Personally, I don't mind the pop-ups, even on each page, as long as they're singular. Nothing sux like going to a site where the pop-ups continuously spawn babies on your browser and refuse to die.
I've been a free webster (hate the terms: WEBMASTER or WEBMISTRESS) since '99 and prefer my webspace provider to make their money off of ads rather than me. I've kept my pages at Crosswinds, Tripod, Freeyellow, Homestead and Angelfire through thick and thin. I prefer them to have pop-ups or footers. This leaves the top banner space for me, if I choose. Only when they start piling on the pop-ups, do I move on to another webspace provider.
Now, that my son is teaching me about CGI and other scripts, I'm choosing my providers more cautiously.
There's no such thing as a free lunch! I can't wait until Netcabins back up. I hope you get rich!
