Can I add a Pre-lander to my OnClick Landing Page?
Yes, adding Pre-landers to your Popunder Landing Page is possible. But you’ll need to use redirecting software to add this extra step to your funnel.
What are the differences between Popunder and Popup?
The difference between Popunder and Popup ads is the fact that the first opens a new tab in the browser under the main page the user is browsing on, not obstructing his session.
On the other hand, the latter opens on top of the page the user is viewing, so unless he notices the “X” sign to close the Popup, he will end up leaving the main page he was on.
Popunder or popup: what is the best and why?
Popunder is the most preferred option by many advertisers because they are less invasive, opening the ad in a new tab under the main one the user is viewing. This format is also more user-friendly.
Since it doesn’t obstruct the page as Popups do, users are more likely to engage with the Popunder content (resulting in a higher CR), as opposed to just closing the ad.
