What is a Popup Site Page?
A popup page is a general term. Usually it's a page that opens a new browser window with some specific information. Usually these windows are smaller and float over the page you are currently viewing. Popup pages are best known for presenting special offers or important information to your visitor.
Popup page example
Popup pages have a reputation for annoying visitors to your site. We strongly suggest you refrain from the use of popup pages. Furthermore popup pages are aggressively blocked by many browsers including Internet Explorer, AOL, Firefox and many others.
NOTE: Many browsers automatically block popups
