If this page doesn't give you an instant headache
I don't know what will. People don't like it when you take
over their computers with stuff that's annoying or makes
them frustrated. It doesn't take much to accomplish this
and there's lots of ways to mess around with 'capture code'.
Popups and alert boxes are the most abused tricks.
Blinking text, dumb mouse trails, background music and hard
to read text (like the above header) are some others.
Tricks can be great ways to embellish your website
with fun and interesting things that can develope into interactivity
between your visitors and your website. This in turn helps
your page ranking in the search engines. Used abusively
and your visitor makes a quick escape and a mental note
never to visit your website again.
Be careful with getting too cute and fancy with
this kind of add on stuff because people might not appreciate
whatever great idea inspired you at the time. There's better
ways to get attention and you needn't risk driving away
your visitors with dumb stuff like the examples here.
