Fastclick

Fastclick was an advertising network which was one of the most visited domains according to Alexa (from the advertisements it serves on other websites). Fastclick paid publishers up to 65% of revenue it generated from ads on their sites. Fastclick's minimum advertising campaign amount was 1000 USD. It was acquired by ValueClick in August 2005.

Criticism

Its pop-ups are criticized for being very aggressive, bypassing both the Internet Explorer and Firefox pop-up blockers, even though the company denied these claims in the press. It is notably annoying, and it is frequently recommended by most experts to be avoided as it can interfere with other programs in ways such as: minimizing them, closing them down or even damaging them.
