I'm afraid this comes from anecdotal evidence. People who visit a lot of sites that are either hosted on free servers which use pop-up adverts or else a lot of illegal software ("warez") sites, which often have the same, but are prepared to host pornographic adverts (presumably they pay better), say this to me. Advertisements are certainly the association in my mind from looking at geocities sites. Users who prefer amateur sites (fan sites, minority interests, amateur computer sites, small non-profits) would presumably be more likely to make this connection than mainly corporate users. A proper study in emotional response to pop ups (and many other web techniques) would be useful, and no doubt exists somewhere. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.1 Int. for non-commercial use <http://www.pgpinternational.com> iQA/AwUBOoKclNlYbmO7kSNQEQKCsgCg+HSUGAeaMeHpROtRxSOXTd/dlj8An3DY fhm83d++4C2fVhE1+OlhY4iE =A3Nt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
