You're going to want to subscribe to my RSS feed. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread - even better, in fact. You know you want to.

Take a look above. don’t those pop-ups just look wonderful? The beautiful, rich coloring and flashing images are sure to please anyone - what’s not to love? Pop-up advertising is one of the great American pastimes: you can’t go wrong.

FRUSTRATION WITH CONVENTION
Many well-known programs like Google Adsense pay you on how many clicks your ads get. As you know, no one even looks at ads anymore - they blend in like zebras with your site content. Many people, myself included, have often become frustrated with this performance based payout. I want all of my visitors to be little money making machines and that’s that. It is basically guaranteed that your visitors will see the pop-ups (unless they’re using ad blockers - we’ll get to that later) and thus they make more money.

WONT POP-UPS SCARE AWAY MY READERS?
Why are you even asking this? You want readers?

Anyway, pop-ups are universally loved. After all, they’re used on many popular websites and people still visit those. Just check out that picture. The person who took that screenshot had at least 16 popups opened; they must enjoy them!

WILL IT MAKE ME MONEY?
I’m glad you asked. Actually, I’m not (it makes me write more content), but I’m obliged to answer. In short, yes. Popups are great sources of revenue since you’re paid for every impression.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN POP-UPS
Looking for the perfect company amongst the multitudes that offer pop-up advertising can be quite a challenge - much like finding a needle in a haystack but without the dirt, sweat, or arm surgery when the pin is driven into your bone when another competitor “accidentally” bumps into you…

ANYWAY, I’m kidding about the toughness. There are about as many well-known companies as I can count on one hand.

Tribal Fusion: Tribal Fusion generally has very good rates and a pretty rockin’ name.

PayPopUp: PayPopUp pays for pop-ups (hence the name). Its logo also sort of looks like if the E*Trade logo got stretched out and inverted.

Adversal: Adversal offers up to $1.20 per 1,000 pageviews. Not only that, it’s advanced “technology will evade most pop-up blockers…” Allow your readers no quarter!

Casale Media: Casale Media is one of the most infamous of all CPM (cost per thousand) ad networks. I don’t quite understand if the Casale stands for anything, but it sounds like a mean casserole/ale hybrid.

There are a few more, I’m sure, and if you feel they deserve mention then just leave a comment!

THOSE PESKY POP-UP BLOCKERS
Pop-up blockers are pretty much used by everyone now. I’m not sure why (ads are an important part of a healthy diet), but there is no easy way to combat them. I suggest putting so many ads on your site that at least one of them will break through this ad barrier. Or it could just destroy your readers computer. Either way, this strategy works. You’ll be much more appreciated because, hey, pop-ups are fun for everyone!
