Short summary of the Djpjwf.com pop-ups:

Djpjwf pop-up advertisements, as opposed, have a deal with untrustworthy websites. You will commonly see the proposition to enable them after a redirection from another website. There’s nothing bad in redirecting unless they throw you into such a dubious place. In this case, turning on pop-up ads is served as the anti-DDoS filtering. Alternatively, the websites may refuse to show you the content unless you enable these pop-up advertisements. These requirements should be the red flag, as websites commonly have a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Spectating such an offer is a reason to leave the site right away. Sometimes, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not see the site – the sole page it has is a landing page with the offer to turn on the pop-up notifications.

How does this work?

Most of browsers support turning on pop-ups from websites. Websites, on the other hand, can send out notifications with the content they like. It can be a promotion of the product or a page listed for sale on this site, as well as an ad of the page of their partner. As a result, you may see the push notification from site X, but opening it will redirect you to site Y – because a referral link to the latter was built in.

The banners these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It usually provides a miserable commission for one viewer, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and show them hundreds of ads every day – that is a way bigger sum. Even though most of such banners giving no result at all, it can still bring all the participants a lot of money.
