Just a question.
I have a website that is picking up traffic from google, I am getting about 800 unique visitors per day, I was getting about 700 last week and 600 the previous 2 weeks, so my SEO efforts is starting to pay off and I am on my way to have thousands of unique visitors per day.
My question would be: if I place a smartlink as a pop under (which I see its available under smartlinks) would this kill my SEO efforts? I mean, I would like to start monetizing this website, but at the same time I don't want the traffic curve to start to go down instead of up. Btw, I have already placed a smartlink as a pop under on this site and started seeing traffic and clicks show up under my account. I am just concerned if this being a "pop under" if Google would get mad at me and penalize me/degrade my traffic/SEO efforts. If so, then I am prepared to remove my pop under and just place standard banners within the site itself and let users click them if they are interested (as a normal ad).
What's the experience of the community in terms of this, would Google penalize my site for having this pop under on my site.
I have it set to 1 ad to pop under every 12 hours per user.
