Hey NY,

I have a better solution for you. You can cloak your links and add your popup on the affiliate's page with text, images or even video, plus an exit popup that will forward to any website.

This is a great way to build your list with people that you send to your site that you'd normally never be able to contact.

Talk to you soon.
