Ive seen it multiple times. Do you have to have it installed to make it go away?
Isn't there a less obtrusive way of revenue, like, lets say the banners you are currently using already? I use Amazon a lot as I have Prime but not everyone wants to go directly there from a Newegg link.... Newegg, I believe has better reviews sometimes.
Is once a day really necessary? If I don't want to install the plugin today, I'm not going to want to install it tomorrow. Quite frankly, I'll get annoyed enough to stop coming to the site before I get annoyed enough to install a plugin I don't want or need.
I keep that in mind for sure. But at the end of the day, if Newegg has something for $30-$50 cheaper due to a hot deal that Amazon doesn't have, heck, I like this site, but not $30 every purchase like.
I do not have NewZon installed. I tried it, it wasn't to my liking, so I uninstalled it.
I am not using a proxy, yet I get it every time I reboot my PC or restart my browser.
It isn't just that. Every time I click a link I have a popup come up telling me how Amzon is saving the world, but I can continue being a horrible person if I want to resume the link to the original website (Newegg). Does it have to be every time? I get it, some people have the attention span of a nat, but really?
EDIT
Doesn't do it every time now that I have Newzon installed. But still, really?
I buy several thousand dollars a year from Amazon. Last year was over $20k.
However, Newegg has a better search engine for finding P/N's. I typically buy only stuff I can't get from Amazon at other sources, including Tiger, Ebay, Costco, NewEgg, ServerDirect, etc.
When I see NewEggSucks constantly, I get a feeling somebody doesn't know much about purchasing. #1 is to find the right P/N, something nearly impossible to do with Amazon's current engine.
So if you want to give purchasing advice, first learn how to purchase. You're not the Pope discussing Sex, right?
Did I miss the memo, why did that happen? Seems like a lot of users here are/were buying through Newegg?
This popup is incredibly annoying. I realize they might be getting advertising money from amazon and not newegg. But damn it, I've donated/paid here several times to support the site though I will continue to buy from the sites that I have had the best experience with regardless of where you all get your advertising money. I do not want to install the damn chrome extension, I will not use it, and I do not want to be pestered by it every day that I log on. I've been a member here for over 12 years now, and would have never thought [H] would have stooped so low as to use nag screens.
Give me the option, I will GLADLY donate again, but I do not want to keep seeing that stupid nag popup!
Also, have you thought about those of us who don't live in the US? We will obviously never use Newegg so the plugin is of no use to us?
For european users (and i assume it's quite a lot of them), the popup with the plugin is useless and really only annoying. I'm in europe and get the popup at least 3-4 times a day due to changes of ip. I'm not interested in purchasing anything from newegg or amazon and telling you guys once should be enough.
Seems to have been taken care of now, as I'm not seeing the popup any more. Thanks for the quick reaction to feedback
Also, I, for one, appreciate this little plugin quite a bit and wanted to say thank you for providing it!
Why use a popup at all? Just link it, have a static link right under the site name, have it next to relevant links, anything but a popup...
I second this. Shouldnt be too hard to lock out Non-Americas users from this I would think. As we are not going to be part of the revenue calculations anyway.
Any chance of a geo restriction so EU users such as myself don't see it? We can't use it so why advertise it?
I have seen the popup for the past few days. I do not have it installed. I am on Chrome. I am accessing from multiple locations.
It is mildly annoying.
I think this is an acceptable compromise. The redirect and pop up are gone, but the button is still next to newegg links to compare at amazon.
The only other suggestion I would make is instead of it saying "Newzon", go with something that is a little more functional and self explainatory. "Compare at Amazon" button would be acceptable.
