By 1997, the pop-up plague had spread to sites across the net, including Geocities, AOL, and The New York Times. The biggest pro, and probably the only one you will care about, is that pop-ups are one of the best lead acquisition tools out there. Like everything else, pop-ups have both pros and cons.
