Dear Friend,
If you're selling downloadable
products such as ebooks and software, you probably already
know about the risk of your products being stolen from your
own download pages.
It has been estimated that
over half of all ebooks and software in use
are stolen copies, with a large proportion of these being
stolen directly from the download page.
This of course means lost
sales and income as potential customers simply grab a copy
of your product for FREE instead of paying you for
it.
This is both very costly
and very annoying.
There's a lot
of misinformation on the Internet about how hackers and
thieves actually gain access to download
pages.
The reality is that unless you
give your download page a name which is easy to guess, like
"thanks.html", it's actually quite hard for people to find
it.
If you give your download page a
random name with letters and digits in, such as
"ty_35369712.html", even sophisticated hacking software
is unlikely to find it.
There is however still
a serious risk to
download pages, which arises from people buying your product
then posting the download link on forums or Warez
(illegal download) sites.
This allows others to
directly access your links from the forum or
Warez site.
Even worse, search engines often
pick up links up from these sites and then make them
accessible to anyone doing a search.
The only really effective
solution to this problem is to make your links "expire". This
means that a download link is usable for just a limited period
of time (specified by you), rendering the link useless
to forum and search engine traffic after this
period.
There are software solutions that
do this, but they generally require you to install an
expensive, complex script and use special download
pages generated by the script.
This requires technical knowledge
to setup and use the script. It also seriously
limits your ability to make your download pages look like
part of your own site and reduces your opportunities to
"upsell" other products on your download
pages.
Now however there is an alternative solution to
this problem, which avoids all these hassles and
restrictions.
With your copy of our brand new
Download Warrior software, you can now add
secure protection to any existing download page, with
just a few mouse clicks...
Quick And Easy Protection Setup In
Seconds
Download Warrior is an easy to use
Windows tool, which takes your existing HTML (or PHP) download
pages and automatically inserts some special "PHP" code into
the top.
Don't
worry if you don't know what PHP is. Almost all paid-for web
hosts now support PHP. Your modified download pages can be
uploaded to your web host in exactly the same way as
you would upload any normal HTML file.
If you
look at the screenshot below, you'll see just how easy
Download Warrior is to
use...
All
you need to do is select your download page HTML file, enter
how many hours the download links should remain valid before
they expire, then click the Create button.
The
software will automatically generate complete new
protected download page files, ready for
use.
Simply
upload the new files in place of your original download page
file, update the download page web address on your
payment service to point to the new protected page
and you're finished.
Adding
totally secure protection just doesn't get any
easier.
Stop Your Links Being Passed Around The
Internet
Once
you've used Download Warrior to protect your pages, your
customers will see special download links in their web browser
address bar.
Customers will not notice anything unusual. Your
complete download page will appear to them exactly as it would
have done without protection, but the link address shown in
the browser address bar will be different for each
customer.
If the
customer copies the link out of their browser address bar
however (or adds it to their favorites), after the specified
time has elapsed, the link will simply stop
working.
You can
specify any time period you want, from 0 hours (link valid for
immediate access only) up to 1, 2 ... 24, 48, 72 hours or
more.
Once
the link has expired, anyone using the link will see a
blank page with just the text "Your Link Has Expired
- Please Contact Us In Case Of
Problems".
Any
links emailed to friends, posted to forums or found by search
engines will hence be rendered completely useless,
protecting your products from illegal
download.
Easily Email Secure Links To Your
Customers
Although customers normally go directly from
your payment service to your download page, inevitably there
will be occasions when you need to send a link by
email.
While
for standard download links, a timeout of one hour offers
highly secure protection, links sent in emails generally need
longer timeouts.
For
this reason, Download Warrior can build a special "email link
page" for each download page (in addition to your normal
page).
You can
set a different (generally longer) expiry time for these
"email links" (such as 24 or 48 hours), while keeping the
expiry time for your normal links to a
minimum.
This
allows you full flexibility for handling customer downloads,
while ensuring you have maximum
protection for your download
pages.
Hidden Zip File Links For Increased
Security
Most
people who post your download links to forums or email
them to friends simply use the download page link
that they got from you.
However
some more intelligent users may view the source code
of your download page and extract the actual direct
links to your product zip, pdf or
exe files.
With conventional solutions, this would bypass your
protection, allowing others to directly download your
product files without going through your download page.
Download Warrior protects against this
by hiding the links to your zip,
pdf or exe files.
Anyone viewing the source of your protected download page
will see useless links, which expire at the same time
as the download page link itself.
This simple, but effective strategy
is automatically built into your protected download
pages, increasing
the security of your products.
Secure Protection For All Payment
Services
Download Warrior works with all
payment services, including 2Checkout, Clickbank,
Paypal, Stormpay and any other
service.
It also offers special secure protection options
for 2CheckOut and Clickbank (unlike Paypal and Stormpay,
these
services do not offer secure encrypted button
technology).
