I'm struggling with this now and I could use some insight. I absolutely share OP's loathing of these pop-ups. On the other hand, I'm just starting to try to drive traffic to my physical-product website (through PPC ads, facebook marketing, etc). I KNOW I need to try to collect some contact information. But I cannot find a way to do it that isn't appalling. - Collect on landing page? How do they know if they want to sign up, they just got here. - Put on Contact Us page? Nobody will see it. - Pop up a window after 30 seconds, or three pages viewed, or whatever? I end up on thosefuckingpopus.tumbler.com, and for good reason. - Don't do anything? Patrick McKenzie finds my house and draws rude things on my face while I sleep. Has anybody come up with an acceptable design solution for collecting emails from people who are interested in being on your list?
