Unblockable Pop-Ups - Impact Pop-Up


I've moved all of my blogging activity to The Lucid Blog.

Impact Pop-UpSome people have turned their nose up at this because of the bad reputation pop-ups have and to be fair, a year ago, I probably would have felt the same.

But the truth is, pop-ups of the style offered by Impact Pop-Up are not pop-ups in the traditional sense and successfully avoid all the things that frustrate users. For example:

1) Opening new browser windows:

This is an annoyance because they get in the way and use system resources.

Impact Pop-Up avoids this problem becuase they are embeded in the web page and DON'T open in a new browser window.

2) Distracting:

Pop-ups often annoy users because they get in the way of reading the website.

Impact Pop-Up can easily avoid this because they can (and should) be used to direct the users attention to the purpose of the page they are reading.

Think of it as an alternative, and very eye-catching, form of headline.

If used properly, Impact Pop-Up does not annoy your visitor but, instead, adds an attractive element to your web page.

Here are some examples:
