There are many different software programs available for highlighting particular products, specials, or third party websites to the visitors who come to your website. In the pioneering days of the Internet, banner ads were the popular choice. This quickly led to banner blindness on the part of most websurfers.
To the rescue came the first generation of popup software. These worked by opening a framed second browser either over or behind the page that your visitor was busy reading! Unsurprisingly, the majority of people found these highly annoying, and the counter-attack came from popup-blockers, which soon became commonly installed on browser toolbars and the most popular browsers.
Then a new evolution of dhtml popups came of age. Instead of opening a new browser window, these would overlay a popup note, hover ad, or fly-in ad within your existing browser session. They are less intrusive and much more difficult for popup blockers to detect and zap. They also come in many varieties: from sticky popup note designs, to fade-in lightbox overlays, to slide in and fly-in windows. They can be attractive to look at as well as very versatile, allowing you to embed optin forms, audio snippets, or a video right into the instant popover notes.
Software continues to progress of course, and the most recent evolution of attention generating programs allow you to add webpage peel graphics to the corners of your webpages. These are far less intrusive than even the most recent genetration of popovers, and yet they obtain a good response rate from visitors. A Peel Away Ad example can be found in the corner of the following webpage about Hans Jakobi Australia’s wealth coach, promoting the Success University website.
There are several webpage peel ad creator programs for sale. Some are better than others. The more rudimentary ones only allow you to show a small 500px squared peel, and when clicked, they open a new browser window by default.
The more fully featured ones allow you to select between 500px squared and larger 600×800 pixel ads, allow you to select whether they will open a new browser window or not, and will allow you to place scrolling text over both your small animated peel as well as your large peel away ad. The most affordable program which has all of these advanced features is PeelAwayAds.net version 2. At only $17, it is in effect a package of four scripts. One for 500px squared peels, one for rotating and split testing your peels, one for affiliate promotion, and the version 2 script for the 600×800 pixel peel ads with scrolling overlay text options.
