Want to Increase Your Blog Readership? Kill that Popup! By Anne R. Allen
Shares with us the unvarnished truth about what readers think of all those pop-ups on your blog.
I agree with Anne.
Here is what I think of pop-ups!
Not gonna keep reading if I have to hunt for a tiny X to close a damn box. Or worse, fill out a form just for the privilege of reading your page. Note not gonna happen.
Ads are not so bad as long as they don’t pop up and obstruct the post. Although I have allowed WordPress to put them on my blog, I’m still on the fence about them.
So stop with the sign-up subscription or buy my book, pop-ups, please.
What do you think?
Agree with Anne? Or do you like them?
Can’t wait to hear your answers. Leave them in the comments.
Please stop by and say “hey!” I’ll leave a light on.

Detest them. Love all of Anne’s posts. 🙂

Thanks for the shout-out! I’m glad to see so many people agree. Now to get the people with popups to see they are not only annoying, but pointless!

I hate pop-ups. I know my opinion is in the majority. Yet, there are some people here in cyberspace who just cannot seem to live without having them on their sites. I have unsubscribed from informative blogs because of the pop-up issue.

Me too. Just can’t deal with them every time I click on their site.

I hate pop ups. To sign up for my newsletter, readers have to click a button–the same for my blog.

I agree with you. I don’t like popups and they turn me off when I just want information from a site. I do use a ‘sign up here’ reader magent landing page on my web site but have a clear ‘no thanks, enter site’ button on it for those who’d rather not.

Sounds a lot more reasonable than a big old square in the middle of everything.
