Popup Killers - Not just killing that Popup but alsoWritten by Jason Hulott
With increased use of popups on sites - when you enter, when you leave, while you are there - Popup killers (or stoppers) are all rage. Companies use Popup killers as a marketing tool for frustrated webusers - they kill Popup, webuser uses their service be it as an ISP or Toolbar. New ISP Disks, Toolbars, and Browsers all now come with some form of Popup killer. While we all want to stop frustration of having several popups being delivered while surfing around web, to webmaster a Popup killer can totally kill a site's normal functionality. ** What do I mean? If I said rename a Popup killer to a Javascript killer, (which is how some Popup killers work), then you wil get gist! With some SEOs advocating hiding links that they don't want a search engine to spider or to hide affiliate links within Javascript functions, having a user visit your site with a Popup killer enabled could kill more than that annoying Popup. It could mean that when a user clicks on your apply button or affiliate link, it won't work! The user can click on it as often as they like. It won't work!
