How do popunder ads work?
Popunder is an ad that opens in a new window behind the browser. JavaScript technology is usually used to create it. Tracking the appearance of a new window is quite difficult. Because advertising in Popunder (unlike Popup) does not make it difficult to view the main content of the site, most users pay attention to the new block only after closing the main browser window. A distinctive feature of Pop-under advertising is that a new window opens when you try to close a pop-up banner on the site. As a result, the user who wants to close the ad gets a new one.
What do users feel about popunder?
Most users do not respond to ads that pop up in a new window: the page is usually closed without examining the content contained on it. Pop-under ads cause people to feel irritated, which turns them into anti-ads. Some website visitors use the pop-up blocker feature, which is available in almost all modern browsers, to disable Pop-under ads.
