I run a FREE hosting site, that will remain nameless for the sake of my poor server, and on the entire site I have never places a single ad. I have never condoned the use of pop up adds, and the use of pop up ads in any way shape or form is strictly forbidden in my sites charter, and the TOSA. If I can serve based solely on 300 hits a day, and no ads then why dose the web need pop up ads? Pop up ads are offensive, and we should band together to stop the pop up, and pop under ad forever!
X-10, I know, according to Real admin@X10.com is my email address also, but here is the thing. You all know who X-10 is, and almost as many hate them. Why? You had to close their window about 9 million times. Now what if you saw it, and it went away? Wouldn't you like it a lot better?
Now I hear the advertisers in the crowd asking what will we do? If you must have more then the zone out banner ad, might I recommend the popular ad on news sites, flash. Take C|Net, please. On almost every page they have some kind of flash animation. The best is are the re-sizing ones on the main page. Because of the ad's shrinking nature, you can't help but look at it for the three seconds it takes up your whole screen, then is goes away, and at the same time, is catchy enough to be at least a little interesting. These are the ads of the future. Here so you have to see it, then shrinking away, so you don't have to close it. This is the main reason I like it the most. It is more eye caching then the pop up add, while being self removing, as to not be annoying.
