Thank you for taking the rejection so well, we hate to give them, and if we had known it was someone writing to review us, we could have given you at least a trial version.
The reason we are so strict (we reject about 60% of applications) is because we are in a privileged position to have affiliate networks and merchants trust us to approve sites on their behalf. Because an account with us means an account with 7,500 active merchant accounts, we have to judge a site based on whether we think all our merchants will want to work with this site. We look at how often they update, original content, professional design, traffic numbers, etc. Sometimes its hard to judge and we get it wrong, and we do tend to err on the side of caution, but it does mean on the whole we have a very high quality network of original content sites. I’m sure you can understand why we need to do this, although I of course understand its horrible to be on the receiving end of such emails, I know I would! Any suggestions on how to soften the blow?

My team will contact you today to see if we can give you at least a trial account so you can properly test and review us.

Cheers
