After using Pop-ups, Pop unders and almost any other means to get the attention of my visitors, I’ve found this product to be the most attention grabbing, while at the same time not as obnoxious or irritating to visitors as the other ways.

Also Liz, there is a downloadable video that the creator of the program provides that walks you through the setup and all the different ways to configure the program. It’s included in your download package. It’s the most comprehensive support system I’ve ever seen. Check your download info, for the installation guide.

There is a support link at the bottom of the page – that should give you what you’re looking for…

Jacquelyn – yes, you can use a different ad on each page. Great idea!

I bought the package but it doesn’t have any instructions with it. Maybe I missed something in the download. Did yours come with instructions?

Hmmm interesting, I would love to test it out. It is so much better than pop ups/audios, those are in fact annoying. This I think customers would be more satisfied with. I think the bouncing though…unless there was an different ad on each peel away ad that they can see on each page of the site? Hmmm….

I’ve started using the Peel Away Ad on my Cottage site to attract newsletter subscriptions. Too early to tell the conversions of visitors to subscribers, but I like the look so much better than pop-ups. Now, I’ll just test test test. Doesn’t matter if I like it, but if it does the job it was meant to do.

I agree with Teli’s comment though. Once the Peel Away Ad has been opened, my preference would be for it to not continue to “bounce” on every page visited. Annoying.

Lynn,

That’s a NICE discount on your webinar page. 250% off standard price. WOW!! LOLOL

As for an annoyance factor, I’d rather see a “peel away” than listen to the annoying audios/videos that start immediately on some sites and blow my ears out.

heh heh

But I think they can be effective. But not too many affiliate managers are adding any “peel aways” in their affiliate toolboxes so far anyway.

While I think it’s a neat idea (from the marketing perspective), I’m with Paul on this one — I’m a little tired of them.

I’ve come across a couple of peel aways that were not quite obnoxious, but still annoying because they kept “bouncing” (for lack of a better term). Another one actually refused to go back to its original state after I accidentally clicked on it.

All that said, it’s a great way to combat ad-blindness as long as you don’t cripple the user experience.

I’ve actually not seen these before. How neat. I really like the look of them.

Hi Paul,

I’d be interested to hear more from you on that note. Since they dont display unless you mouse over them, they are pretty much hidden unless you choose to view them. What is it about them that makes you ‘tired of them’ – if you dont mind sharing?

They are all over the place. I am already tired of them.

Thanks for the heads up on the money off voucher. I’m looking for something a little different in the way of advert display, and this seems novel enough to catch peoples’ attentions. Many people seem to now subconsciously filter out the ads placed in traditional areas of a site or blog.

You can check the Webinars page and Case Study page I linked to at the end of the post above – they are working great in the browsers I’ve tested so far.

Thanks Lynn. Do these peel away scripts work on all browsers? I had tried a similar script almost a year back. And it distorted my website in a few browsers… so if you’ve tested it out, would love to know if it works on all major browsers or not.
