is pop under traffic any good?

Hi
There are lots of companies offering huge traffic volumes for your website quite cheap using pop under techniques. Are they any good?
Please post a reply or email me

I'd love to know too!

I've just bought two small packages, offering 5,000 visitors on each one. I thought I'd start with the smallest volumes so that I could see how it goes.

One of them works with pop unders & the other by redirecting visitors from related sites where the domain has expired.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks :eek:

Well, I've received all my traffic & have exactly 0 sales from it!

So, that would appear to answer this thread - unless anyone has any better experiences & can recommend a particular company???

You have to ask yourself if you like popups, popovers, popunders, poptarts yourself.

I don't. I think they're annoying and frustrating for users.

Pop unders should not yield too many results as it was not what the customer had clicked on and the traffic is not targeted. You can invest the money in a CPM or PPC campaign as you are able to target the exact traffic you are looking for.

Pop under is one of the worst means of advertising... Most people hates pop-ups..and have them blocked in their browser.

I tried a 3k campaign with pop unders and stooped it after 500 quid. First i got a lousy number of leads from a very high number of pops and second I got two complaints from end users. it might be good for casinos or poker rooms but for any thing else its just expensive and gives your product a bad rep.
