Anyone using Pop Ads?

[Borislav]

Guys anyone using pop ads, how much are they paying? Are they any good?

Do you mean the company PopAds or Pop Ads / Pop-unders in general?

I'll comment on the pop-under as an ad format more generically.

Pop-unders as an ad format are generally reviled by users, and because of this, almost no mainstream, well-respected sites uses pop-unders. Browsers have tools that help block pop-unders and from my own experience, they're generally effective, but some pop-unders still persist. One of the few sites where you can see a pop-under live is TheHill (I won't post the link), but that's more of a niche politics site. There are other niche politics site that have these too.

The ads themselves are generally direct-response focused and most of the demand is from the adult / warez / piracy scene. You'll either get a pop-ad from an advertiser like LiveJasmin, or a full-page pop that redirects the popped browser to another site, which is generally chock full of ads. I work with a few vendors that provide traffic from pop-unders and they can be profitable and they are cheaper than native networks. It is technically against IAB standards to have incentivized / redirected traffic without declaring it, but it's one of those things that don't get caught.

If you're trying to build a long-term relationship with users in the non-adult space, pop-unders are a bad play. If you're in the adult space, they're very common.

Popads works fairly decent in my opinion and has a very low payout threshold of
$5.

I know that I'm building my website that is in download niche and i think they will work well because its desktop traffic and my opinion is that it will make more money than CPA monetization method.

Those kinds of places won't make you much, better to go with CPA

In my experience desktop traffic don't convert well on CPA networks.

I also recommend Pop ads, they generate Very high CPM rate, I prefer to use better ad networks over Popads.
