I usually find them more annoying because with a popup you have a window you can always terminate easily. The DHTML popups never actually have to close or give you the option to close. Most of them now make you watch their stupid animation before displaying a small close button. And some interject music or sound effects on you, which is almost always annoying.

The sad part is that people actually click on these ads. There has to be some kind of ROI or else we wouldn't see all of this spam. I wish there was an easy way to educate people to not click on spam.
