I hate the way Popup Domination market themselves and their $10 off discount

Internet marketers can be funny from time to time, not all of them of course, but some of them has a tendency to build those amazingly long landing pages (sales pitch pages) where your finger gets all sore after scrolling through it. Obviously they’re doing it because such pages convert better (=more sales) than just … Read more →

Retain Visitors To Your Site And Increase Sales Conversions: Exit Grabber Review

Exit Grabber pop-up: Text-based example.

You want better sales conversions or membership registrations on your website, am I right? Because, after all, that’s what puts food on the table. And beer in the fridge. After having this software recommended by a good friend and Internet marketing guru, I suggested to one of my clients that they gave it a try.
