Hey,
ReplyDeleteIndeed a nice post!!
It is a well Known fact that advertisers are constantly looking for any way to draw attention to their products. Although typical banner ads are still used heavily, they now seem to be almost invisible to the average web surfer. Pop ups and other intrusive types of advertising are now used to thrust an ad in your face that you have no choice but to at least acknowledge. Regardless of the nature of the ad, pop ups are a nuisance.
Thanks a lot for sharing this post and making us aware of the many options available for keeping them off of your mobile screen all together.
Keep Posting :)
