There are sites that put ad links ON the player area so that you can only even see any controls after a "preliminary" hit there. Pop-up blocking helps to get able to simply USE such things.
The thing is that I didn't get about such behaviour at all for rather long myself. So no offence - maybe you're in your such early stage of experience:) Just saying:)
