What are pop-ups?

 

pop-up

What are pop-ups? Pop-Ups are unexpected small windows that suddenly appear on your screen. When we access some websites, these websites opens up a new window to display some information, basically advertisements. Pop- ups are a form of online advertisements that helps to generate more traffic and capture e-mail addresses. Pop-ups are hidden under the active windows and appear after sometime when a website is opened in a web browser.

Are Pop-ups Important to SEO?

The Answer is NO. Pop-ups are of no use to Search engine optimization. The search spiders are very lethargic and they only like the regular hyperlinks and other links like Java Script links and Pop-ups are mainly invisible to them! It’s been said that the Pop-ups are great online marketing tool to promote any products and services but unfortunately they are like hidden source from search spiders.

Additionally Pop-ups are disliked by most of the online visitors. The sounds of pop-ups and the pop-ups itself distracts the online visitors. It may happen, due to pop-ups, you lose your potential customers visiting your website. So avoid using Pop-ups. Pop-ups can be a constraint to build and generate traffic.

SEO

So, Pop-ups are just craps. They are truly of no use from SEO Perspective because they are not recognized by search engine spiders while accessing to search queries made. I doubt whether it is really a great marketing tool for online promotion without SEO importance.
