console or no console?

[XXXTurn]

What do you choose?
What's better?

Thanks.

No console if they pay me 30$ instead 35$ (for example and no cake from console sales) but if they pay me for console sales then it's ok!

99% of the times i pick console free because its more surfer friendly!

Most of my traffic is from SE's so I use consoles. If I was trying to build a bookmarker base, I wouldn't use any popups. Also, I don't use popups if there's more than 4 of them going up.

I've mostly used no console tours untill recently (depending on the payout reduction, if I get credit for the consoles or not, etc..) but lately I'm starting to use more and more console tours because most new browser have popup blockers so the surfer never even gets to see the console..

Try to cut down on any surfer diversions between your site, the paysite, and his return. If you get him back cleanly, then you get more chances to sell him something. If he gets sold, or diverted off, then someone else gets that sales opportunity.

I rather take a pay cut and opt for console free

Actually I link to both console and console free tours, but don't yet have enough statistics to clearly say what's better. So far it seems just 1 console that I get paid for is better than no console at all.

On the other hand sites that launch several consoles are a big turn off for me. Silvercash console tours clogging whole screen with several AFF ads you never get paid for are a good example of this. They have no console option however.

I try and think of how I like to surf the web..and I usually pick Console free and the $5 difference isnt that big a deal, but thinking about what DirtyJumbo said about the newer browsers blocking Pop Ups (which I know mine does) I may think about using the console tours and banking the $5 unless they are just unmerciful and a huge annoyance. Just my opinion.

I need to checkout my sponsors. I don't do much with Silvercash, but if they are flying AFF popups, then that's a bad sign, and I need to take down their links. The more we can starve Zango of income, the better it will be for all of us.

anything fueled by se's i do console, traded sites and such i do no-console

[welikesemhot]

I never use consoles because it is a pain in the ass for my users and that's the most important thing for me.

[sparkman]

does anyone have data that suggests which pays out more in the long run consoles vs. no consoles? Those who've been in the biz for years, can you shed some light on this question?

[tolik]

as i unrerstand you mean consoles at paysites? yes i using them if this worth. depends from situation only. some programs have traffic back option - so webmaster can setup own exit url for his traffic.

All my sites are console free.. so...

[rogue]

i try for console free, i've heard too many horror stories of aff codes not being transfered so i play safe.

consoled unless I go for bookmarkers

By the way consoles may not bring you in as uch more as you think.

For example 10 console free sales brings you in 250$

Then people think - Ok I will use consoled tours and I will get 10 35$ sales and 350$ in total instead.

But it may be not like that - you may loose 3 sales to popups ( Meaning surfer signup for popup offer instead of your tour) That makes you with 7 35$ sales and only 245$ total for you

Honestly never got any popup while visiting any ref link with console ....
