Now I know exactly what route to follow with my blog to do something about the embarrassingly high bounce rate I'm faced with.My current theme is a big part of the problem, but the pop-ups will now go out the window with the theme. I hate pop-ups myself. Why did I install them? Must be because I was told it's more compelling than an opt-in box and serves a purpose resembling a squeeze page... Anyway, I agree. They are horrible and they must go.Thanks for the post! I was actually in search of a new theme for my blog, stumbled upon Vybe (which I think I will get!) and got the bonus info about the irritants.

Blogs, by definition, are meant to be perused. Enforcing an opt-in, within 5 seconds of landing, seemed counter-intuitive.What I can't agree with is opening links in a new window. I have my browsers set up to do this, by default, as I was weary of the goofy back button. (smile)Something you didn't mention, which will drive me away from a site, is "noisy" banner ads. I don't mean audio noise. I mean scrambling gif banners that distract me from the content that I'm trying to read. If a page is too busy, it isn't for me.Nice post.

Nice post.
