Exit Splash and PPC (Adwords) - Is it Allowed?

I've been coming across a lot of PPC landing pages that are running that
Exit Splash (exit popup script) on the page.

I thought Google, MSN, and Yahoo don't allow that.

Does that script get around their "pop-up" sensors?

Anyone else in here use it without any issues from them?

    From what i know it not allowed, but from memory in text pop ups are OK and by that pop ups that are closed when you close the page and not ones that hold the viewer to a message.

    I may be wrong on but thats my understanding at this point

    That' swhat I thought too, but I see them everywhere.

    I know that it's just some javascript with a full html page that you
    paste into your existing page you want to run it on, but I'm surprised
    to see so many people using it without any issues.

    Maybe someone who has or still is using it will jump in here and let
    us know what the story is.

    Thanks

    Pop ups of any kind are not allowed. From the guidelines and policies:

    We do not approve landing pages that generate pop-ups when users enter or leave.


    We consider a pop-up to be any window, regardless of content, that opens in addition to the original window.


    This includes pop-unders, timed or intermittent pop-ups, mock system warnings, and pages that automatically initiate a download.

      "in addition to" is the key. If a new window opens, it's not allowed.

      Slide-in (dhtml type) pop-ups are allowed.

    Not sure if it helps but I'm sure that a simple script that recognizes that the traffic source is adsense can disable your popup but all other traffic is subject to the popup.

      I've used it on paid traffic without any issues! I have a free package that you can download here: jasonmcmurray.com/exit

      The package comes with a squeeze/sales page and the Exit Splash Script and the page that the Exit Splash Script takes you to.

      It may be against the search engines policy but they do not enforce it, at least in my case and in the cases of many other products that I have seen.
