Hi Micki, Use a little discipline....don't look and then thank yourself--"Yeh, I do not look". You can condition yourself. Or, you can just set some time aside to sit and look at the pop ups. Don't plan to do any work. Just be a pop-up tracker for a certain amount of time. You will learn ideas, meet new people, maybe join a forum. What does everyone think of this? First see how many are on line, pick an active time, and sit back and read popups. Like the subject, click on the forum, write down the owner and title and then return sometime later.

Hi Rose, That is a good positive statement. Many here are not on my friends list. Now that introductions have been made, an invitation will be sent. Why have 3,000 visited here. Many admit that the pop ups kept coming up on this subject and they became curious. Well hopefully their visit was positive as there is a lot to learn here from all these opinions.

Hi Gene, That's ok. Take it or leave it. However, if you have read here, you can turn them off.

Hi Again Mary, Well, I have been following this forum for 10 days now! A couple of things have become very clear to me. Pop ups at Adland interest a lot of people - this forum has 28 pages (so far)! The pop ups are not strictly adverts (those yes I loathe) - they just let you know what is going on in this big and mighty community, without having to check the forum list constantly. They are increasing activity at Adland for many of us and we are making lots of new friends through them. And I mean friends, not just down lines - it is a great way to get to know people. They are increasing our exposure within Adland and to those thousands of people on the Internet who look in. Kenneth the Blog King has given us timely reminder of why most of us are here -we came to get exposure for our businesses. It looks like it is working - forum posts are up, my personal visits, in and out, are up (and other people are reporting the same experience), on-line viewers are up, so.....Adland is up! My conclusion is that Bodgan has given us a tool here that is generating a new energy in Adland that is producing very positive results. You can block them if you wish, so we all win. Must go now - I've just spotted a pop-up from someone that I have been trying to find for ages...!! Saludos Jenny

Hi Jenny, Reading the last part of your post "Must go now - I've just spotted a pop-up from someone that I have been trying to find for ages...!!" got me chuckling. Are we starting to see a developement of a new lifestyle for AdlandPro members? Pop-up Chasers? Can this be happening? Stay tuned for more ... ;-) Happy blogging. __________ Kenneth R Sword Jr Co-CEO - Bizzy Blogz http://www.bizzyblogz.com Sponsor of the ABA Basketball 'Streetball' group "Nothing But Net Entertainment" http://www.bizzyblogz.com/NBNE/ New!
