The box you've seen isn't on this site (pop-up less). It is on London and Country Mortgages site. They asked me if they could link here as they believe after people have saved money on remortgaging they are looking for other options and it provides a services for their customers. I of course said yes - (its not paid for, rather nice of them actually) and so now when you close of of L&Cs website you get a little pop-up about this site.
I hadn't thought people might think it a paid pop-up ad though i might ask them if they'd mind adding the phrase "this is a recommendation not an advert" to it.

There are other ways to save money too, why not check out the website of Martin Lewis for other money savings tips and ideas? He is a journalist who spends his life looking at ways people can spend less and get more (this is a recommendation not an advert).
Pretty crap link though, not very appealing! But free advertsing is better than nout! ;D0 -
