I was thinking about the review I did for HydraMedia and realized that it was the network that I was having the most success with the GoogleCash direct-linking method.
Here’s the problem, though. Almost every single time I had a profitable affiliate product going with Hydra they pulled search on it. I mean, almost every single time!
Now, when you’re dealing with CPA networks offers do expire, so it’s part of the game. That’s fine. But how could it be that every single profitable offer I ran through search got search pulled on it?
One theory is that if you don’t encrypt your keywords and you’re linking to directly to the merchant site, then they merely watch until they figure out what keywords from affiliates are profitable and then pull search and run those keywords themselves.
I’m not saying that this is what’s happening, but it’s certainly a possibility.

Hi Paul,
We totally understand your frustration and I can assure you we have no clue what keywords you are bidding on! While we do our best to explain to advertisers what allowing search promotion means (namely competing with our affiliates on keywords) they, like anyone, change their minds. That said, we do put limitations, such as allowing our affiliates at least 48 hours notice.
We will continue to do our best to educate our advertisers on this and I believe we’ve already made great head way in curtailing this.
All the best,
Ellie
