The cmlibrary (the local public library, I am not affiliated with them), uses a bar across the top of the page to ask for their annual survey.

At Ithaca College, we did a quick user survey that employed a pop-up. It was up for a couple days and then I took it down because we got an email complaining that it was annoying. By that time, we already had about 150 responses, so we actually got some decent data, but I don't plan on using a pop-up again.
