AllClicks.com has an exit popup window program that
they open for new signups from time to time. The last
time they opened it, I joined them. You can see it by
visiting http://www.animewallpapers.com/ and then
leaving.

They pay me 1.5 cents per unique visitor (uniques are
reset every 12 hours), so I make at least that much for
every visitor that does not close the popup before it
loads. It's been fairly profitable, although the
banners at the top of my site bring in more because
they are CPM based and each visitor on my site views 10
pages, and not every visit reaches the main page (where
the popup code is).
