You can admit that some sites (like a News-lozagu.cc) use you pop-up advertisements. The message can have something like “do you want to get alerts about the most recent news?” or “allow notifications to be reported regarding new discount rates?”.

Pop-up notifications are rather an efficient advertising tool. If you have an interest in products of some type, you can allow pop-ups from the website where you can buy this things, and also as soon as these things are in stock again, or if you can have a price cut – you will obtain the notification concerning this. The counterparty – online merchants, auto lending companies, etc – will certainly be in profit, too – customer will surely get a reminder concerning the item he/she planned to pay for. And also such an advertising approach is almost free – this factor is extremely crucial for companies.
