I have seen a lot of these and I hate them.

Hey Iike this, how can I do this?

thanks

Kidino said [17 October 2005 @ 8:15 am]

formula3G - Thanks for the honesty. I guess it’s because that it works that I (and others) use it.

Wayne - Glad to know that you are interested in this. I hope I can have everything ready this week.

Yeah, this one really looks nice. Well done.

I look forward to the instructions.

Kidino,

I like it, and look forward to seeing how you did it. Also thanks for the DIYMiniisites. Alot of my friends were very appreciative of it.

Peace,

That’s great for thepublisher but you are going to ahnoy the hell out of your visitors. Why do you think people use pop up blockers in the first place. I would advise against it.

Kidino said [17 October 2005 @ 3:27 pm]

Hello Blogtonomy - thanks for the input. Well, the way I see it, you can use it ethically or you can abuse it - just like any other tools in this world.

I like using pop-ups but you don’t see me over doing it.

And I hate it too when you got lost at some p**n/warez sites that keeps pushing new pop-ups one after the other. And you have to click it away one by one.

But I don’t think that you can really do that with this type of DHTML pop-ups (which is really not a pop-up). Even if you can … you are just one click away from throwing it all away.

Oh … and BTW … you can’t really make exit pop-ups with this. So no new pop-up will appear after closing the window.

Teresa said [17 October 2005 @ 8:22 pm]

Kidino,
I’m interested in how you did this–
I think it’s ridiculous to pay a monthly fee for this, as with “Focus Generator”.
I look forward to the info.
Thanks. :)

Richard said [18 October 2005 @ 10:54 am]

I hate pop-ups too, but have seen a couple like this, but don’t agree with the price they attach or monthly subscription they want!

Take care, have a super day!

You are AWESOME for Sharing this code with Us!

I am REALLY Looking forward to getting the code to do this.

Thanks.

PS. Congrats on Iman Crawling!
You’ll be chasing Her around trying to catch Her before You know it!

Jay said [18 October 2005 @ 10:58 am]

Hey Kidino,

I know many people don’t like popups, but they do work. This type is less obtrusive and as you said before are nothing like the annoying popunders, or exit popups. These are actually are more like a part of the page than a popup.

I think this is a great tool. Can’t wait to give it a try!

Jay

Edward Gause said [18 October 2005 @ 11:02 am]

Kidino, I like this one as well as the one you sent earlier this week (still trying to figure that one out) but I especially enjoy your gloating over Iman! I’m the same way about Trinity who’s 5 years old now.

If you only knew what you’re in for. I’ll never tell!

Magi said [18 October 2005 @ 11:03 am]

Hey Kidino,

Great work, I had a look at the refs you provided but couldn’t understand enough to follow to build it yet.

Just want to congratulate you on your marketing approach. You take something, use it yourself, and then teach people with skills less than yours how to do it in simple language. This is providing real value to us your subscribers, and I must say it is refreshing compared to the approach of most “gurus”.

A pop-up is a marketing tool, and can be used judiciously or maliciously. You demonstate how to do it and set an axample of how to use it without upsetting people.Thanks again.

Peter said [18 October 2005 @ 11:08 am]

I like the pop up.
I’m wondering if you could use the technique to create a real “post-it” style message board or note pad or a visual “bulletin board”

Al said [18 October 2005 @ 11:08 am]

Looks good. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Are you still considering a training program for x-site templates?

Jim said [18 October 2005 @ 11:46 am]

Very cool. Any way of making this drop down onto the page after a couple of seconds? And any way to make it movable, like off to the side if someone wants to just move it? By slowly dropping in I think makes it maybe less obtrusive? I guess some people will hate it no matter what, but thanks for sharing this with us.

Wentzel said [18 October 2005 @ 12:21 pm]

That is just awesome. Good on you and thanks for all the great information you give. Can’t wait till you release the code to use.

Thx

Kidino, my man!

Love it or hate it, pop-ups do work. And you’re right — people won’t mind it so much if it’s used ethically. If you’re offering the code for free, you are heaven-sent. I can’t wait.

By the way, I’m inviting you to submit your articles at my free article directory at http://solidbytes.com

May your tribe incease!

