While it is true that pop up ads can be intrusive and annoying to most surfers, so much so that some of them often go to great lengths to avoid them.

It has clearly been proven by the very successful use of these pop up ads to harvest email addresses at many sites.

You do not want to annoy the vast majority of the rest of the visitors to your site with constant pop up ads that are difficult to get rid of and thus greatly hinder proper access to your site.

Another even more popular way of harvesting email addresses is to offer free software or software on free trial basis. Or even offering a free e-book, e-report, web book, e-course, or e-zine.
