One of the most effective ways to advertise your mailing list, special offer or simply to show ads is via javascript 'pop over' on your site.

And that's exactly what his easy-to-use and guaranteed-to-work plugin does:

Check out the impact it has had on WPMU DEV!

The popover ad, for WPMU DEV running on WPMU.org - which uses this plugin, delivers visitors to WPMU DEV Premium that look at double the number of pages and stay doubly as long as visitors that come via Adwords!

WordPress Pop Over Plugin


See no.13 vs. no. 17!

And, like I said, we use it and now so can you!

You can either use this plugin for all pages on your entire site, by placing it in /mu-plugins/, or allow each individual blog control over it by placing it in /plugins/ - it's easy.

Once you've done that, it's really simple, just activate it and visit Settings > Pop Overs.

Then paste in your ad code... whether its javascript or, like us, an image.

And select it's size, borders, background color, position and even font color.

Then, set the display rules, namely:

Show the Pop Over if one of the following checked rules is true:

Visitor is not logged in.

  • Visitor has never commented here before.
  • Visitor came from a search engine.
  • Visitor did not come from an internal page.
  • Visitor referrer matches 
  • And the visitor has seen the pop over less than  X  times


And you're good to go!

Here it is in action:

And of course it even contains a link allowing users to click it and never see the popover again... just to take care of the complainers!

Not that we've ever had a single complaint!

Enjoy :)
