The Ozy story continues to emphasize the gravity of verification for all media buys. Knowing your rep or meeting the CEO is not an adequate substitute for verifying your ad dollars.

At best, some publishers are ignorant of the issues as they continue to buy traffic to meet an advertiser’s request. At worst, some publishers are malicious and their bottom line is to take your ad dollars.
