You can admit that some sites (like a News-xovoni.cc) use you pop-up advertisements. The message can contain something like “do you want to receive alerts about the latest news?” or “enable notifications to be reported regarding new price cuts?”. Typically, such messages are riskless, and may only sidetrack you with its unexpected visual appeal. And it can be simply disabled, in case notifications from this site are no longer desired.
Pop-up notices are quite an reliable advertising mechanism. If you are interested in goods of some sort, you can enable pop-ups from the website where you can acquire this stuff, and as quickly as these items are in stock again, or if you can have a discount – you will get the notification about this. The counterparty – online retailers, vehicle lending companies, etc – will be in profit, too – buyer will definitely get a pointer regarding the product he/she meant to buy. And such an advertising technique is nearly free – this factor is very crucial for firms.
