You can admit that some sites (like a Snadsnews.com) use you pop-up ads.

The counterparty – online stores, car lending companies, etc – will certainly be in profit, too – purchaser will certainly get a reminder about the product he/she intended to purchase. As well as such an advertising technique is almost free – this aspect is extremely important for firms.
