Pop unders bad for SEO
Now I know Google says to rank well you must have good content and improve user experience. I have plugrush installed with pop unders, so of course it annoy the user, but does it actually have a ranking factor to it?
Thanks |

Do users like popups? Does google want to be sending their users to a site that will annoy their users? I think you already know the answer to your question, but you're hoping someone will say "it's fine"

I see about a 10-15% bounce rate increase with pops on some sites. But not much change on others. Google takes this into account when ranking I assume so.

Tubes have low bounce rates using popunders.
So, it depends on how bad people want your content. |

Ok, what would be your recommendation to monetise traffic which isn't bad for SEO?

The fact that he is even marketing a hosting company as an "seo host" shows how much he doesn't understand SEO.. If you want advice, look elsewhere

I was thinking maybe you should only introduce pop unders once you have thousands of visits a day. But not when you're starting out.

Everything that distracts users from consuming your content decreases their engagement. You need to find a golden middle between user engagement and site monetization.

I would say, that I would not worry about it, but if you are asking, it may be actually a sign that it is a ranking factor for them. These are examples of websites, which use popunders, and have a lot of traffic from Google, at the same time (I am sure there is a lot more, these are the only two that I've checked):

That Matt guy has said that it doesn't matter per se. But if it increases bounce rate and so on, that matters.
I use pop-unders those come when you click a link (page element). So basically there is much less bounces because of pop-unders. |

Make sure that you advertisement on the site is integrated in a way that makes the visitor want to click it - rather than force it on them (overlays, pop-unders etc).

Don't worry about what google wants or says.
If you can get and keep people to your site and they stay awhile you'll rank fine - most of the time. |

I tested today with no pop unders. 45% bounce rate. Before was 60%
It's worth noting that most of my visitors are mobile users. Therefore they get a pop up. No such thing as pop unders for mobile. |

What is that supposed to mean? If the guy at Google who is in big part responsible for these stuff tells something, you say it has no value? Or that he is lying?

(it's the resulting bounce rate that can affect the rankings...) If that was the case then most the top listed sites in adult and other markets wouldn't be running pops.. 2- If you dont want to use a popup just use a full page flex ad... http://www.iab.net/media/file/IAB-mo...ch_specs.p df They also work as a great alternative to redirecting mobile traffic.... Redirecting mobile traffic will get you bitch slapped by Google... |

Unless you visit a website within an app like Twitter, then it will seem like a straight redirect and no way of going back unless you close the website and click the link again. (at least on an iPhone)

That said yes, if someone wants to increase their SEO score proper back links and methods are needed. As well as a long list of other good practice methods. But I'm not about to write a 10 page post on how to do proper SEO... At any rate the post was with regards to IOS popunder and that it is possible. Not if people should do it or not... Personally I like full page flex ads as an alternative to redirects and popups. |

I am not saying that, lets say, all videos of Matt Cuts have no value, but I would not trust what they say 100%. What they say and the reality does not align. Ie. Cutts would say - never buy links - and a lot of xxx people do that, and this is how they get good results. So if you listen to what they say, you lose.

I think he was trying to say that google will not tell you the best way to rank. They will have Matt Cutts say some things that are true and some that are not. They will give good pieces of advice which will help you rank but also may hinder it. |

And what might be the kind of thing that Matt would say to hinder your search results, or say something that isn't true? Any examples? And please, let's consider that we are playing by the rules. Matt doesn't advice how to hack Google and to make your site appear in every search result as a only result. Obviously he won't advice how to play dirty. |

Matt Cutts is a PR face. He denies the existence of negative SEO to hurt rankings (which was obviously not true) and he also told us the disavow tool would actually work in our favor, which it doesn't. |

I don't get that negative SEO stuff. Just few messages above there were stuff about buying links; how Matt advices against that; and here you tell that Matt denies the existence of negative SEO, that could hurt rankings. LOL Or do you mean to hurt others people's sites rankings? Well, the thing that we are even having this conversations proves that you guys are so deep into "playing the game" that you don't even see the big picture anymore. Every message is pretty much about fighting against Google. And when Matt tells how to rank better by going by the rules; that is something evil. You even fight against me just because I told something that Matt told. |

Doing things according to what Google / Matt Cutts say has (long term) value, but at the same time this is not how things get done / achieved by the most successful / profitable people / companies making / working on xxx sites.

If the only user experience in your site is pop-ups.
On most sites; the site's value for visitors is a sum from a larger group of things than just pop-ups. |
