The drop-dead worst offender is
"countdown" script. It works like this: When a visitor goes to sales landing page and doesn't buy, script comes on and makes a fallback offer good only for next 5 minutes or whatever. It will then proceed to remind you every few seconds of approaching END of countdown!
If at all possible your scripting should be cookie driven so that your returning visitors don't have to deal with same thing again. You can setup your script to only activate once per visitor, using identity of cookie in customer's computer.
Good scripting applied in a strategic way can increase your sales and give you more meaningful information about your customers, giving you an edge on competition. It should be used with restraint on key areas of your website to enhance your relationship with your customers.
Scripting can be considered a specialty. Should you feel it's more than you can handle, it's best to pay a seasoned Pro to do it for you. It's not all that expensive and will pay for itself in no time.
Here are sources of scripting I use: http://www.javascript.com/ http://www.scriptarchive.com/
