I used to use the exact terminology you used until just recently. I'm still testing, but up to now I learned that the positive effects overweight the negatives. @ Llama, thank you for pointing this out. It is fixed and you can subscribe now. What happened was I created a new sub-domain which had the exact "folder title" of the feed. I did this because I wanted to switch on Feedburner's MyBrand Pro. (Couldn't get it to work yet.) This crushed the RSS feed so you got to see what you saw. Again, it's working properly now. @ Ben, I understand your point of view. I used to use the exact terminology you used until just recently.

Depending on the site and niche, they can be a positive or a negative. I'm guessing Marcus has tested it and it's a net positive here. I'll be subscribing to the site via RSS so I won't see the popup anyway ;) Subscription popups tend to earn more subscribers, though they do tick off some readers.

A popup will probably make fewer people subscribe, not more. It's the first thing I saw on your site and to be honest it made me want to leave immediately. I only stuck around to do the decent thing and let you know that I didn't like it.
