Yes, gift number 2 this week is the popunders.
Love them or hate them. I'm sitting on the fence on this. A lot of people have come to us asking for pops and so we've implemented, let's call them popunder Lite for now. We are still taking tentative steps in this region and have teamed up with Casale Media. We are splitting this 50/50. At the moment, as we are a new partner for them, their rev share is fairly low and our pops are paying out at around $1.00-1.20 on a RPM basis rather than a click basis. It's a nice bit of extra cash and it is phase 1. We are looking at doing more interesting things with them in the future.
As far as stats are concerned, due to the rise of Firefox and improving pop blockers, the stats numbers you'll see for the popunders will naturally be lower than the views for your parked domains. We display the views as Casale display them to us.
More things to come on this issue and more things to come later today for new gifrts. More of a prize than a gift, I suppose.
Popunders are automatically disabled for everyone as default, before you ask
