Timothy here again in response to your comment.

What I was mainly stating was John's Quote on the amount of emails sent, and your use of the pop script that you have installed on this website.

Currently I am quite satisfied with my list, which is mainly via an RSS Feed which is what I encourage my viewers to do. And my current RSS Subscriber base as of this morning April 28th, 2009 is 26,283.

Even though I also encourage my readers to post there comments, they optin to use my contact form. Which to me is just as good. This way I can give personal attention to my readers.

They ask questions of me and I respond with a post that may answer that question. And I only promote affiliate offers if my readers are trying to find something they need for there business, or something that will help them solve a particular problem.

That's just may way of doing things and it has done very well for me.

I personally would rather people who complain that I mail them TOO OFTEN with products I've spent my cold hard sweat equity creating and developing into a killer deal get off my list immediately, then change my business.

I mail a lot. I have a lot of valuable stuff to say. I promote my products to my list all the time. Because I think it would be unethical to NOT do so.

My case studies and testimonials confirm this to me. If I don't make you an offer that could benefit you far beyond the price you have to pay me, then I'm doing you a disservice.

People are either good at being successful or whining. But never good at both. Pick one.

It's not an all or nothing situation. You can control how often the popup appears so that you'll only popup when people are about to leave anyway, or only show up once a month.

In any case, once you opt-in, the popup stays hidden until you clear cookies. I've done my best to make it as unobtrusive as possible.

As far as marketing to that list, I ask questions all the time. Heck, I just sent an e-mail like that on Monday asking what people want. And every time I do a webinar, I ask my list what they want in that class, and get about 100 written responses which kills about 4 hours of my time to read through, but it allows me to pull out the juicy hooks for the sales letter that people really want.

And even when I promote affiliate offers... which is about 5 times a year tops... I always throw in a webinar or custom bonus to make it personal.

So Tim, I don't know what you're talking about. And if you noticed John said he didn't unsubscribe. I always blend the content and the pitch, it's never 100% of either but if you don't like those e-mails you can do one of two things... eventually vote "no" by unsubscribing or eventually vote "yes" by accepting an offer.

How big is your list and how profitable is it, Timothy?

From what I have seen from this plugin is in my own opinion (obtrusive). I see this on many websites and to say without a doubt it puts a bad taste in my mouth.

And apparently some of your readers feel the same way.

In a Quote from: John Edgley,

"It seems to me from your increasingly frequent emails, your demands on your customers and readers, and your apparent disregard for their opinions (other than to milk them for all they're worth), that the main thing you have succeeded in automating is the process of turning yourself into "one of them".

I see this with too many marketers, especially those who try and shove every program under the sun to there subscribers.

What ever happened to catering to your customers needs? What happened to asking your customers what they want, instead of trying to force them something they don't need?

I believe in my own opinion that we have learned to be obtrusive, arrogant, uncaring and a whole slew of other words I will not list here for the sake of offending others in this post (you guys know who you are)for the sake of the Almighty Dollar.

We have literally stepped outside of the box so much, that we lose sight of relationship building, building trust, and thriving on compassionate needs of others.

What are we turning into?
Let's all quit bombarding our subscribers, and ask questions, get involved with them, build trust, build relationships.

If we do this, though it takes alot longer, the money will come.

I have it working on both a wordpress blog and joomla cms site without problems.

Are you getting my emails? Still seem to be having a problem with Action Popup.

Is anyone else having a problem with this? After getting it to work really nicely it just suddenly stopped working

Neither my blog designer or support desk seem to be able to resolve the issue, despite lots of testing.

There isn't an option to do so on the Action Comments configuration page, yet I can see the checkbox below the comment on this page isn't checked, which is what I'm looking for.
