Just what is a "console"?

[Alphawolf]

I did a search and think I get it. Are these pages that pop-up when a surfer goes to leave your site?

If so- why are they called 'consoles'? Is there more to it than that?

TIA

You got it. :)

They can also pop on page entry either above or under the page.

I have no idea why they are called consoles. LOL

Console is proably the older term, based on the fact that pop-up windows used to be used as a navigation console and such like...

Then - like everything they got abused...

I have other names for them..........
