Last week, I saw a plenty of posts like “my browser demonstrates me undesirable Siteresolver.com pop-up advertisements, is it a computer virus?” or “these Siteresolver.com pop-up ads in my Chrome making me crazy, how to manage them?”.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a Siteresolver.com) offer you pop-up ads. The message can have something like “do you want to have notices relating to the current information?” or “permit notifications to be reported regarding latest discount rates?”. Typically, such messages are harmless, and can only sidetrack you with its abrupt showing up. Plus it can be quickly turned off, in case alerts from this website are no longer required.
Pop-up alerts are rather an efficient advertising and marketing tool. If you are interested in products of some type, you can allow pop-ups from the site where you can acquire this stuff, and as quickly as these products are in inventory again, or if you can have a price cut – you will certainly get the notification about this. The counterparty – online merchants, vehicle lending services, etc – will certainly be in profit, too – customer will undoubtedly obtain a suggestion regarding the item he/she intended to pay for. And such a marketing method is practically cost-free – this element is extremely important for companies.
