I'l give you the benefit of the doubt. There are indeed some leeches out there. However, I recently got booted from the Eversave offer on Hydra and my traffic was NOT BH. In fact, I had their banner on a "save money on stuff" type site - which is EXACTLY what eversave is all about.
Eversave tried to tell Hydra the same thing - that my leads did not have a good conversion rate. There's simply no fucking way. I couldn't have created more targeted traffic if I tried. I think they just did it to beat me out of the multiple $100s in commission they owed me.

I wouldn't put it all on Hydra.
Remember, they're just a middle man. They make their money when we do. If I don't make money, then neither do they.
I blame Eversave.
I've done tens of thousands through Hydra in other offers (mostly EDU) and never had any problems. I'm just saying that this CAN and DOES happen. One of many reasons why you need to diversify your portfolio of offers and networks.

Please, no one else get this wrong idea,
DIRTYC is 100% right
This is how ALL affiliate networks run. I've been with many networks since 2004 I've noticed more BH methods work longer than my WH methods. the networks are out to make money simply put.
No.1 rule in every business you do, regardless whether its BH or WH- DIVERSIFY YOUR PORTFOLIO!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm, maybe your leads were not converting for the advertiser so the advertiser requested you be taken off their offer (like the email says). If this is indeed the case I don't think any blame should be placed on Hydra as they're just trying to keep their advertisers happy.
It's not a big deal, you didn't get canned from the network or anything.

Hydra is really proactive on shit... The best advice I can give you... Keep Hydra for your whitehat/greyhat shit. They have a shitload of great offers and convert well. You just can't go sending them a bunch of garbage and expect to get away with it for long... Just not really gonna happen IMO.

Will you guys please tell me your conversion rate on Hydra? I am trying to get an idea because I just installed some offers of theirs on some of my sites and I am wondering what to expect.
Thanks
Thanks
I love Hydra. It's my favorite network. Their offers tend to convert well, provided I've got a decent promotion going.
To the OP, they're protecting their interests. To expect them to do otherwise is delusional. They're a business; you're a business.

I think Neverblue is brOOtal, the networks I wouldnt do a lot of BH stuff with are hydra, copeac and neverblue.
I thought neverblue was hard, but my friend's neverblue account is still fine despite he is using fake VCCs and stuff.
If ur using Hydra to do BH stuff, you're just wasting your time. But if you're using Neverblue, you can still get away.
