Popping Up Everywhere

Yahoo, Google and Blogger all seem to have bought into the pop-up syndrome. As of today, I'm getting "exit pop-ups" half the time I click on the outgoing links on my sidebar or do a Google search, and interim pop-ups appear about every fifth message on my Yahoo groups. How coincidental is this sudden ad attack, I wonder, with the recent start-up effective date of the National Do Not Call Registry?
