What's simply astonishing is that anyone is even using pop-up ads at all in 2011. Research by the Norman/Nielsen group has shown that not only do consumers *hate* pop-ups, they transfer that hatred to the product. What's more, they also transfer the hatred to the site on which the ads appear. This has been known since around 2003. I can only assume they're counting clicks rather than sales. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
