Are Pop-Ups Doomed?
from the will-everyone-suddenly-become-enlightened? dept
Here’s yet another article wondering if pop up ads are doomed. The question is a little silly, because clearly some companies are finding value in pissing off their potential customers, while publishers don’t think it’s a bad idea to annoy their own users. The problem is that uncreative people still think that interupting people is advertising. I don’t think that these people are going to realize any time soon that effective advertising doesn’t involve pissing off people, but providing them with something they want – whether it’s entertaining or informative. Shoving useless and annoying crap in front of people isn’t good advertising.

In a word...Yes
So AOL and Netscape will kill all popups but their own, EarthLink will kill all of them, all Linux users have been popup free for some time, Opera users can kill them, and countless windows/mac users who are running popup killers, a ton of people either currently don’t see them or won’t shortly. Good riddence.
