Comment on Panda 4.0: Why eBay lost many of its organic rankingsparent

Comments

I saw those for the first time yesterday. Apparently some asshat has a patent on displaying an interstitial when the mouse moves above a certain x coordinate dressed up as "measuring exit intent"

This one hurts my head.

They have a patent on moving the mouse cursor towards the address bar?!.

In this case it was BounceExchange, but others like Exit Monitor & Picreel do the same thing. Its popular on e-commerce sites where you have a funnel for converting vistors to paid customers.

Yep, that's them. Bounce exchange is the one that has the garbage patent.
