I actually like splash pages becasue when I want something I want it now without all the bells and whistles I DON’T NEED. If I am trying to buy something – BAM – let be make a purchase without clicking a hundred times.

I had a splash page up a few years ago and the bounce rate was horrible.

You should have a splash page on certain sites for example http://www.UPS.com or DHL.com to distinguish the country your client is coming from, and perhaps direct him or her to a more appropriate site.

Other than that I tell my clients who want splash pages to leave the splash at the pool.
