My terrible experience with Sovrn/Lijit

While I can't comment on the quality of their ads, I will say their business practices are downright horrible.

Site was initially declined, which was fine. But they suggested things to 'fix'. I did that and reapplied. Declined again, but no worries, more things to fix.

Third time was the charm though! Everything was good. Except that I needed to e-mail them from an official account from my domain, not my personal email. They wanted 'proof' of site ownership. Weird, but alright. You'd think they'd just give you a code to place on the site...

Didn't have a domain email set up since it was a personal blog, so I went and spent a few bucks to get one.

Declined again, this after telling I would be accepted after showing proof of ownership with more absurd reasons as to the newest decline.

They are 'very sorry' for the inconvenience though of me spending money after they initially told me I would be accepted if I did that one thing.

Oh, and like many of you, they continue to feel the need to e-mail me their spam newsletter (which I never signed up for). I asked why they were doing so and was told 'we thought you might appreciate some helpful tips'.
