How do you avoid these pop ups? Simple. Install the plugin NoScript on FireFox. Then, block all scripts. If there happens to be a YouTube video or something like that on the page you can allow scripts from YouTube by left clicking on the NoScript box that replaces the video.

Personally I don’t care for this kind of promotion method, because I think it annoys users and just creates fraudulent leads.

Hope this helps some people out there.

Oh and for those of you wondering, yes I’m still alive I’ve just been busy lately, which is why I haven’t dropped on Entrecard. Actually, I think I might drop Entrecard completely soon, I just don’t have time for it. I’ll probably continue to do SEO tweaks though.
