First, you should know that we're not talking about a new window opening - it's not that type of "popup", but instead a DHTML-type flyover. Second, I sometimes put a message in there depending on what I want to do. In one case I point out what a piece of crap my competitor's offer is (it is). In other cases I'm pointing out benefits that aren't clear or that they can claim an unadvertised bonus when they contact me after buying.</p> PS – I’ve been using a tool like this in other ways that don’t always involved an optin.

Remember that when using an IP you have control over which pages you send people to - you don't have to send them where the affiliate link defines for you. In other words, skip the squeeze page and go direct to the sales letter, the order page, etc. I would never advise asking for an optin, then having them see another optin request on a merchant site. Of course that'd be annoying. I agree with those of you who have concerns about visitors seeing multiple popups.

I prefer to just replicate their page, get rid of their pop up scripts, etc. & put in mine, & plug in an IP in the process :) it does take longer, but I won't have the visitor getting confused by seeing two optin boxes.

If a merchant already has a popup, wouldn't a second popup showing up at almost the same time infuriate the person you're attempting to sell to? Two popups showing up like that would seem to be a sure fire browser closer when the clueless twit see that happening...and thinks it's some kind of spyware. Either that, or I'm missing something. -Floyd That seems like a tatic that could backfire.

I've owned it for awhile it's not really new. It is a excellent script but actually affiliate list controller is a resell rights product od popupbandit.om.

This doesn't outrage me in the least. The affiliate is the one sending the traffic to the vendors' sites. Why the heck shouldn't the prospects be on the affiliates' lists. What "does" outrage me is the Vendor who sells to the affiliates' referrals on the back-end, without giving the affiliate a piece of the back-end action. My own affiliate program has always given my affiliates a piece of the back-end (70%) actually so, it's more like, the lion's share of the back-end. This product is good for affiliates. It could actually work in the favour of cheap-assed Vendors too, who would normally not have the support of affiliates like me, who have stopped promoting for Vendors who don't properly compensate the affiliates, who are making them all their money. My 2 cents (CAN). Mark Nope! This doesn’t outrage me in the least. The affiliate is the one sending the traffic to the vendors’ sites.

This script/technology is not new, I came across one 1-2 years ago. I do affiliate marketing most of the time. But as a small product vendor as well, I'd love you to send me the free traffic and I'll cherish you like gold! Unless you're really doing something that wrongly represents us, I don't see anything wrong with that. Alfred Agreed. This script/technology is not new, I came across one 1-2 years ago.

If I'm outraged by anything it's all of the outright thieves in IM who can't come up with an original idea of their own. Or maybe, I'm just upset that my own sense of integrity hasn't allowed me to clone someone else's software and call it my own . . . not yet. Maybe I am getting a little tired of playing the game "the right way" and it's time to cash in regardless of who likes it.
