Best Pop Ad Networks for Buying Selling Traffic in 2023

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 huge 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 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 advertising 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 good 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 post also answers your questions related to pop ads like –

• Are pop ads good for my niche?
• Is it a waste of time and money to invest in pop ads?
