Welcome to 2011.
$750 withou too much work? I find flaws in that statement. And pop-up ads? This IS 2011. Surfers are savvy and a pop-up ad is a joke.

You would have been better off sinking $1,500 into a well written and direct text link via any niched site for whatever category you are going after.

In other words? Just because it's a "big company" doesn't mean shit. They are overpriced in some instances in order to keep that "big company" reputation.

Research and then spend. I'd rather get 6 clicks to a great well designed/written ad per day than a bazillion popups for the same price.
