Editor's verdict

PopAds does one thing: popunders. It has run since 2010, and for publishers its appeal is cash flow. You can withdraw from $5 by PayPal, and withdrawal requests are processed every day. Very few networks pay that fast or from that low.

Rates are set by live bidding, not by PopAds. They depend on your visitors’ countries, your site’s quality score and niche, and even the day of the week; weekends are lower because most advertisers pause. Loans and insurance sites earn more than freebie sites, and adult sites are accepted as long as the content is legal.

Two cautions. Running another popunder network alongside PopAds can lower your rate, so set the other one as the default code. And parts of the official FAQ look old: it still lists AlertPay, a payment service that shut down years ago, so confirm current payment methods in the dashboard.

About PopAds

PopAds is a popunder ad network owned by Tomksoft S.A., a company based in Costa Rica, with support in Poland and its technical team in the US. It has operated since 2010 and serves both publishers and advertisers.

How publishers earn

Rates are fully dynamic and set by a bidding system, not by PopAds. They depend on the visitor’s country, the website’s quality and niche, and the day and time. Sites about loans or insurance earn better rates than freebie sites, and rates are lower at weekends because most advertisers are closed.

Allowing more popunders per visitor lowers the average rate, because the most expensive popunder is served first, but total revenue rises because more popunders are shown. Publishers can set a minimum bid and can opt out of gambling and software-download campaigns.

Which sites are accepted

All websites that do not break US or Costa Rican law. Adult sites are accepted if the content is legal. Each site gets an automatic quality rating, and lower-rated sites receive lower rates. PopAds has advertisers from more than 50 countries and runs at least 1,000 unique campaigns a day.

Payments

  • Minimum withdrawal: $5 by PayPal, $500 by wire transfer.
  • Frequency: request a withdrawal any time you are above the minimum; requests are processed daily.
  • Taxes: handled by the publisher.

The official FAQ also lists AlertPay, which no longer operates, so check current methods in your account.

For advertisers

Bidding starts at $1.00 per 1,000 popunders. The minimum deposit is $10 by PayPal, with no minimum for wire transfers. Campaigns are usually approved within 24 hours, including weekends, and unspent funds can be withdrawn.

Referral program

Refer a publisher and you earn 10% of their earnings. Refer an advertiser and you earn 10% of their spending.
