If you sell ebooks or software, you will almost
certainly know about the problem of product theft.
Lots of people will try to gain access to your product
download (or thank you) pages without paying, in order
to steal your ebooks or software.
People usually do this by trying to guess the name
of your download page.
You probably already reduce this risk by giving your
download page a name that is hard to guess.
However tests based on analysis of server logs have
shown that some people will spend up to an hour
trying to guess their way into a download page.
Some now even use special hacking software,
left to run overnight automatically trying millions of
permutations to guess the name of your download page.
The fact is that simply giving your download page an
unusual name is no longer an effective way of
stopping those determined to steal your products.
Download Page Protector quickly and easily protects
you from this problem, by automatically adding a
special script into your download page.
The special script requires a security code to be
included in the link for the download page.
If the code is not included in the link address, the
script will automatically redirect the visitor to your
home page preventing downloading of your products.
This makes it much harder for someone to guess their
way into your download page.
Automatic Search Engine Protection
A second threat to your products arises if your
download page gets listed on a search engine.
There are many ways that this can happen, including
dishonest customers posting the link to a forum.
Of course, if the link to your download page gets onto
a search engine, its easily available to everyone.
Your product is free to anyone who searches for it!
Download Page Protector provides very simple
protection from this problem by automatically
inserting a special "robots meta-tag" in your
download page.
Most of the leading search engines will not list
pages containing this special tag, preventing this
search engine problem from ever occurring.
Unfortunately there are still a lot of search engines
which ignore this special tag.
Download Page Protector therefore offers a
secondary search engine protection mechanism.
Anyone coming to your download page directly from a
search engine link will be automatically
redirected to your home page, preventing them
downloading your products.
Although it is preferable to avoid your pages getting
onto search engines, this secondary mechanism offers
valuable protection if it does happen.
A
Highly Versatile Protection System
Download Page Protector has been fully tested on the
two primary payment services for ebook and software
sales, Clickbank and Paypal.
However unlike most other solutions, Download Page
Protector is not restricted to these services and
should work with any payment service.
Your Quick And Easy Solution
To show you just how easy Download Page Protector is
to use, full instructions are included below.
Please look at the screenshot above and follow these
simple steps:
1. Click the Select File button and select the
download page HTML file.
2. Enable the Prevent access from search engines
checkbox to install the secondary search engine
security mechanism. (Normally you would enable this).
3. Enter your web site name (such as www.mysite.com).
You only need to enter this once as it is
automatically stored for use next time you use the
software.
If someone tries to access your download page without
the correct security code, their browser will be
automatically redirected to this address.
4. Enter a security code - any number will do -
preferably between 6 and 15 digits long.
5. Click the Update button.
That's all there is to it!
Your download page file will be automatically updated
and saved in the same folder and with the same name as
the original HTML file, but with extension ".php".
You should upload this new php page to your website in
the same way as you would upload any other web page,
using your web site console or FTP program.
When you set up the link for the download page
(through your payment service), you must change the
extension to ".php" and add to the end of the link:
"?sc=" followed by your chosen security code.
For example if your security code is 12345678 and your
link was
http://www.mysite.com/thanks.html
The new link will be
http://www.mysite.com/thanks.php?sc=12345678
Anyone attempting to gain access to "thanks.php"
without including the security code in the link will
be automatically redirected to your home page,
preventing them from downloading your products.
