Brief summary of the Juicebike.online pop-up ads:

Juicebike.online pop-ups, in contrast, have a deal with unlegit web pages. You will generally see the offer to turn them on after a redirection from another website. Redirects are OK unless it throws you to such a dubious place. At that point, turning on pop-up notifications is offered as the anti-DDoS check-up. Alternatively, the websites can refuse to show you the contents unless you enable these pop-up ads. These theses should be the red flag, as websites commonly have a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Spectating this offer should be the reason to skip the website doubtlessly. In some cases, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not get to the website – it has only a landing page with the offer to turn on the pop-up notifications.

How does it work?

Most of web browsers support turning on push notifications from sites. Websites, on the other hand, can send notifications with the content they want. It may be an advertisement of the product or a page published on this particular site, as well as an ad of their partner page. As a result, you can see the push notification from site X, but interacting with 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 pay for one person, but when you have hundreds of users and show them hundreds of ads each day – that is a much more significant sum. Despite the majority of such ads giving no result at all, it may still give all the parties a lot of profit.
