Pop Up Ads - Pop Under Ads

Pop-ups are a common yet annoying form of advertising on the Internet. If you are just trying to make a much money as possible from your website, you could experiment with them.

If you are trying to grow the traffic and generate loyal visitors, however, you probably should stay away from them. Just consider the hundreds of pop-up blockers out there: there is a reason why they are so popular.

Pop-up ads or popups are a form of online advertising intended to increase web traffic or capture email addresses. It works when certain web sites open a new web browser window to display advertisements. The pop-up window containing an advertisement is usually generated by JavaScript, but can be generated by other means as well.

If domination of newspaper headlines, industry studies, consumer polls, and market reports is any indication, it's safe to say pop-up ads are the most contentious online advertising format yet.

One the one hand, we hear consumers chanting pop-ups are intolerable and should be stopped. Commercial ad-blocking software that zaps pop-ups indicates there are consumers whose hatred of pop-ups runs so deep they're willing to pay good money to retaliate.

On the other hand, research tells us consumers are OK with pop-ups -- in moderation. They understand most free sites are supported by ads, and viewing online ads is the price they pay to skirt subscriber fees.

A variation on the pop-up window is the pop-under advertisement, which opens a new browser window hidden under the active window. Pop-unders do not interrupt the user immediately and are not seen until the covering window is closed, making it more difficult to determine which web site opened them.
