distract the visitors from reading the actually website!

Cheers,
Emma

An exit pop-up works well. It gives the visitor one more chance to opt in to your list as they are leaving your site.

I like this one as it's discreet and won't put the
reader off from reading the information, that you
are displaying on a webpage...

http://InstantSlideUp.com

Check it out, it's pretty cool. Very non-distracting.

Looks a lot more professional too.

Hope that helps you out and perhaps a few other
Warrior Forum members too.

Best regards.

Too many people have popup blockers. I prefer inline, and have a catchy graphic pointing to the optin form.

Nothing annoys me more than pop-ups of any kind, bit I have three different pop-up blockers running and noscript firefox plugin, so I rarely see them anyway.

Also, more annoying than pop-ups is voice audio or video that automatically plays when you land on the page.

I hate the voice things. Or the one where the minature actor/actress walks out from the side.

I cant say that i really like the page intro that has the robotic image/voice for 'customer service' on the page.

I hate these things.

But I hate more the fact that they really work well.

I use fly in opt in forms because they work better then other formats I have tried. Test one way for a month. then try a hover fly in ad.

Guess which one gives you the most sign ups?

I've seen footer popups come up on a site where the designer left space for the popup such that the footer popup didn't block anything on the webpage. It was eyecatching and did not interfere with the message.

Rob, how do you make those? I asked Aweber if they had one in their stock set of popups, no such go. :-(

I think users are most tolerant of traditional 728x90 or 600x160 banner ads. You can use flash to make these ads expand when moused over.

I make the most money (per impression) off of interstitials or hovers, but users hate those. They'll leave your site.

I saw something really cool today when I was looking for a free way to put up an exit popup on a wp blog.

It's called Ultimate Footer Ad v2.0

It was cool enough that I put it on my wish list of priority purchases.

Well, this is quite cool...

I started working on a Footer Ad Script project a few weeks ago, and by seeing the response so far of everyone's current favorite style of opt-in/slide-in/ad, this sure gives me the kick in the butt to put the finishing touches on it and release the sucker...

Sooo...

Does anyone want to Beta-Test my soon to be released Footer-Ad Script?
It's going to be released with open source/resellers rights licensing...

You can take a peek at the demo here:

Affiliate Niche Monster - Footer Ad Demo

Send me a PM if you are interested in Beta-Testing...

Jared

P.S. Working on a Wordpress Plugin as we speak...

Do you dislike Exit Popup scripts but love the increased conversions?

This is for YOU >>> Unobtrusive Footer Slide-Up Ad <<< Coming VERY Soon!

Just had a look on the site the dpopup system is possible to use with Aweber although I use mine with listmessenger which is free for 200 people and then a one off $50 fee for unlimited list.

I couldn't agree more. I personally only use inline. It might not be a strategic move, but I try to exclude anything from my websites that annoys me when I look at other people's websites. Anything that flashes an optin box in my face is incredibly annoying.

Popup, popunder, hoverover, or inline
IMHO, asking "popup OR an inline form?" completely overlooks a solution that often works best: both.

As many have commented, some people just don't like popups. I don't like them. I close them without reading them most of the time (unless I'm looking to learn from them or critique them).

But assuming you want to try a popup... why should you not also have an inline form on the page? After all, someone who instinctively closes a popup might still be an appropriate prospect later (after they've read/viewed the content on your page). No inline form, no lead capture, no good.

Are you saying you don't care for a form embedded directly in the page itself (inline)?

I feel like you must mean something else, because unless you're completely against list-building at all you would not likely find an inline form to be sneaky or annoying.
