Help with optin popup - best choice ?

[siteflip]

Hello Warriors,

I have an info product on the health niche (ADD disorder) with the typical one page sales page. I would like to start collecting emails by adding an optin.

I will add an inline one. Depending on the site's design where in general is the best place to put inline forms? (top left above the fold?)

Now, my big dilemma, and a lot of research has not helped, is the following:

=> Should I add an additional optin pop-up? Is the, hopefully increase of optins, worth annoying some visitors? I know ... the ETERNAL debate! But many CB products do it. <=

If yes, *which* type should I use? The following options come to mind:

Exit popus: I like the "exit" pop-ups since it doesn't bother the visitor till they actually want to leave but they are one of the most annoying.

Floaters: Are they "illegal" for AdWords? grey area? <-- ! important !!
I intend to add a 2-3 second delay.

Slide-ups: The new kid on the block. Less obtrusive but still annoying.

What is your experience with them and which do you prefer?

Maybe direct me to some link or post? I have browsed around and did not see too much info comparing all methods especially in combination with inline only.

Finally, where can I get code for them? Does Aweber provide it? (no account yet)

Thanks in advance for your valuable help!

Try a free version first before buying. Some of mine stopped working with Norton Antivirus activated.

I use Faster IM on my online home business blog and it is getting results.

FasterIm isdesigned for wordpress, so not sure if this will be suitable as you don't mention the type of site you have.

I'm using Ultimate Footer Ad. It's not very obtrusive and looks great.
