Popover And Peel Away Ad Software Alternatives
There are many different software options available for bringing to light particular products, third party websites, or specials to the visitors who come to your website. In the pioneering days of the world wide web, banner ads were all the rage. This quickly led to banner blindness with most websurfers.
To save the day came the first evolution of pop up programs. These worked by initiating a framed second browser either behind or over the page that your visitor was busy reading! Unsurprisingly, the majority of people found these pretty annoying, and the counter-attack came from popup-blockers, which soon became commonly installed on the most popular browsers and browser toolbars.
Then a new evolution of dhtml popups came into existence. Rather than opening a fresh browser window, these would overlay a popup note, hover ad, or fly-in ad within your existing browser session. They are less annoying and much more difficult for popup blockers to detect and zap. They also come in many varieties: from sticky note popup designs, to fade-in lightbox overlays, to slide in and fly-in windows. They can be attractive to the eye as well as very versatile, allowing you to embed audio snippets, optin forms or a video right into the sticky note popups.
Software continues to evolve of course, and the newest evolution of attention generating programs allow you to add peel away web ads to the corners of your webpages. These are far less intrusive than even the newest evolution of popovers, and yet they obtain a good response rate from visitors. A Peel Away Ad example can be found on the following page about Hans Jakobi, advertising the Success University website.
There are multiple webpage peel ads programs available. Some are better than others. The more rudimentary programs only enable you to show a small 500 by 500px peel, and when clicked, they open a new browser window by default. The more fully featured programs enable you to choose between 500 by 500px and larger 600px by 800 ads, enable you to choose whether they will open a new browser window or not, and will enable you to place scrolling text over both your small animated peel as well as your large peel back image.
The most affordable program which has all of these advanced features is PeelAwayAds.net version 2. At only $17, it is actually a package of four scripts. One for 500×500 pixel dog ear ads, one for rotating and split testing your dog ear ads, one for affiliate promotion, and the version 2 script for the 600px by 800 peel ads with scrolling overlay text options.
