When I've read Google's comments about popups, it's sounded to me like they were talking about popup windows -- new browser windows or tabs that open up and stick around after the visitor has left your site. The "unblockable exit popups" I'm talking about are hover ads -- basically floating windows within the page itself that are made visible when someone's about to leave the page. So when they move to another page, the "popup" is gone. And they don't block the visitor from leaving the page the way JavaScript alert popups do. I've never noticed a page of mine that had exit hover ads getting hurt in search results or AdWords. Since I'm not a Google insider, of course I can't say definitively that it couldn't happen, but it hasn't happened to me. Vanessa,

I know Google frowns on pop-ups in general, so does an exit pop-up like that have a chance to damage your SERPS? Great ideas here – I do have a question though on the unblockable exit pop-up.

I made some good experiences with surveys. I asked visitors why they didn't order (a free trial) and gave them 6 or 7 questions to choose from (plus a free text field). Depending on their selection I sent them to a page covering this question. At the end I offered the free trial again and I got lots of conversions from these pages. thanks for this valuable post.
