Yes/yes buttons
Instead of "yes/no" where one button converts the user and the other closes the offer, have 2 "yes" buttons but with slightly different desired outcomes. For example, the first button could say "Yes, I want a free domain". The second could say "No, I just want to build a website."

Yes/no buttons
Instead of having just one option, have a second that basically just closes the window. For example, the "Yes" could be "Yes, give me access". The "No" could be "Maybe next time". Try adding and then changing this text to see what works best.
