What Is Pop Traffic?
Pop traffic (often called pop-under ads) is one of the most straightforward and cost-effective forms of digital advertising. These ads appear immediately when a user opens a page, taking over part of the screen and ensuring your message is seen right away.
Pop ads work by automatically opening a new browser window or tab when a user visits a website.
Why use pop traffic?
- Cross-device reach — works equally well on desktop and mobile.
- Low cost — CPC is generally cheaper compared to other traffic sources.

Best Verticals For Pop
If you’re in these verticals, Pop is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to reach users at scale.
