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?

The majority of web browsers support enabling push notifications from sites. Websites, on the other hand, can send notifications with the content of their choice. It can be a promotion of the page listed for sale on this 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 direct you to site Y – because a referral link to that website was added.

The banners these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It commonly provides a miserable pay for one viewer, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and make it hundreds of times every day – that is a way bigger sum. Even though the majority of such ads giving no result at all, it can still give all the parties a lot of profit.
