Energy Savings Trust Banners

I think people would benifit from this idea - Advantages: Get rewards - Disadvantages: Hard to find your way around the site

The Energy Savings Trust are not bad people. I have to keep telling myself that. Why do I have an irrational fear of the Energy Savings Trust? Why do I feel the urge to open windows and turn on unnecessary electrical appliances whenever I see their logo? Because I hate ‘pop-ups’. After dipping a toe in a few threads on this topic on discussion boards, here's my thoughts on the Energy Savings Trust campaign. Like many internet users I find that a programme that invades my life and opens a new small window, obscuring what I am doing, against my will, to be hugely annoying. Yes, I can minimise the window and it won’t ...  Read the complete review

Whose bright idea was this one then? The little energy saving pop ups that infuriatingly pop up every time I go to a different page are the most annoying thing under the sun. Yes, it's a form of advertising, and if Dooyoo are going to be able to pay out on our hard-eanred dooyoo miles then the revenue has to come from somewhere, but why every time I go to a different page?

I’m not even criticising the pop-up topic itself, I mean “Click here to save energy” is a great incentive to ...  Read the complete review

Of all the techniques employed in web design, there are few that I find more annoying than having unsolicited windows popping up all over the place. Annoyingly, this is a fad that seems to have recently become very popular amongst web advertisers.... web demographics indicate that conventional advertising just isn't working, and advertisers are starting to resort to new tactics to grab our attention. The "energy efficiency" banner campaign currently showing on dooyoo is a prime example - every time you hit a page with an "energy efficiency" banner, a new pop-up window appears telling me to "click here to save energy". ...  Read the complete review
