DealTop is described as useful tool that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons, deals and commercial offers. However, the problem is that all those deals and coupons come in annoying form of web advertisements.

Ads by DealTop can be displayed in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on any of your web browsers at any time as well.

Usually ads displayed by Deal Top appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Do not fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of those ads this way. And we suggest not to do that.