Patty said [18 October 2005 @ 12:46 pm]

I like it! It is not obtrusive at all and I think it happens so fast on the screen, it looks like part of the page. I have never used traditional pop-ups as I think those are annoying, so I would be very interested in knowing how you did this.

Thanks!

Patty

Jestine said [18 October 2005 @ 12:55 pm]

Thanks for the wow pop up! Hope to increase my newsletter subscriber.

That’s a neat looking popup. I can’t wait to see how it’s done and use it on my site.

Take care and continued success.

Hey Kidino,

Great pop up. They work. I’d be even more interested if it could either drop down or appear after a few seconds. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the code!

Best to you and yours,
Randy

Roseanne van Langenberg said [18 October 2005 @ 2:26 pm]

Great job, and how timely. They are all the rage at the moment and certainly have the desired marketing effect of “commanding” attention.

..And this will be the perfect tool for your current project in building another list.

So kind of you to share this so freely. I look forward to doing a post on it in my Blog.

…best
Roseanne

Paul said [18 October 2005 @ 6:00 pm]

Hi Kidino,

I must admit to being far from a fan of pop-ups … especially those that move and shake across your window! They may well ‘work’ but most are intensely annoying from my point of view.

This, however, is something else! Being both eye-catching, unobtrusive and easily removed, this is something I would use!

Many thanks for sharing it with us.

Paul

Excellent popup, is there ability to put form information in it to use to capture names and emails?

Congrats on Iman crawling, we have 5 kids ourselves, my wife’s site is at http://www.thesevenofus.com/.

DebbieB said [18 October 2005 @ 11:06 pm]

This pop-up doesn’t invade at all. Very nice of you to teach us to do it.

As to Iman: just think…now that you’ll be home you will probably see her first step as well! I really really enjoy your ‘proud papa’ updates on little Iman. They’re so refreshing after an inbox full of nothing but IM offers.

WayneLVN said [19 October 2005 @ 12:17 am]

Kidino, this is great and you will get a lot of people wanting this. I know that one of the shortcomings of Armand’s product is that it can’t be used as a “name squeeze” vehicle like Tracy suggests. Would be tough to do IMO since it is a graphic but nonetheless if anyone can figure out how to do it, the product will go thru the roof.

Peter says it would be good to integrate with a “post it” style bulletin board. If you are in to forum-type marketing phpBB has a style called noteboard in which using these types of popups would blend seemlessly. You can see it at one of my old “dead” sites that I had to stop while starting to create XSP sites. :) It’s:
http://www.etoolsandsolutions.com/geektalk/index.php (just look for the forums) Using a postit popup on this most certaining would not look out of the ordinary.

Also, for the rest of you to know, these types of popups are called “instant Attention” and not “Instant Detraction.” That’s why you don’t want them flying in like other types of DHTML pops. They can appear with a delay as well as disappear at a timed interval but you DON’T want them flying in like normal square boxes as that defeats the purpose of them. Think about it for a minute. You never see real life “post its” flying in, they are just there to grab your attention.

I’m using Armand’s product on some of my blogs. It really does command attention without being annoying. I’m really looking forward to seeing the progress of this thing.

Wayne

Chris Moore said [19 October 2005 @ 6:16 am]

Hey Kidino. I wrote a short blog post about this about 1 month ago. I link to an article that discusses how to do it:

http://www.keyliberty.com/2005/08/30/an-even-easier-pop-up-ad-idea/

A pop-ups-for-dummies tutorial is needed though, as the article I learned from required knowledge of HTML and graphic design.

Edgar said [19 October 2005 @ 6:21 am]

I like you’re popup, but I like you don’t like it when you go into a site and you cann’t read what the site is all about with all of the popups.

I want to know how you did it too.

It looks good and neat.

Edgar

Yoon Ho Um said [19 October 2005 @ 7:39 am]

Hi Kid(ino),

; P

It’s pretty. I like these kinds of pop-ups, much more interesting than the plain and Boring run-of-the-mill pop-ups…

I have a membership(monthly fee) to a site that has a lot of templates(really cool ones) and then a little while later you see Armand Morin “copying” and selling his own software(one time fee) to make these types of pop-ups…

God Bless,
Yoon

Very nice done…. i love popups that cannot be blocked!

