You can admit that some sites (like a News-hovupi.cc) use you pop-up advertisements. The message can contain something like “do you want to have notices about the most up to date news?” or “allow notifications to be reported about latest discounts?”.

Pop-up alerts are quite an effective advertising and marketing instrument. If you have an interest in items of some type, you can allow pop-ups from the site where you can acquire this things, and also as soon as these items are in store again, or if you can have a discount – you will get the alert about this. The counterparty – online retailers, automobile lending services, etc – will be in profit, too – customer will certainly get a reminder concerning the item he/she intended to pay for. And such an advertising method is almost free – this element is extremely important for companies.
