Banner ads are here for nearly 22 years. The marketers all over the world fight with the problem. If they should use the pop up or pop under banners. In this article, we will give you the short guide to the pop under banners.
Pop-up banner or popunder banner?
All starts when the new window is open. Either is your computer of smartphone. Speaking of pop ups, your home screen is completely blocked with the ad. A pop up ad will jumps at a new browser window. On top of the one currently being viewed. The first thing comes to your mind is “I need to close this stupid ad right now!” The key problem with this is that it can be viewed as pretty pushy and disturbing.
On the other hand, pop under commercials work more user friendly. Rather than being showed in your front screen, the new window releases behind the one that is being viewed at the moment. It does not disturb the user experience. There is more.
If the users have many browser windows open, the trick is when they’re finished with the website they were browsing at first and shut it, if they come thru a pop under ad. They are less likely to identify from which webpage banner came from. This is the reason users are also less likely to have a bad feeling about the webpage that loaded the popunder. The chance they will come back and browse again is higher.
Why you should use popunders more?

Waiting for its chance to excel.
More engagement – thanks to its higher CTR, website guests are more likely to interact and cooperate with showing ads. The results are crystal clear. More sales, downloads, registrations or whatever your preferred purpose is. Why is it so? Since user is spending more time staring at your banner, it is higher chance he will actually read the ad and interact with.
Space to shine – you have an entire screen worth of space to play with. Let your creative team does the work. Engage with your customers. The full screen is all yours. Place call to action buttons, relevant slogans or flashy pictures where they attract. Users are more likely to convert.
