Facts About Pop-over (pop-in) Windows
Let’s go through some facts about this useful technology.
Pop-Over Fact: Any business or individual can benefit from Pop-overs. Pop-overs, if used right, can increase response to special offers or newsletter sign-ups. It’s not a coincidence that most major ISP’s or Internet related companies use this technology to increase their sales.
Pop-Over Fact: It’s not easy to block a pop-over window. Instead of opening a new browser window as the pop-ups of years gone by did, pop-overs remain a part of the web page as a mixture of HTML and Javascript. That makes it very difficult for a traditional pop-up blocker software to ban them and stop them from appearing.
Pop-Over fact: Pop-over windows are versatile and elegant. You can create various designs and styles. You can make pop-over windows that suddenly appear on the visitor’s screen or slide from one side of the screen to the other. Pop overs can deliver special offers and advertisements elegantly and with a little more personality. That is why pop-overs are considered by many Internet marketers a highly effective marketing tool.
Pop-Over Fact: Offering your website’s visitors special discounted offers and advertisements it’s not the only way to use pop-over windows. You could use them in a thousand different ways. You could make a special announcement or relay your latest business news. You could display testimonials from your customers or survey your visitors and get their feedback. There’s no limit to what you can do. It’s up to you.
Can Pop-over windows be blocked?
As I mentioned before, pop-over windows are active parts of a web page. That is why most pop-up killers or related software fail to stop them. But of course, in the Internet world everything is possible. There’s got to be a way to block pop-over windows and that is if you disable Javascript in your browser. But this is an uncommon scenario since the majority of Internet users have Javascript enabled.
Are Pop-over windows annoying for your website’s visitors?
The answer is Yes if you are not careful when using pop-over windows to advertise products and special offers. Truth is that advertisements are somehow annoying for everyone. In the case of pop-over windows the chance of annoying your visitors increase since the advertisement will suddenly appear from nowhere in front of the visitor’s screen. That is why you should be discreet and careful when creating your pop-over window.
An annoyed website visitor is highly unlikely to turn into a potential customer. I recommend that you should exercise discretion when creating a pop-over advertisement.
How to create and use Pop-over windows?
If you search the engines for “pop-over software” or “pop-in window software” or something similar, chances are you will find hundreds of pages offering pop-over windows services or software that creates pop-over windows. Not all of them are perfect.
They all have their pros and cons. Most pop-over scripts/software are pretty straight forward. You choose the colors, pop-over window width and height, screen position, whether you want the pop-over to instantly appear as the web page loads or wait for a specified number of seconds. You then specify the contents and you’re done. There are more sophisticated pop-over window scripts/software that will let you customize the pop-over window even more.
It’s up to you to benefit from this technology but don’t overdo it. My advice is to be discreet, straight forward, clear and concise. Don’t forget to use your imagination. Good luck!
Are your pop-ups get banned or blocked? How about a different way of promoting special offers or opt-in forms? You really need to move on to the new unblockable pop-over
technology and watch your conversions, email lists and product sales increase immediately.
Palestine – the New Myth About Jordan
Jordan’s Prime Minister, Marouf al- Bakhit, has now added one new myth to the countless many concerning Palestine that have been invented by Arab propagandists.
Speaking at a recent seminar marking the 61st anniversary of Jordan’s independence, the Prime Minister asserted that everyone should realise that:
“this small country [Jordan] was not accidentally born nor was the outcome of deals,conferences or conspiracies.”
Jordan’s history is well documented and totally contradicts the Prime Minister‘s amazing assertion.
It was accidentally born in 1921 – as the emirate of Transjordan. It then comprised 77% of the area designated by Britain and France as “Palestine” after the First World War – the land in which the Jewish National Home was intended to be reconstituted almost 2000 years after the Jews had lost their biblical and ancestral homeland to foreign invaders and occupiers.
This noble plan was suddenly “postponed or withheld” in relation to Transjordan, when Britain changed tack and proceeded to transform Transjordan into an “Arab province or adjunct of Palestine”, as Winston Churchill described it at the time. However it still remained part of Palestine until independence was granted by Britain in 1946 but the Jews were prohibited from settling there.
