Sins on the net: pop-up windows

One of the most annoying things a surfer may encounter while surfing the Internet is the pop-up windows. There are several types of pop-up windows and all of them, without exception, are annoying, disturbing, and cause much more harm than good, both to the surfers and to the website owners. Although the pop-up windows are not among the most serious and harmful sins that exist on the Internet, they are without a shadow of a doubt one of the most annoying that we encounter in our surfing king

The phenomenon is familiar to every surfer - new windows of the Internet browser, which suddenly "pop" on the screen, without anyone asking for them.

When we surf the net, we make our way through a tangle of bits of information, websites and links that can be extremely confusing. We want to easily get from place to place, we mainly want to get to where we wanted to go, and only there. The amount of sites on the Internet is huge, the sites compete with each other for the attention of the surfers and their money. When we finally entered a certain website, the website must be simple, clear and interesting so that we will be convinced to go deeper into it and return to it in the future. There is no better way than pop-up windows to convince surfers to do the opposite.

The pop-up windows are designed to advertise websites or products for purchase. The idea is simple - if the surfer has already reached my website, why not
Throw him some small advertisement, give some exposure to the products I'm trying to sell. Let's face it - no one
Love those windows and no one reads what's on them. Most of us close the window even before its content is up, some of us
The little one does not close the window but simply ignores it.

These windows are usually loaded with heavy graphics, which burdens our bandwidth and slows down the site's upload speed
We wanted to surf. Sometimes, when entering the site, not one new window pops up, but two windows, three windows, or even more!
The only thing the site surfer will decide, as a result of these advertisements, is to never return to this site.
There are enough sites with similar content.

An even more annoying phenomenon is the pop-up windows that pop up when leaving the site. At the end of browsing, when you close the browser, an advertisement window suddenly opens. The climax is when when you close this window, another window opens, and another window, and so on. In extreme cases, the number of windows is so large that there is no choice but to turn off the computer.

The windows that open when entering the site are annoying but understandable, the pop-up windows when leaving the site are even more annoying
but also clearly immoral. Imagine yourself entering a large shopping mall. Children waiting at the entrance
Advertisement brochures for stores and products that can be purchased inside. After quite a few efforts, you finally manage to pass
past them and go inside (you crumpled the leaflets, by the way, and threw them in the nearest bin). Annoying - but acceptable.
When does the phenomenon become unbearable? When the children attack you again at the exit, they run after you to the car,
They shout and throw the advertisement leaflets at you.

There are several other types. Pop-up windows that move to the background by themselves without hiding the website we surfed to - that's true
Doesn't hurt the browsing experience, but still puts a strain on the bandwidth. There are windows that minimize themselves, and open too much
A few minutes - just as annoying. Another and most annoying type is flash advertisements that open inside websites to them
We browsed - they hide the site's content, they cannot be ignored, they are usually accompanied by annoying noises and are extremely difficult
It is possible to find the X button to close them.

It is important to note that the phenomenon of pop-up windows is not a piracy crime. Sites that contain pop-up windows do so by choice.
No one forces it on them. The owners of these sites are harming the enjoyment of the surfers and the popularity of their own website, since most surfers will avoid dealing with such windows at all costs.

A word to the website owners - the Internet should be a source of information and pleasure, not a source of frustration and nerves. Pop-up windows cause frustration and nerves - don't use them! If your site is hosted for free with a provider that requires pop-up windows, move the site to another location. If you want to advertise your products, don't do it through pop-up windows. There are enough legitimate (and much more effective) places to advertise on the Internet without boring the net on surfers.
