You can admit that some sites (like a Success-news.net) show you pop-up advertisements.

The counterparty – online merchants, vehicle lending companies, etc – will be in profit, too – buyer will surely obtain a suggestion concerning the product he/she planned to pay for. As well as such an advertising method is practically cost-free – this element is very vital for companies.
