Feedback to Pop-Up Advertisers


Jakob Nielsen lists the kind of ads we hate the most in The Most Hated Advertising Techniques.

I especially like the feedback to give to web sites that use pop-up ads: "You people should be ashamed of yourself! I did not ask to have 3 pop ups come across my screen when I visit you. I do not visit singles sites, and I don't want to add 4 inches to my penis. As a matter of fact, I don't use any of the services that pop up on my screen. I think it is disgusting that you money hungry bastards have infringed on my computer for your own selfish gain. From this moment on, I am boycotting you, and I am advising EVERYONE I know to do the same thing. Down with you and your pop up ads."
