Will A DHTML Overlay Or ThickBox Capturing Email Hurt SEO?

Some of our competitors use an overlay window on all their pages to sign a customer up for an email list (usually offering a coupon). Our questions is related to the impact on SEO the overlay might have.

Does anyone have experience doing this and is this a "safe" thing to do related to SEO?

Thanks...

Recovery From Google Penguin - Tips From The Trenches

9/10/2012 After spending weeks analyzing our link profile, determining spam vs. quality links, and looking at on-page factors, I’ve decided to share how I am recovering from Google’s latest visit to the zoo. I'm giving you the no holds barred (yes, all the embarrassing stuff) that most likely contributed to the site’s penalty and what I have done to try and fix it. No major wins yet, but we are on our way to a better and cleaner site profile that we can be proud of.

Worked at 4 startups from 97 - 2002, Then 8yrs as the Director of Optimization Research at MarketingExperiements and MarketingSherpa. Now co-own and help run a small portfolio of e-commerce companies as the head testing freak and marketing nerd.
