Re: Manipulating Popups
Well, as much as you may believe people want to leave a page unmolested, the stats prove you wrong. Popups of all sorts actually work to bring in revenue. Why else do you think the porn industry uses them so much? If they didn't work, nobody would use them.
However, saying "thank you, please come again" is the same as having a person standing at the door to the store saying the same thing.
Now the reason many are going to exit popups vice entrance popups is the PPC industry which won't allow landing pages that open a popup onload. However, they don't stop popups created other ways. So the industry is shifting and we have to keep up or lose out.
Besides. If a customer says "make me a popup" and they are paying me for it and it is not illegal, immoral or whatever, then who am I to say "no"?
Anyway, what I'm trying to do is exactly that. The button is clicked to go to the checkout and it calls a javascript that redirects to the desired page. It also tries to block the popup. I'm almost to the point of having it close the popup as soon as it opens.
