do yourself a favor when you have a new site or hardly any traffic

[TheButcher]

Seriously do yourself a favor when you have a new site or hardly any traffic, don;t add 1 or 2 pop-unders to the new site. It really does no good to you. If you have a new site with no traffic and are looking for trades it only reduces your chances, if you have 10 or 20 hits a day to the site what do you think a pop or 2 (and I think 2 in this day and age is too many) makes you. I'll guarantee you it makes you nothing, it reduces the chances of book markers and return visitors.

I see this trend picking up lately, webmasters starting out with a new site have a layover ad, one or two pops, like take it easy, get traffic first. If you are Pornhub then yes a pop will make you money, if you are Mr 1 it or even 20 hits a day, don't bother.
Not mad or anything but I keep seeing this way too often lately and wanted to say it because every time I say it in private, I get back some dumb reply I can make money with it. No you can;t. You need real traffic to make money today,not a few hits a day at best.

Very good point, a pop-under comes later when you have real traffic not on a new site.

Totally with ya on that one Butcher, its a newbie mistake.

Popups and popunders in general are not as effective as they once were,too many browsers do not open them up like before.

Newbies will over saturate their first site with banners, pop-unders and every thing under the sun hoping to make that sale.

If a site gets under 10K a day hits adding a pop under is not worth it to me. I have it on a few of my large sites and still make very little sales form them.

My understanding is sales off pop-unders is rather weak, so I am avoiding adding one to my sites now.

I was that way when I was new, packed the page with banners all over

There is a time and place when to use pop-under period.
