Just when i thought the annoying pop up ads phenomenon has been decreased significantly across the web, a new formula of it began to appear this year- Pop under ads. In this post i want to plead and explain to all you online business owners, why you shouldn’t use this kind of dubious advertising.

The concept behind pop under ads is pretty simple: While all web browsers learned to block pop up ads, some geniuses found a new trick- Instead the ad will pop above the page, it will pop under it. Browsers don’t block them and many times users are finding stack of ads they didn’t know of, when they close their pages.
