I find this argument interesting: One of the main purposes for "popping up"
a window when nav leaves your site is to keep the site always visible -
better known this as "marketing". By keeping a site always around, the
viewer is less likely to forget about it, and is more likely to perhaps
purchase something, etc.
I have tried to fight this battle many times, and the result is, you can't
win. Why?? Because a successful marketing campaign generates money for the
customer, and isn't that why they (usually) wanted a web presence anyway???
Understood, but have these "marketers" ever tried any other marketing
techniques? Like using engaging copy, encouraging visitors to sign up
for e-mail updates, or offering RSS? There are other ways to make a
site profitable, some which are probably much more effective.
