   Well.. put it this way. If the first thing I see on a blog is an ad or a pop-up window, I'm not coming back, ever.

   Ditto. And I also find music very distracting.

   I don't like it.There are pop ups that can crash your computer. Sometimes these pests have spywares so it is not good to visit sites with pop ups. You can always customize your browser to block pop ups.

      Pop-ups and autoplay music - I hate them both. If I experience either on a blog it's the kiss of death - I click out never to return again.

   I hate advertising on blogs and pop-ups are the most annoying kinds of advertising ever. I normally use a Firefox browser with AdBlock Plus & a popup blocker, and like 47.1% of others on the net I don't see any advertising. When I use IE if I see an excessive number of ads on a blog and/or any pop-ups at all I click out never to return again.

    I don't like them either. I use the foxfire add on ADBLOCK PLUS and it keeps all the flash and pop ups from working, I love it.

    The same way I feel about pop-ups in general. I feel scammed, and I leave. Blogs are supposed to offer information first and foremost.

    As expected, a resounding response from bloggers with the same views on pop-ups as myself.
    
    Anyone care to put up a defence for this practice?

    I really dislike sites that have pop-ups. They are annoying and take away from the content of the site. I usually leave the sites immediately when pop-ups appear and rarely pay a return visit.

    I can tolerate SOME popups... IF they are FOR the site - or something about the site - MAYBE...
    
    I have ONE Top Banner Popup that can be disabled and ONLY shows to first time viewers...
    
    It's for my toolbar... but I can't see it - so I don't know if it is annoying or not... LMAO!
    
    I've seen it on other sites and it's barely noticeable on them
    
    I don't like BLARING HUGE NEW WINDOW POP UPS - or pop ups for ANYTHING except for the site.
    
    I hate - CLOSING POP UPS.
