You can admit that some sites (like a News-baridi.cc) show you pop-up ads.

Pop-up notices are rather an efficient advertising tool. If you want items of some type, you can give a permission to the pop-ups from the internet site where you can get this things, and as soon as these things are in stock again, or if you can have a price cut – you will get the notification regarding this. The counterparty – online sellers, automobile lending companies, etc – will remain in profit, too – buyer will undoubtedly obtain a reminder regarding the item he/she intended to pay for. And also such an advertising approach is practically free of charge – this element is really essential for companies.
