Old-school format. Next-level revenue.

If you run a website, chances are you’ve tried Pop ads — and if not, you’re leaving serious money on the table.

Love them or hate them, Pops deliver. It’s one of the few ad formats that consistently brings high CPM, stable traffic monetization and is optimized according to Google’s best practices. And when done right? It delivers consistent earnings.

At ProfitOn, we help publishers get the most out of every single impression. Let’s break down why Pops still dominate and how to make them work for you.

Pops: The Classic That Converts​

Pop ads open in a new browser tab — either in front of or behind the main one — grabbing attention when it matters most. That undivided attention leads to unmatched engagement, top rates, and real revenue growth.

What makes Pops a go-to for webmasters:​

  • High CPMs

  • Every impression counts. No wasted traffic

  • Google-friendly, user-first monetization
Whether you run a movie-related website, a software platform, a news site, or anything in between – Pops deliver best when paired with clean, high-quality traffic. And they consistently pay off.

Why Pops Still Crush It​

Pops play well with every device​

Desktop, mobile — doesn’t matter. Pop ads work across all major browsers, platforms and operating systems. With over 70% of traffic coming from mobile, that flexibility is non-negotiable.

Pro tip: If your site isn’t mobile-ready yet, it’s time – you could be missing out on major revenue.

Real performance in a post-banner world​

Banner fatigue is real. So is ad-blocking. Pops cut through the noise and still deliver your message.

And because they work across all verticals, all advertisers want this format — meaning you get the best deals and maximum demand. Whether your site focuses on entertainment, software, news, utilities, finance, movies, or any other niche — Pops monetize it cleanly and consistently.

Popup or Popunder? Here’s the Real Difference​

Both are types of Pop ads, but the user experience is the game-changer:

  • Popup opens immediately, in front of the screen.

  • Popunder opens quietly behind the tab.
Popups make an immediate impact, and often deliver better performance. Especially in mobile environments, where visibility means revenue.

Top 5 Reasons Why Popups Crush It​

1. Visibility means conversions
Users see it instantly. No guesswork. No missed impressions.

2. You decide when it fires
Trigger it on entry, scroll, click, or after a time delay. You control the user experience.

3. Higher engagement
Popups are front and center, so users are more likely to interact. That’s exactly what advertisers are looking for.

4. Clean and seamless user flow
No clunky redirects. Just smooth integration that keeps the user journey intact.

5. Mobile-first by design
Popups adapt perfectly to mobile environments, maintaining strong performance and helping you capture every impression and every dollar your traffic is worth.

Choosing Between Popup and Popunder?​

  • Popunders tend to perform better on news or social-style content

  • Popups shine on mobile, often outperforming Popunders in both reach and results by cutting through the mobile clutter.

  • Combine both strategically, for example, Popups on mobile and Popunders on desktop, to strike the right balance between performance and compliance.
