Pop-up ads or pop-ups are often forms of online advertising on the World Wide Web intended to attract web traffic or capture email addresses.

Pop-ups are generally new web browser windows to display advertisements.

The pop-up window containing an advertisement is usually generated by JavaScript using cross-site scripting (XSS), sometimes with a secondary payload using Adobe Flash, but can also be generated by other vulnerabilities/security holes in browser security.

An online advertising network or ad network is a company that connects advertisers to web sites that want to host advertisements.

The key function of an ad network is aggregation of ad space supply from publishers and matching it with advertiser demand.

The phrase "ad network" by itself is media-neutral in the sense that there can be a "Television Ad Network" or a "Print Ad Network", but is increasingly used to mean "online ad network" as the effect of aggregation of publisher ad space and sale to advertisers is most commonly seen in the online space.

The fundamental difference between traditional media ad networks and online ad networks is that online ad networks use a central ad server to deliver advertisements to consumers, which enables targeting, tracking and reporting of impressions in ways not possible with analog media alternatives.

Display advertising is advertising on websites.

It includes many different formats and contains items such as text, images, flash, video, and audio.

The main purpose of display advertising is to deliver general advertisements and brand messages to site visitors.

A web banner or banner ad is a form of advertising on the World Wide Web delivered by an ad server.

This form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a web page.

It is intended to attract traffic to a website by linking to the website of the advertiser.

In many cases, banners are delivered by a central ad server.

When the advertiser scans their logfiles and detects that a web user has visited the advertiser's site from the content site by clicking on the banner ad, the advertiser sends the content provider some small amount of money (usually around five to ten US cents).

This payback system is often how the content provider is able to pay for the Internet access to supply the content in the first place.

Usually though, advertisers use ad networks to serve their advertisements, resulting in a revshare system and higher quality ad placement.
