Create Your Own "First Visit" Popup Window

It's a proven fact that the use of popup windows is a highly
effective marketing technique that produces great results.
However, they can be very irritating to your visitors. How
can you use this powerful marketing technique without
offending your visitors? Compromise and use a popup window
that only displays the first time your visitor enters your site.

Your first step in creating your popup window will be to create
an HTML document that will contain your window contents.
The key to using this technique effectively is to give your
visitors a reason to respond to your offer. For example, if
you're using your popup window to gain new subscribers to
your publication, offer a free gift just for subscribing.
This will increase your response considerably.

Below, is an example popup window that you can use to gain
new subscribers. It is set up with "tables" and will adjust to
fit your new window. Copy and paste the following code into
your HTML and edit as needed:

Save your new document as "popup.htm" and upload it to
your server where you store your HTML documents.

Your next step will be to place the following script, courtesy
of Brian Terry , within your HTML
after your tag.



Note: If you're unable to view the coding within this article,
you can find it here:

If you saved your new window document as anything other
than "popup.htm," you'll need to change the "popup.htm"
text within the script to your new file name. You can also
change the width and height settings to whatever you'd like.
However, make sure that all of the information within your
window is visible.

Popup windows provide Internet marketers with a great way
to gain new subscribers, introduce new products and
announce special offers. Their response rate is outstanding.
With the use of this great script, you can use the power of
popup windows without continuously nagging your visitors.
