Pop ads and pop-under media buying are other names for pop advertising. And it will probably do the same things that mobile advertising does. Pop ads get you colossal web traffic for your advertising campaign, and that too at a very cheap cost per click. The most common bidding method is CPM and CPC. You either pay for clicks or for a thousand impressions.
Being an active media buyer, I have used several self-serve advertising platforms, and the pop ad has been my favorite ad format.
You must look for several features before running your campaign with a pop ad network.
- Retargeting – It is possible if you see an audience management option while creating a campaign
- Interest Targeting – To avoid irrelevant traffic (to a reasonable extent), Interest targeting is crucial
- Smart CPA – Since every ad network implements advanced conversion tracking, it is essential to pay for conversions and assure positive ROI
- Restrictions – Some networks restrict iGaming ads, etc. Check with your account manager before launching your campaign.
So, in this post, I have listed the top pop ad networks to help you choose from the best. The center also answers your questions related to pop ads like –
- Are pop ads suitable for my niche?
- Is it a waste of time and money to invest in pop ads?
- Is there any risk if I run pop ads and Google Adsense simultaneously on my website?
- How to launch your first pop ad campaign?

13. RevenueHits
Lastly, RevenueHits scores a pretty good rating on the ad network directories. So, you can expect good conversion coming for your campaign.

RevenueHits is for niche sites. You get massive traffic, and in return, you make it HUGE. No tall talks. It is real.
Wrapping Up
In affiliate marketing (where performance is the priority), you can not deny the effectiveness of pop ads. Though there are several other ad formats that you can use to monetize your traffic or launch your campaign, you can go with any of the networks listed above.
Million Dollar Tip: You can use this mode of advertising for your own landing pages. The only thing you would want to do is- learn how to open a pop-under window when someone clicks anywhere on your website. The next thing is always opening your own landing page (or randomizing it).
