We all hate them, yet there’s no way around them .. sometimes. Well, actually sometimes they can be even useful. What if you are programming a web 2.0 site and want to create some neat popups that explain how this or that works? Popups can also come in handy if you want to make sure that visitors to your blog don’t miss any important information.

Anyway, after looking around I found two solutions. From now on, I’ll always differentiate between the “Blogger solution” and the “Marketeer solution”. If you don’t know why I am doing that, I suggest you subscribe to our mailing list and grab your free eBook.

No worries, I won’t add any popunder to this site. However, a pop under is still a good marketing strategy for some sites where you want to make sure that visitors don’t miss that very special offer!

Most of the scripts you will find on the net are blocked automatically by Firefox and IE7+8.
It’s a bit sneaky to be honest and I recommend to use it rarely and only if you are sure that visitors don’t know what popunders are. This script will send out a welcome message your visitor has to close. When the visitor does that he allows the browser to load the pop under beneath the current windows. Smart, eh?

I’ve found the script on this site:

I’ve been using Aweber for a while and they are definetly a must have nowadays for any real webmaster.

However, I think Aweber is doing their best to loose as many clients as possible.

First of all they increased the price to ridiculous high amounts. Any smart person knows that there are Aweber PLR sites, which still offer the old price e.g. Profollow (ProSender sucks they have the new price).

Then today I noticed a major flaw (I almost freaked out). Your fancy aweber scripts makes the internet explorer crash. Can you even imagine that? They are in business for 10 years+ and they make your sites crash. Ridiculous. Sorry, but I’m very disappointed. It was sheer luck that I noticed it and I already lost tons of visitors because of that.

Errors:
Javascript error: “Object not found”. (IE8)
Javascript error: Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site Operation Aborted. (IE7) – Some sources say Kontera has the same problem.

Luckily, I do not give up that easily. I found a workaround for the second error.

Add this to your javascript code:

defer="defer"

It could look like this now:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://forms.profollow.com/form/xx/xxxx.js" defer="defer"></script>

What is Javascript “defer”? Defer explained

If you want to retrieve various URL parameters without using PHP you can also do it via Javascript.
