Who is using pop-unders?

[domaister]

My namerive portfolio is getting monthly views in xxx.xxx range so I'm wondering about popunders... i hate them but i would enjoy an extra $xxx monthly. I'd like to know more from who has activated them... let us know!

[namestrands]

I use popunders on namedrive but the CPM is $1+ per 1000 compared to the industry standard of $3

saying that the pop ups dont appear to work all the time.

So you would need a whole load of PURE landing page traffic in order to generate something worth while.

my advice to name drive is to dump Casalemedia and team up with ValueClick or TribalFusion

Hi there people,

Much like how we reflect the real Google revenue, we reflect the popunder revenue which Casale reports to us. It does seem that they do also have region-specific rates. I have predominantly European traffic and currently around 1.80$ RPM, but some people have reported up to 3. The RPM has certainly improved on most accounts since we started with at 1.10-1.20, but we don't say we pay at a blanket X amount as we're not paid by Casale at a blanket rate.
We are certainly continuing to look at interesting new things. But PPC is where we really focus our efforts, so we don't want popunder rev to be a major factor for comparison.

And yes, evibe's site looks great

I am still a little leary about using the pop-unders, has anyone noticed a decrease in traffic since you started using them? I know that most type-in traffic to parked pages does not turn into repeat traffic, but I am still a bit concerned about losing traffic...

[Pim(P)]

How do the popunders affect the ctr?

[maxo]

elivate,

I tested pop-unders on my high traffic domain and noticed decrease in CTR, however it does not mean it is generally like that. As for decrease in traffic, it depends on the traffic domain gets, if it is typo traffic, I doubt there will be decrease.

Thanks, I think I will try it for a month and see what happens, I will use popunders for July, and compare to June and see what I get...

my 35K pageviews which namedrive counted last month, generated 5.5K popunders.

I enabled popunders for all domains, even my most valuable high-ctr cashcows. My reasoning was that those whose browsers allow casale popunders are probably less proficient internet users, and less likely to be deterred from clicking by popunders. Anyway I assumed this percentage would be small.

Now, there seems to be some data supporting my assumptions: my most valuable, high rpm domains, which I think are domains that attract reasonably interesting leads or prospects for the advertisers, appear to have fewer popups than my run-of-the-mill domains. These Domains in my case seem to be those with more traffic. I assume the traffic here more heterogeneous and less targeted, more like the target group for tabloids, rather than higher-end financial services. Tabloids are popular, and a lot of people buy tabloids. a lot of people probably don't mind tabloid advertising, and may even expect this kind of advertising in some sites.

I'll continue to use popunders in July.

Morning everyone,

I'm afraid we have had to temporarily disable the popunders as it turned out that Casale popunders had a bug with the IE discussion bar which caused a lot of problems for certain websites. Casale are dragging their feet about finding a solution, so we're looking into a new popunder provider as soon as possible.
It would seem that Namestrands was right, as usual, about looking for a new solution...

Does ValueClick have PopUnders?
