> I don't like them either, but I don't mind putting up with them on *this* site, to help out Sam a bit. One a minute would be nice, actually -- I get one every ten or twenty seconds.

> Sam, *do* you find a noticeable difference in site revenue with the pop-ups? What about traffic? I've always wondered if the extra revenue with this type of advertising was enough to cover the loss of traffic from pop-up haters.

Pop-up ads account for 60-75% of my advertising revenue. But here's a hint: use Netscape, and you won't get any pop-ups from RinkWorks at all. I have no idea why this is.

Barring that, here's another hint: don't close your browser. The number of pop-ups you get from RinkWorks is limited based on browser session. After a certain number (I forget exactly what that number is, but I think it's high single digits), you shouldn't get anymore. Not sure if the counter resets after 24 hours.
