I don't want to host pay sites that have pop ups.

That bugs the manure outta me too. We try to learn and be smart about targeting our traffic, not promoting mature content for teen sites, etc. But then, sponsors (and I include a couple of big ones here) will do the most self-defeating stuff. Like if I make a free site promoting asians, and am sending the surfer to (presumably) an Asian site for the sponsor, that sponsor will pop up a half-dozen consoles immediately, in front of the tour I'm sending the surfer to, for mature, gangbang, etc. - pretty much guaranteeing that the surfer's never gonna see that Asian tour I tried so hard to convince him to visit.

I'm sure they do marketing research that convinces them this is a Good Thing, but it sure seems counter-intuitive to me.
