I put this up a few days ago and all of these stats have gotten slightly worse, probably because the surfer isn't liking the popup factor.. my traffic also went down substantially, I think because many people are x'ing out because of the popup and they never get a chance to view the site and get skimmed to trades.
For now I have edited it so that it won't show on the FIRST site load, but if they reload or visit a 2nd page it will show once per 7 days.

you def have to use it wisely. if you have alot of return visitors you can always set a cookie for 7 days that does nothing , then use the script after 7 days , return visitors wont see anything only new surfers. It is always going to be a tossup, you may get less overall traffic , but it might be more productive.
p.s. make sure to target any links in the overlay to a new window.
also it might help to make sure to let user know they will only see the message once ( and make the NO THANKS bigger or an image )
