4. You could tell them freebie is only available to a limited number of people. For example, " Our free software will only be available for next 100 people that download it."

5. You could give more details about freebie. List benefits, features, what problems freebie will solve, etc.

6. You could describe your freebie to sound more attractive. For example, instead of "free report" you could say "free never released top secret document"

7. You could list testimonials for your freebie. Most businesses don't give testimonials for their freebies. This would defiantly increase your freebies value.

8. You could tell people how many people have already receive your freebie. For example, "15,000 people have already subscribed to my free e-zine! Can they all be wrong?

These are only a few ways you can add value to your freebies. You could be creative and think up some other ways to increase perceived value of your freebies. Also test each idea to see which one draws most traffic to your web site.

Even though I wanted more information about what person was offering, I left. I was greeted by another pop-up which I assume came from some kind of exit exchange program. When I deleted this page I saw another flash indicating another pop-under from person's website that I had been redirected to through exit exchange.

Confused? It's beyond confusion. I want traffic as much as anyone else but direction of marketing is quite irritating to be honest.

Will Mark Joyner's new pop-under program be a success? Probably. Will there be mass numbers using it? If my email this morning is any indication, yes.

When pop-ups first came on scene, people talked about how irritating they were. Yet, they have proved to be a very effective marketing tool. I was a sceptic for quite a while but when I finally caved and started using one, results were amazing.

Though I don't use one, I have talked to many who use exit exchanges with great success as well. I am sure pop-under pages will be no different.

I do think that some are pushing envelope too far. Using one of these tools can prove to be quite effective but I think people will tire of websites that have multiple windows popping up.

Which type of program is most effective? I have no idea. Should you be using one or more of these traffic programs? I think they probably all have their up side but this is one of those situations where I think less is better.
