QuoteSince my first EP has finally sold out, I am now going to make it available digitally from my site.
I had previously thought about the idea of offering the digital EP at a discount in exchange for signing up to my mailing list [instead of the free track(s)] thinking that it might not only boost conversions, but make more visitors into customers.
My idea now is to place an exit pop offering the 5-song digital EP for really cheap, but only that one time. But, if they didn't bite and came back to try again, it wouldn't show.
My question is, "Does this seem like a good way to use an exit pop?"

A discount is a fine way to use an exit pop. One other thing you might consider (if you get more physical copies) is offering the physical album at regular price and then offering the digital copy at half price via the exit pop. Just a thought.

Hey John,
Just want to say thanks for an excellent training and for the free script. Looking forward to putting it to use. I am interested in any ways to get more mileage out of paid traffic.

I've just implemented this on a blog page that gets 40-50 visitors a day, but typically only converts 1% of my visitors to subscribers: http://www.smoothjazzplace.com.....-all-time/.
First of all, I was wondering if you'd just take a look and offer an opinion of the page, exit pop, and redirect squeeze page in general.
Secondly, I'm not entirely satisfied with the way the messages work in Firefox. In my version of Firefox, the button on the next page is actually a "cancel" button if you want to "stay on the page." So I modified the Firefox message to say, "hit the cancel button on the next page if you want a free EP." However, there is a message displaying on the next page (with the cancel button) that is my text from the "all other browsers" message. I just find this potentially confusing/frustrating to someone who may have initially clicked away in the first place due to impatience. Is this a limitation with Firefox, or can the script be modified to not have two somewhat conflicting messages?
Thanks!!!

One more question...
We all know that exit pops are annoying. So, if I'm advertising on Bing, will directing them to a squeeze page with an exit pop hurt my "user experience" score?

I'll check with Scott to confirm but if I remember right it was a limitation of firefox. There were quite a few limitations as to how it could be set up. Nt positive about how it will effect your bing score. You might need to try it to find out.
The big question is how has it effected your conversion rate on the blog so far?

Yeah, as far as I know that's a Firefox thing that you can't override.

So, I did some reading up on the subject, and apparently neither Bing nor Facebook allows ads that direct to landing pages with exit pops. Rats.
I've just put it on my blog, so I really don't have much data yet. I'll let ya know how it works on the blog.

Yeah, it's weird though. I've seen that in FB 's terms but I've also definitely seen FB ads that lead to landing pages that do have them. In fact I've seen it a lot. Not sure if that is because the mods are letting them through, or if it's people that are turning them on after the fact.

I watched the training and put this up on my squeeze page last night (sunspotuniverse.com) - I think the Facebook idea was a great way to try and get them interested one last time. I'm gonna put one on the special offer page at the end of my auto responder series as well.
However, for some reason, the pop-up only works for me if I leave in the "Message for Firefox users" and "Message for non-Firefox users". I have to have that left in, or for some reason or it absolutely will not show. I added stuff to the message, but it still looks kinda weird. Anyone have any idea of why it acts like this?
Good lesson though and I'm looking forward to trying it out and seeing if it increases conversions a little bit.

You need to enter both because people are going to be visiting from multiple types of browsers and Firefox works a bit different, in respect to how they display those pop up notices.
If something isn't displaying right, please post the link and I'll see what I can do to help.

It's not that I need just to put in both parts of the script for Firefox users, but I actually have to have the text that says "Message for Firefox users" and "Message for non-Firefox users" in the message that displays in the window. It's not a huge deal, but it's weird and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing it.

Hi Mike,
It;s been a while since I've played with it, so I'll have to check, but isn't that just place holder text? I believe you can just remove that line and replace it with your message. I'm checking with Scott to confirm. Try it and let me know if that works for you.

Yeah, that's placeholder text. You'll want to replace that with your own message.

Right, I understand about the placeholder text. The problem I was having was that when I removed the placeholder text at all that the pop-up wouldn't work. Like if I took out the line that said "Message for Firefox users" then it would stop popping up. I could add to the text (indeed that's what I've got up right now), but for some reason I couldn't take away any of the placeholder text (I was careful with the brackets and line breaks and everything) or it wouldn't work. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem. From the sound of it, I guess not, ha!

// main message
setTimeout(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
redirecting= true;
location.href= 'http://www.yoursite.com/';
}, 2000);
}, 0);
return "*********************************************nn"+
"Message for non-Firefox Users nn"+
"*********************************************"
}
}
Make sure you only edit what I have in red. Leave the first and last quotation marks.

Alright, this time it worked. I have no idea why, I don't think I did a single thing differently but this time it worked. Maybe I had an issue with the quotes, but I got it working, thanks!

Awesome, glad you got it sorted. Probably the quotes. I miss those all the time.

Hey John:
I was interested in using this script for a mobile funnel I'm putting together, but it seems as though it doesn't work on iPhone/iPad, in Safari or Chrome (the 2 browsers I have).
Checking the web, I'm not coming across any mention of scripts that work on mobile...but I'm not finding anything that says you can't have an exit pop on a mobile device. Do you know anything about this?
Thanks! ~ Mike
