Most browsers these days will block them anyways. A pop up free zone is more pleasing to a vistor. A banner or two in the middle or bottom of the page doesn't take away from the page. It might not be the fastest way to earn money from your traffic but it sure promote your site. And if you are successful and become a big well known site, you could sure sell off ad space or even the whole site for more that you could ever make with popups and search pages.



I agree, popups/unders are becoming about as effective as the telemarketers calling at dinner time wanting you to switch long distance carriers.
They are annoying and probably drive off more traffic then its worth.
If you have to resort to popups it may be time to re-think your business plan?

Cheers!
