Well if you actually take your analogy, then think about this. When you go to the store, why is there a rack at the cash with candy bars, magazines, batteries, pens and all that junk? Because they might make that extra sale. Why is it that when you go to Walmart, there's stuff that you can buy when you're PAST the checkout line? Because they can make that sale.
I personally hate the pop-up hell. I don't mind a console in or a console out. But do not like a chain of popups/unders. I hate that, and it leaves me with a negative feeling of a site.
Would I use a console? Yes I would. I currently use a console on entry to run a quick poll. We did this because we did an overhaul of the site and wanted input from our fans. Now, we'll change it to an exit console once we've designed a proper one. No chain of pop-ups. Right now, we need to get the extra $$ because we still need more $.
As for Quiet, excellent. If you don't need the extra cash, and you don't do it cause you don't like them, excellent! That's the best thing. People leave your site, it's clean. It's not like some guy closed it quickly, and all of a sudden 5 windows poped up.
I hope that my income goes up there in your category and I can do the same soon! hehehe
