Important question about Cory Rudl’s site and problem pop-ups…?

Thanks for showing up.

I have been studying Cory Rudl’s web sites sale letter for his $200 coarse and I have an important question.

I have been told recently that the hyperlink structure at Cory’s sales letter site is causing his site to lose much of its effectiveness.

I have been told that the use of “pop-up” windows or “_blank” / “_new” windows in a hyperlink structure is not recommended and
should be avoided to increase a web site’s conversion.

I have been told that almost all versions of new browsers on the market have some form of “pop-up” blocking ability that limits or completely renders
the links a person has on their site “un-accessible” unless the visitor specifically “allows” pop-ups from my/your site.

I have been told that most visitors have no idea how to allow a specific site’s pop-ups to work.

I have been using the same idea as Cory does on his site.

People must click on a hyperlink, and they will get a totally new page opening, while the original web page stays open in the background.

So, here is my question(s).

Should I stop using all pop-ups this way?

Am I losing tons of sales because I do this?

Why would Cory still do this if it appears to be such a big mistake? Is he not also losing tons of sales?

In fact, at Cory’s site, a person must click on a link to get to his order page.

But, the order page is in a pop-up.

Are many people not able to get to Cory’s order page because they have all pop-ups blocked?

At my site, I often want a new page to open simply because many times people will show up at my site,
and want to click to read my extensive FAQ page I have.

I really did not want to include the FAQ’s on my main sales letter page.

Nor did I want people to be able to click to the FAQ page, and then hit the “x” in the top right hand corner after
finishing getting their questions asked……and leave my site forever.

Ok, what do the experts suggest?

Should I keep using the pop-up style hyperlinks?

Can anyone explain to me and this forum what I should consider doing,
and why Cory keeps his high conversion sales letter the way he does?

Thanks kindly to every one in advance. I truly appreciate all feedback.
