Warningpages.com as exit link

MrYum · 2005-12-02, 10:33 AM

Just reviewed a site last night that had warning pages as their exit, but was using a slightly different mouseover. I clicked it to check the exit...and sure enough got trapped. A quick double click used to work...until they really nailed this sucker down. Had to close the damn window...which of course was the window the site being reviewed was in...three guesses what happened to that site

I'm with you Surfn...haven't done so yet...but it's getting very tempting to add a new rule about using warning pages. Trapping the damn back button like that really frosts my balls

Yea, did pop up again didn't it Greenie

Is it really necessary to have an exit link? I rather just state that the surfer should "leave now" if they don't agree with the warning.

Exit links are NOT necessary and are potentially a reason to get rejected or even worse banned.

Better yet, is it WORTH it? Stats whores wake up! hehe I mean, can anybody say with great certainty that
(a) surfers actually DO click that exit link? (not me, if i'm going to bail on a site, it's ALT+F4 or [ X ])
(b) If anyone does actually click exit links, is that traffic of any quality?

Be interested to know what you all think... I usually just piss that link away at a search engine, figuring that fewer than 1% of surfers actually click it anyway... Thoughts?

I have a small group (seems like) that all exit to warning pages. But it seems lately that they are using a domain name when I click over the exit button that leads to warning pages. Then I get trapped and have to exit all the way out. I'm on to them now and just delete them.

Regarding the back button. I would have replied earlier but I didn't know about this thread. Thank you Emerald for sending it to me.

I just fixed the problem. It was caused by a script we had running that helped us moniter traffic. People would go from site a consumptionjunction.com > link.php > linkings.com if you are on linkings.com and hit back its only gonna get to link.php then its gonna push them right back forward. That link.php had a real function for us but it isn't worth losing traffic over so we removed it from the equation.

All should be working fine now. Anyone can hit me up directly at rick@dollars.com if they have questions or problems.
