This is a Google message about using pop ups :
"Pages that show intrusive interstitials provide a poorer experience to users than other pages where content is immediately accessible. This can be problematic on mobile devices where screens are often smaller.

Google encourages a better browsing experience for users especially for mobile devices; Therefore, pages that use pop-up windows that include a portion of the content will be underrated.
