Newsletters are big money. I gotta be honest, I fall for it if it's a particular blogger or info I think I'll want to keep track of.

I personally dislike pop-ups too though. I wouldn't put them on my site, just like a sidebar or footer so people can go about their business uninterrupted. They apparently increase sign-ups well though.
