To be successful with PPC Coach, you’re going to need to join some quality affiliate networks and one of my favorites is Hydra Network. What makes Hydra Network different from every other CPA network out there? Well first of all, it’s not running off DirectTrack like most other CPA Networks. Hydra has its own proprietary real-time campaign tracking which is known for its accuracy and reliability. It also has tons of exclusive offers that you won’t see on other networks. This includes plenty of email and zip submit offers which makes Hydra Network a great network for starting out with the PPC Coach poll method.
When you first login to your Hydra account, you will see a snapshot of your monthly and year to date revenues on the left hand side of the page. One thing I wish they would add is a link to your current day’s earnings on the front page. In the middle of the page, you can see the latest offers that have been added to the network. Hydra is one of the biggest CPA networks out there, and they’re usually adding several offers a day, many of which are exclusive. At the time of this review, they have over 360 exclusive offers which is huge.
Clicking through to a specific offer, the allowed types of promotion are clearly specified in the description. Also included in the description is what specific action needs to be taken for you to get credit for a lead. Getting your affiliate tracking url is straight-forward and the interface easily allows you to add your own subid. If you want to see what an offer looks like, you can do so by clicking on the ‘Test Click’ link and the offer landing page will open up in a new window.
As mentioned above, Hydra offers real time stat tracking and your reports are accessible from the Reports tab. There are quick links to your Todays and Yesterdays earnings which is quite convenient. Reports can be easily exported to CSV for offline viewing. By checking the ‘Show Sub IDs’ and ‘Show Actions Only’ checkboxes you can filter your report to show only your conversions. I use this feature all the time to quickly upload and update my earnings in Prosper202.
For those of you who need a little incentive, Hydra also offers a nice little rewards program. Earn $5000 in a month, and you’ll win a $50 American Express gift card. If you’re a super affiliate and can earn more than $150k a month, you can bring home cool prizes like a Sharp 42 inch LCD TV, or an Apple Macbook Pro. I guess if you’re a super affiliate though, you can pretty easily afford to buy yourself these toys anyways. Hydra’s referral program is one of the best in the business at 5%.
I personally tend to rotate my advertising spending among a bunch of different CPA networks, but Hydra is one network I tend to naturally gravitate to. By jumping in on the recently added exclusive offers, it gives me a good chance to get started pumping out some profitable campaigns with very little competition. Hydra pays on a Net-15 basis and they offer both Paypal, wire and ACH payment options. ACH is great because your payments go directly to your bank account and you avoid any fees that Paypal charges. I’ve been with Hydra for several months now and they have always paid me on time and I’ve never had any problems with them. If you’re new to PPC Coach, I would highly recommend making Hydra network one of the first networks you join.
