  Andre Weyher: Good day folks, I've been wondering about this for a while and cant seem to get a full answer, perhaps you can help.
  We all now that classic pop ups can have a bad influence on your sites rankings. Does anyone know if the same counts for the, lets call them, "exit intent windows" which are triggered by software that detects the users intent to leave the page by moving the mouse to the "close tab" button. A window shows up with a last attempt to convert or leave details. Would be useful for my site but I'm not sure if they have the same bad effect on SEO as classic pop ups. Any insights on this? Thanks!