What was postponed or withheld became permanent after 1946.
The Jews were then left to reconstitute their homeland in just 23% of the area originally allotted to them – a miniscule 28000 square kilometres. The Arabs had ended up with the other 92000 square kilometres of Palestine as an exclusively Arab State but this did not and never has satisfied the Arabs. Some wanted and still demand a greater share and others want the lot.
Jordan was indeed the outcome of deals, conferences and conspiracies – a pay off by the British, following the Cairo Conference, to Emir Abdullah, second son of Sharif Hussein of Mecca – to stop Abdullah and his armed band of followers transiting through Transjordan on their way to Damascus to help his brother Feisal in a struggle against the French who had taken control of Syria in the break up of the Ottoman Empire.
Former US President Jimmy Carter best summed up Jordan’s history in Time on 11 October 1982 when he said:
“As a nation, it is a contrivance, arbitrarily devised by a few strokes of the pen.”
One could equally apply Carter’s statement to Syria (independent only since 1946), Iraq (1932), Saudi Arabia (1932) and Lebanon (1943) – all nations created from the vast tracts of the Ottoman Empire allocated to the Arabs by the British and the French simultaneously with the allocation of Palestine to the Jews at the end of World War 1.
Deals, conferences and conspiracies certainly abounded at the time of Jordan’s birth and still exist today when it comes to Jordan and the role it has to play in resolving the Arab -Israel conflict.
The Jordanian Prime Minister ’s statement appears to be trying to distance Jordan from the current woes of the West Bank and Gaza – just 5% of former Palestine and 15 times smaller than the large chunk of former Palestine that Jordan now occupies.
Denying Jordan’s Palestinian parentage and lineage draws a line in the sand. It sends a message to both Hamas and Fatah to not be tempted to try attacking and wresting control of Jordan from its current rulers, as the idea of a separate State in the West Bank and Gaza now slowly fades into the sunset of history.
King Abdullah of Jordan is well aware of this nightmare scenario.
Yasser Arafat tried to do it in 1970 to Abdullah’s father King Hussein from inside Jordan and failed dismally leaving thousands dead in the process.
Now Jordan could face such a threat externally if the chaos, lawlessness, murder and mayhem occurring in Gaza spreads to the West Bank as Messrs Haniyeh and Abbas find themselves engaging in an undeclared war with Israel that they cannot possibly win.
Firing Kassam rockets into Jordan from the West Bank and making terrorist incursions into Jordan could well mirror what is happening in Israel if steps are not taken to prevent jihadist groups taking root in the West Bank.
Preserving the territorial integrity of Jordan and the safety and welfare of its citizens, all of whom are Arabs of Palestinian descent from either eastern or western Palestine, has been King Abdullah’s and his family’s sacred duty since that day back in 1921 when his great-grandfather was induced to remain in Transjordan under British patronage and protection.
Because of their efforts Jordan has been preserved as an exclusively Arab state in 77% of historic Palestine.
61 years of Arab rejectionism since Jordan’s independence in 1946 wasted in attempting to conquer all or part of the remaining 23% have brought the Arab population nothing but misery and suffering.
King Abdullah understands that both Israel and Jordan now have common enemies that are seeking their downfall.
He told Acting Israeli President Dalia Itzik just that only recently.
King Abdullah now appears to be setting the stage for a return to the Arab occupied areas of the West Bank, which Jordan last occupied from 1948 to 1967, as a necessary counter to stop any threat to his country and the relative peace and tranquillity it has enjoyed since it signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994.
Jordan’s Prime Minister does not have to re-write history to justify the continuing rule of Jordan under its current leadership and the role it must play – as the successor state in 77% of historic Palestine – in resolving who will ultimately be allocated sovereignty in the West Bank.
David Singer is an Australian Lawyer and Convenor of Jordan is Palestine International — an organization calling for sovereignty of the West Bank and Gaza to be allocated between Israel and Jordan as the two successor States to the Mandate for Palestine
