What percentage of internet users have popup blockers?

Question

I am a web designer and have a client who insists she wants a popup on her site to advertise one of the products within her site. I am doing everything to concince her that popups are no longer efficient as most people have popup blockers - but she's stubborn. I tried google and wikipedia but had no luck finding any statistics. Does anybody know for sure the percentage of people who have popup blockers? My guess is at least 90% but I would like an actual website to show them.

Answer 1

I agree with you....90% or higher, I myself just have them switched off via my ISPs settings.

I don't know ANYONE who does not find pop ups the most annoying thing!

I also reckon, the majority of the 1 to 10% of peeps who actually do have their pop ups not blocked probably click the pop ups straight off before they even take notice of what is actually ON the pop up (as we all know most pop ups are just rubbish!)

so yes, tell your friend she is wasting her time!

Answer 2

you may uninstall from the administration panel contained in the starting up menu, notwithstanding attempt protecting administration once you click the link, maximum pop up blockers see this because the major that a human is attempting to open a link.
