you are talking about two totally differen things. You can't compare a TGP to a membership site. A TGP will get repeat vistors every day and bookmarks, a membership site will be lucky to get a small amount of people to come back again whether you have popups or not. Just to make it clear i am talking about popups in the free area of the site not the members area. Lets just say that your membership site gets 10% return traffic (example). Let's say 1/2 of them are uptight and wont come back because there was a pop up when they exited your site. (i doubt the number would be that high but for the sake of arguing...) So you are sacraficing 95% of your exit traffic to try to make 5% of them happy, in the hopes that some of those 5% might actually sign up when then come back the second time. You losing money big time. At least from my results, and it seems logical enough. I am not some noob either, been doing this for 7 years and generated well over 5 million in sales. So my "results" should have a little credibility as well.
