I personally use primarily Copeac, and have a very easy to reach, helpful affiliate manager. Also use NeverBlue but haven't been terribly happy with them to be honest. After reading this post, definitely will not even be signing up for Hydra.
Shit like this just makes me give even more props to Mike Krongel for running a tight shop.

Huh. This thread reaks of Hydra sucking ass. Maybe I need to switch to Tammy as well. My AM at Hydra SUCKS at responding to anything.
Would love to see them post here.... I know the co-founders did every once in a while... but seeing as they were just fired....
Sounds like Hydra is full of shit. Fuck them queers. If I lost 25 grand I d be at their door with a sawed off shotgun .I've been using C2M and Ruck and the boys have been awesome as hell.
Yeah Charlie at Hydra sucks, I stopped using them because of that toolbag. I now use Motive and Chris Rodeno is the shit. Best AM IMO
Yep..I've been using C2M too..and Steve is my Affiliate Manager..awesome so far!
Hi Charlie!!
Hydra monitors this forum and I'm pretty sure they know about this thread. There has been other threads of people getting screwed by hydra and they knew of the thread but chose not to post.
I was also screwed by hydra and charlie. When you listen to what they have to say, this is the jist of it "we love the advertisers, not the publishers". They back the advertisers all the way and will throw you under the bus for a nickel.
Take your traffic elsewhere, C2M is the best IMO.
good luck, BTP32. The most I got was part of my traffic costs back.

I would seriously considering hiring a CA attorney to file a law suit in civil court against them. The action will probably cost you about 2-3k to file but they would most likely pay up at that point. CA attorneys are a dime a dozen btw so you might be able to find someone to do it for much less.
$25,000 is no joke, you might want to consider taking legal action. From what I gather this is not the first time Hydra has done this either. I'm a newb and with A4d, they have been so damn good to me and my AM Jay has given me some amazing advice on how to improve my campaigns. I'll be staying away from Hydra
I don't know. I will find out. But I don't see why someone will go against their word. I was confirmed over the phone that Hydra pays for the bad leads (as long as they were done accordance to the terms of the offer) up to the point when you're notified to stop the traffic by the advertiser.
