Blog Popup windows
I can understand that people want to make a little money from publishing their blogs. Most blogs you see have Google Adsense inserted in a column along the side, and it isn't uncommon to see other products featured in the same or opposite column. What I do mind, is popup windows... especially the DHTML ones that cannot be blocked and are set on a delay so that they appear when you are trying to read the content.
While browsing my RSS feeds I found a story I wanted to read and clicked the link which loaded the blog in my browser. By the time I got to the second sentence, a DHTML popup floated down from the top (offering 3 free eBooks for signing up) and interrupted me from the article.
I felt this was an annoyance I could live without. Although I have a great deal of respect for the author of the blog, and his marketing knowledge, I removed the RSS feed from my reader. I would like to think this won't become a trend.
How do you feel about popup windows on blogs?