Tom said [20 October 2005 @ 11:37 pm]

I, like a lot other people don’t like pop ups but the simple reason they are still used is because they work.

I’m also trying to get to the point where I earn my living online so to be honest I’m looking forward to the code and I will use it.

Kep up the great work.

One word : GREAT !!!!

sandnc said [21 October 2005 @ 2:09 am]

Hey Kidino,

Truth is I HATE normal popups–but I actually like these!
They blend in, sort of, and are unobrusive. I’ve seen this sort called ‘Post-It’ popups, and I’ve been wondering how to use them on my own sites–so you’re right on time!
Glad to be on your lists.

Tammy Burkhart said [21 October 2005 @ 5:23 am]

Great tool by far! And I “greatly” disagree with all those who said stuff like “why do you think people have pop-up blockers…etc etc”, this is really NOT a pop-up! It is part of the page itself.. maybe rename it? How bout something like a “stick-up” instead lol? This is like having a note stuck to your desk at your outside job, non-abtrusive. And I think it will go over very very well. Am looking forward to directions.

Gaele said [21 October 2005 @ 6:48 am]

I love the look and creativity
I personally don’t like pop ups but think the idea may be developed into something further

wayne said [21 October 2005 @ 12:14 pm]

Have you posted the code yet?

thanks

Stephanie said [21 October 2005 @ 12:37 pm]

Kidino,
I’ve got to tell you, you have the perfect combination of personality and information to make you a raging success on the Internet (and everywhere else!). I can’t wait to get my emails from you because I know they are going to be packed with information, along with very interesting tidbits about your life. You are like a friend I invite into my home - and that is what every Internet marketer strives to be.

Can’t wait til you share the code - it’s an incredible service and because you are always so generous with information, I will always buy from you! Thanks Kidino. . . . Stephanie

Anita said [24 October 2005 @ 12:49 am]

Hi Kidino,

I don’t mind popups if they’re related to the site they’re on. I’ve got one on my author’s page on my author’s site at http://www.NovelsByNeenah.com so people will sign up for my contests. I’m trying to decide how to use them on my other sites.

Used a trial version of an expensive program to generate mine. So this is great. Yours is as terrific as theirs–better because it’s free!

Looking forward to seeing your progress on the new one.

Anita

Hi Kidino,

This is super.

One problem though, Video 3, which shows us how to edit the js isn’t working correctly. I was only able to view a couple minutes and it stopped. The page never did completely download.

Looking forward to getting this set up.

Raza said [10 November 2005 @ 12:06 am]

I have something similar, cheaper and better :)

trevor said [16 November 2005 @ 11:19 pm]

Raza, The post that you made above is neither friendly nor nice.

Personally, i think that advertising a competitive product in this area is very sharp business practice and perhaps frowned on by many in here.

For any who may be interested, Raza’s product is similar, but is NOT cheaper ( 49 USD) nor can I see any competitive advantage after having read his page.

Kidino, i would put a rel nofollow tag on Raza’s link so that you don’t potentially/inadvertantly bleed out PR or give Page Credit to a direct competitor.

Warm regards
Trevor Weir

Raza said [26 November 2005 @ 3:56 pm]

trevor,
There are competitive advantages to it .

1) I give 1 free custom popup. I have in house designers ready to make per your specifications.
2) I give a lot of designs for free along with every download.
3) Its a lot easy to do something with mouse clicks and wizards rather then going through all the tutorials etc.

Regarding competition, i think kidino is not selling it as a product, he just posted a simple tutorial to which i replied back .

Thanks

FreddyG said [30 November 2005 @ 1:32 pm]

Hey Kidino, is there a way in your code to make the target URL from clicking the popup open in a new window? I tried to put ” target=”_blank” ” into the code where the URL goes (between the ‘ and ‘ there) but that did not work. I guess it’s not formatted right for that…

Anyway if this is not hard to do and I just made some stupid mistake please let me know how to do this. If it needs something else to make this work, maybe you can do it in a future version of your code?

Thanks :)

Tim said [3 August 2007 @ 10:07 pm]

Kidino, I noticed that you stopped posting on this page. I really would like to know the answer to the following question:

is there a way in your code to make the target URL from clicking the popup open in a new window?
