Monetize traffic with Popunder from HilltopAds

In HilltopAds, we provide user-friendly tools to help you incorporate PopUp and PopUnder formats into your website monetization strategy. These ad format are CPM-based.

What is a Pop-up ad format?

A pop-up ad is a separate window that appears above the main browser window and takes the website visitor to the tab with the advertisement, typically triggered by a specific action or time delay.

What is a Pop-under ad format?

A pop-under ad opens in a new browser window underneath the current window, ensuring that it remains in view when the user closes the main window. This format offers less interruption to the user experience while still delivering the advertiser's message.

How to create a Pops ad zone on a website?

  1. Go to the Manage Site & Zones section;

  2. Click on the Add zone button which is available only for a verified website;

  3. Specify the Name of a zone;

  4. Select the Popunder ad format from the ad formats list.

  5. Copy the necessary code and paste it on the page of your website before the </body> tag.

What a Popunder ad code should you choose?

At HilltopAds, you can work with 4 types of Popunder ad codes:

  • Direct URL is a format for opening Popunder ads when clicking on a specific element of the website. You can place this type of code anywhere on the site - on a button, image, etc.

  • Popunder S2S anti AdBlock or Popunder script with anti AdBlock are JS codes with Anti AdBlock solution. These scripts are perfect for those whose traffic is mostly desktop.
