Exit Splash – Big Splash or Little Ripple?
Hi. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the email EZ4Newbies Newsletter in the upper left corner of the page. Thanks for visiting!
Have you heard about Exit Splash? If you’re like me, your inbox has been inundated (as usual) by this new product launch. What’s it all about?
Let’s take a look at this script, called “Exit Splash.” It’s a tiny, simple, yet powerful script that claims it can increase your sales by 40% and increase your opt-ins by 800%. All you have to do is just plug the Exit Splash program in to your website and you’re on your way to increased sales, conversions, and opt-ins.
How?
Exit Splash’s creators say that there’s an unseen income stream on your website. If you’re not using this particular powerful new script, they say, you’re just throwing it away. People are leaving your website and they’re not taking action.
It is well-known that visitors to your website may visit for only a few seconds and leave; that means you’re totally wasting that portion of your web traffic and not making money from it. In reality, as we all know, a majority of visitors leave without ever taking action (yeah, sad but true).
Exit Splash is a simple script you plug in your site which will send your departing visitors from their attempted exit to a redirected splash page set up with specific elements that will help monetize your business. This script works with all types of pages: sales page, landing page, squeeze page, content sites, and more.
How It Works
When someone tries leaving your site, an unblockable box pops up and gives them a reason to stay on your site. The visitor will then click to stay on your site and then will be directed to an “Exit Splash” page.
So, what is an “exit splash” page? It is a special web page that your visitor is taken to as an alternative to leaving your website. Let me sum it up:
1. Visitors go to your site
2. Exiting visitors see your message (a few will choose to leave anyway – their loss)
3. Many will continue to your exit splash page
4. Your exit splash page converts formerly wasted traffic into more sales and more subscribers
No matter what kind of site you have, people are going to leave – sometimes very fast. You only have a few precious seconds to grab their attention; if you don’t – they’re gone! The Exit Splash program gives you an opportunity to open a new line of communication with them and turn that potentially-wasted visitor into a prospect or even a sale.
Remember, the initial pop up is unblockable. It’s actually not a popup window at all, and it’s not a popover, or any other type of browser window.
Then what is it? It’s a special dialog box that is built in to practically all browsers. It is part of the internet protocol. It can’t be ignored; visitors must click on it to continue. You can put any message you want in the box and they will see it.Whether they stay or leave, they are forced to take action.
This is a powerful exit technology and it’s really simple to use. There’s no database, nothing to program, no responses to write, and no admin area to configure. You simply upload it and use it.
The downside? It may aggravate a few folks who are leaving your site. However, the gain in traffic retention offsets that easily, I believe. What do you think?
So there it is: a nice method to increase your profits, increase your conversions, and increase traffic – all with a tiny little script you plug in to your site. No hassles, no worries, and especially no more wasted visitors.

Free Leads! No, Don’t Use Bulk Mail Lists
I’m sure you’ve seen those advertisements that read something like: “1,000,000 email addresses for $39.99”. These bulk mail companies even offer you these names on a CD shipped to your doorstep, ready to upload (or so they say).
Sure, having 1,000,000 subscribers is the best thing that could ever happen to any Internet Marketer, but unfortunately, it is a case of “too good to be true”.
What many newbies don’t know is that these bulk companies often harvest the email addresses using robots and other malwares via the Internet. That is how the 1,000,000 email addresses generally come about, whatever the selling price is.
Now, the really bad part is that if you purchase the so-called 1,000,000 names even at a low price, not only is it a waste of money, you are risking being accused of spamming. It is no longer a surprise how you frequently receive spam emails on Viagra, OEM Software, get-rich-quick schemes, and things you do not even need in your inbox. That is possible because, of the 1,000,000 names, no one knows you or even asked to be subscribed to your mailing list, and you will be a “spammer”.
Even if the company is offering you “Double Opt-In” leads, they did not opt in to your list.
There are also companies which offer free leads, say 2,000 per week. They, too, should be considered unusuable by you. Virtually all autoresponders online do not allow you to upload such addresses. Sure, you can get an autoresponder script and handle it all yourself, but why?
First off, not all 1,000,000 email addresses are really viable because a portion of them can either be owned by the same person or business or are obsolete and no longer in use.
Secondly, your webhost can and will shut down your site if you are accused of spamming.
But most importantly, as a result of spamming, legislation has been enacted in many countries, such as the CAN-SPAM Act in the USA. Emailing to someone who has not requested your email can get you fined, put out of business, or even jailed. Even emailing to your own list requires certain protections nowadays, such as a way to unsubscribe and identification of the sender.
When you read such ads or see such sites again, tell yourself that it is a waste of time and money. Take the time and effort (there are those 2 words again!) to build your list yourself.
Unless you want to go to jail. Makes it kinda hard to run your business, though.
