LoL Hydra LoL



C2M deactivated a lot of accounts and no one said shit. Cut the double standard guys. My Hydra account is still standing since I did volume in the past with them even though I do not agree with this move from them all the same I did not appreciate it when Ruck cut my account from C2M.

I used to love Hydra when Joe Arquilla was around and I loved C2M.

But who gives a fuck....I don't.
 
Ummm I don't really see why everyone is making such a big deal out of this and singling Hydra out.

Maybe because they are an easy target?
Maybe because they are a favorite to poke fun at?

Those should be the only two reasons why, because almost all the networks do it, and have been doing so forever.

Its actually a very smart thing to do as a network because like Mike pointed out a lot of the big affiliate fraud rings bank on old inactive accounts to get through the cracks and avoid detection that new accounts typically get. Plus networks have a handful of AM's and since they are human, you can't really expect them to handle thousands of accounts when the majority of them are inactive or not producing any worthwhile volume.

If you don't like what they do, then don't fucking use them as a network, its not like there aren't 20,000 others to choose from that do the same damn thing. If Hydra wants to refocus their business model towards the quality top 5% of the affiliates, what's so wrong about that? They'll be running into stiff competition obviously, but if anything that shows that they haven't given up yet and that they are still trying.

I'm not playing favorites, this goes for all networks, but you singled Hydra out, so I will too.
 
Honestly I think you're just making a big fuss because it's Hydra...I'm pretty sure my C2M account was deactivated and I'm pretty sure whoever initially approved my account asked me about revenue figures. Boo fuckin hoo, when I want it back I'll pick up the phone and talk to them just like you did with Hydra and they re-activated your account. Isn't this pretty much like when you first sign up for a network most of them won't call you back and just wait till they hear from you? I don't see what the problem is if you haven't logged in in forever and they just want to clean up to prevent fraud.

Networks also inactivate accounts that are inactive to cut down on fraud. Usually the accounts being sold out there are ones sitting dormant for years, the network approves one person who later sells it to someone else who runs an offer that good pubs are on, sends shit and ruins it for everyone. I would be cautious of those networks who dont do some deactivating as a fraud control measure. They are risking offers for the good pubs and souring the taste of CPA for advertisers

At less you didnt kick my account after 2 years of inactivity :banana_sml:. Time to login before I never get a chance again.

Mason, c'mon dude. I know you're trying to think of this from a pure numbers standpoint but you have no clue. I'm sure every network would love to have what you think you can build, a fuck off and die unless you make a billion dollars a month network. I can understand from a fraud standpoint why you don't wanna maintain a shitload of inactive accounts. But peep this: when I ran traffic 6 months ago, I sent a few days worth of traffic which generated around $4K in leads or so. You guys essentially took that as my entire years earnings (as probably an affiliate making $11 per day baller status) and classified me as a jack shit producer. That to me is pure fail on your part.

I'll give you another simple scenario of why I haven't run traffic with you guys in a while. I personally like to concentrate on a few niches at a time and not spread myself thin with too many things going at once. Basically if I find a winner, I scale the shit out of it. So let's say my last two niches were Dating and Toolbar Downloads (hypothetically), and I've run that shit heavy for at least a few months. Your network is not known for the best selection of either of those niches. Sure I may split an offer or two, but when you are running with networks who are hungry for your traffic and will bend over backwards to get it, then I'm always gonna be loyal to them.

But when I get around to testing Gevalia coffee offers, then then I'll be sure to hit you guys up.

Yup, I find myself doing the same thing. If I have an idea and I know a network has the offer, then I'll run it otherwise I wouldn't even bother login. I just like it to always have the option available. Too bad Hydra never accepted me back in my newb day =(. The website I used in my application is a legit site with 50k/visitors a day too. This had always left a bad and arrogant impression to me.
 
I've got slightly under $50 outstanding with Hydra that was never paid to me. Could I be paid? Can't seem to PM you, Mason...

Pull your head off their cock, bro.
 
The same thing happened with my account. Their loss, not mine. I have other networks that carry the same offers as they do. So no biggie. It's just a shame that they don't have common courtesy.
 
Coepec sucks just as bad. They make you have to be approved to sign up with offers. WTF up with that. Besides my manager or whatever calls me all the time. Its like my ex girlfriend. Move the fuck on!
 
Which network is Coepec?

srsly broes, whats so wrong about this? If you want to run with them just PM mason. I rather have them delete you complaining fags than scrubbing 90% of the traffic.
