I never really considered schemes to cheat CPA networks as 'blackhat'. Blackhat is blackhat seo. Manipulating search engine results in your favor via any means necessary. Besides that though, why didn't you spread your traffic around to different networks? Stay under the radar!

I consider "under the radar" not sending tons of traffic to one offer at one network that converts at near 100% If you are "incentivizing" with something like unlocking a bitorrent or something, it looks suspicious if every visitor to your link completes the zip submit or survey or whatever. Try opening a couple of accounts at each network (relative or dba name or something) don't run 4 g's on one offer at one network and you won't attract as much attention from your account rep. Also, mix in some crap traffic that ain't gonna convert to make it look natural.
okay, so how much do you think like 300 a day per affiliate is okay? i was doing just like 200 though.. and another thing.. they are saying the reason for me being banned is because of too many complaints? Wut is the best way to avoid these complaints? hiding aff link / cloaking it? can anyone reccomend programs? that way my aff link is never shown right?

brittany46 already told you how.
haha yeah she did. my bad. buttt the thing is, when i was banned, it said due to complaints. has anyone had this problem? is it the people giving me leads complaining? i dont see why they would? or the aff company? i just dont understand why they would complain... Lets say it is people giving me the leads complaining ... for whatever reason.. If i were to cloak my aff link, i would be alright correct? and if thats true, can anyone recommend a good aff link cloacker to me? free or paid. thankss oh and if im completely wrong, someone please tell me wut im doing wrong. i just want to learn 
sorry if i come off as stupid/ noob/ annoying.

if none of your leads buy, then yeah, the advertiser is gonna complain and track the affiliates - banning the ones whose leads are NOT converting to sales.
seen it before, it's for real

If you cloak a CPA offer link and send traffic directly to that cloaked link then how can you hide the referrer? What am I missing?

i think he means to hide the referer from your affiliate. you can hide all of your affiliate info by putting it in an iframe, but i think your affiliate can still see who your referer is. does anybody know a script that can iframe and meta refresh? i think that script would be the best combo

Bottom line is the advertiser gets what the advertiser wants. Low lead conversions are normal on a lot of offers like "win a free cruise" email submits but they still want to see where all the traffic is coming from.
If they see a sky high conversion rate or an odd referrer, they are going to assume something is fishy. brittany46 basically stated the best way to avoid trouble, bring your conversion rate down with other traffic and spread it over multiple CPA accounts.
If your leads are using BS phone numbers or thier data is run through a verification system and nothing matches, your going to get complaints ans the network will cancel your account.

Not doing it in the first place is a good place to start. It's one thing to try and manipulate the search engines. It's another thing entirely to try and scam a company out of its money using bogus sign-ups, which is what I assume you're doing. That's nothing more than blatant theft, if that is what you're doing.
Maybe you should ask Millnic. They would know better than us.
The funniest thing is, if you folks put half as much effort into doing things the right way as you do trying pull a fast one on somebody, you'd likely make as much or more money, without the risk of losing 4g'z once they catch on to you.
But that's me....

Alderous,
I too have my custom built fully automated torrent system, ( torrent maker, submitter and traffic redirector)
I haven't been flagged so far and I think its due to the following.
1) Use a redirect file that hides the referer as well as the obvious network url ( which is why you got caught) and also enables you to change offers on the fly
2) Spread out the offers across various networks,
3) Rotate offers and use GEO ip targeting.
I don't let my earnings from any one network exceed 50 bucks a day.. as at that level they don't investigate you..
