Hydra CPA Network

This was the first CPA Network I applied to – ever. After calling them I had to answer a few question (mainly how I generate traffic) before they approved me. Their requirements aren’t very high and they will also accept “newbies”, but you should have a site that you can show them.

Niche CPA Offers

Hydra has been around for a while, you will quickly find that out. They have a lot of campaigns (400+) and a lot of different niches: Giveaways, Financial, Health, Education, Insurance, Entertainment, Retail, UK, E-Mail/Zip Submits

Many campaigns, No EPC Info – Hard to pick a winner

They have so many campaigns that you will have a hard time to find a good campaign. Other networks will display the EPC to make it easier to pick a well-converting campaign. Hydra does not.
However, they have usually the most and best creatives and very specific details what kind of traffic is allowed and what not. After reading their instructions carefully, you can start sending traffic immediately.

Precise Traffic Instructions

DLS (PPV Traffic)
Search (PPC Traffic via Search Engines)
Mail (E-Mail traffic)
Contextual (Blogs, Sites, …)
Banners (Banners on your site are allowed)

Let’s say there is a campaign that only allows Banner traffic, then you are not allowed to write a review and put that banner below it.
Do not send traffic to “E-Mail only” campaigns, they are only available if you do E-Mail marketing. Always ask your AM if you are not sure what is allowed.

Hydra Network Pros:

• Many niches and campaigns
• Low requirements to get accepted
• Many creatives for almost every campaign
• Very specific traffic instructions, therefore you are auto-approved to about 90% of all their campaigns.
• Most E-Mail submit campaigns you will find anywhere

Hydra Network Cons:

• Too many campaigns without info about EPC – hard to pick a winner
• AM support only average due to the size of the network
• Payouts are only average (you can get better deals if you get access to private campaigns)
• Campaigns expire regularly, actually any campaign that I sent traffic to expired after just 1 week (other networks have a lower competition and offers will not expire that fast)
