Those pop-up 'OMG PLEZ LET US EMAIL U COOL TIPZ' interstitials always let me know how much the site owner knows about marketing and branding.

The fact that you think they don't work is even more revealing...

That depends on your metric of 'work'. By the same metric, buying email lists from spammers also 'works'.

You are wrong, and I don't mean to sound insulting but it seems like you are making these comments on theory and not on experience.

I have multiple sites with pop-ups that see outstanding open and click-through rates, it's not even close to the same thing as buying an email list (which doesn't work, as you pointed out).

Can we please not do this: a) as a top-level comment b) for people with a spotty comment history c) as a matter of course for everyone who is hellbanned I don't want to say this guy deserves it, but he does have negative karma, and his comment adds nothing to the discussion. Looking back, he's only made a few, similarly negative, short, non-constructive comments. Maybe you made a different value judgement than me, bu…

Please kindly advise where I should be posting this if I can't reply to [dead] comments. This guy hasn't said anything that deserves a hell-ban.

Thank you for your comment.

Some people should sue some other people for deliberately wasting their time.

Back to sanely moderated sites without conflict of interests nor 15 yo-minded mods...

How does getting people to voluntarily sign up to receive emails about a topic that interests them compare AT ALL to buying scraped emails?

On what are you basing this on? I know very knowledgeable marketers use them and I can guarantee you that if they were not performing they would have removed them.