To
use the special 2CheckOut feature,
you simply enter a "secret word" into Download
Warrior and it will automatically generate a special
secure page for use with 2CheckOut.
You
also enter the same "secret word" into your 2CheckOut
account. Your special 2CheckOut page can then only be
accessed by genuine customers.
This
easy to use solution completely blocks all forms
of unauthorized access, including a technique commonly
used to steal downloadable products sold through
2CheckOut.
The
special feature for Clickbank operates
in a similar way, also using a "secret word" entered
into your Clickbank account, again offering
enhanced security for your products.
With Download Warrior, you can use any
payment service, or any combination of different payment
services. You can also use it with your own Merchant
Account, personal check payments, auction payments or anything
else.
No
matter how you accept payment for your products, Download
Warrior offers a quick and easy way of protecting your
links from illegal access and
distribution.
Fully Compatible With All Affiliate
Scripts
Most
affiliate scripts require the inclusion of special code into a
download page, or use some sort of technique to actually pass
the link to the download page through the
affiliate script. This process is needed so that the
affiliate script can record the sale.
Some link protection solutions do not
interact well with affiliate scripts.
This of
course can be a problem if you are operating an affiliate
program for your products.
Download Warrior is fully compatible with all
affiliate scripts, providing a secure expiring download link facility, without
affecting your affiliate sales
Special Bonus 1 - Affiliate Commission
Booster
Thieves
and hackers don't just target your download pages.
They'll target anything that can
make them money - or lose you money.
That's
why your copy of Download Warrior comes complete with a
selection of powerful security related tools to help
secure your online business.
One of the major sources of loss often targeted
is your affiliate links.
Instead of simply
clicking on your affiliate links, thieves and hackers
will often copy the link into the Address field at the top
of
their browser and modify the link before using it.
This modification comes in two forms - chopped
links and stolen commissions
To illustrate
this, take a look at this typical affiliate
link:
http://www.salessite.com/affiliates.php?r=1234
This
link is for a web site "www.salessite.com" and an affiliate
ID of 1234.
The Chopped
Link
For no good reason,
other than simply to stop you getting commission, a
surprisingly large number of people will chop off the
affiliate part of this link before using it, leaving just
http://www.salessite.com.
The Stolen
Commission
Some people
will sign up to the affiliate program themselves, then change
the 1234 to their own affiliate ID before buying the product.
The result is that YOUR commission gets paid into THEIR
account. This is common for products sold with high levels
of commission, such as most ebooks and software.
In
both these cases, you lose a commission that should rightfully
be yours.
Our bonus Commission Booster software offers
you a quick and easy solution to this problem, by
automatically hiding your affiliate links inside special
web
pages called "redirect" or "cloaking" pages.
Simply
enter your affiliate link into the software and click a button
and Commission Booster will automatically build a special link
protection page and even upload it to your website, ready for
use.
This solution has been proven to
substantially increase commissions for the majority marketers.
Software with almost identical features is being sold
on its own elsewhere on the Internet for $59.
Now you
can get these same powerful income boosting benefits at
no extra cost, with your copy of Download
Warrior.
Special
Bonus 2 - Spambot Guardian
As well as the risks from theft and hacking,
your website is also at risk from Spammers.
Most webmasters include their
email address on their own web site, so that visitors
can easily contact them.
This is usually done using "maillto" links, which allow visitors to simply click on a link to
send an email.
Unfortunately spammers are also on the
look out for these email addresses, as targets for
spam.
Spammers use special web robots called
Spambots which search continually through millions of
web pages, looking for email links.
When a Spambot
finds an email link, the email address is added to a database,
to be used for spamming by the owner and to be sold to other
spammers.
Spambot Guardian is a simple Windows
tool which can instantly protect your entire web site from
Spambots.
It will scan a single web page
- or even your entire site at once - and automatically
encrypt any mailto links, leaving them unreadable by Spambots but
still fully usable by your visitors.
A few seconds
spent using this simple but powerful tool can save you
a lot of hassle dealing with spam in the future.
Special
Bonus 3 - The PC Protection Kit
In
addition to security risks associated
with your website, there are many serious risks that
can affect your PC.
Most
people have heard about Viruses, Worms
and Trojans, but there's still an awful lot of people who do
not have proper up-to-date protection from them.
As
a webmaster offering downloadable products, you are particularly vulnerable to
the damage that can be caused by these dangerous
components.
Consider
the effect of a virus on your PC. Not only will it affect you personally, potentially
losing valuable products and business data, but it
could also spread to your customers through your
downloadable products.
Fortunately help is readily at hand in the form
of a many off-the-shelf tools.
The
PC Protection Kit offers a short, easy to read overview
of the various risks to your PC and
provides download links for a selection of fully
functional tools to protect you against all these
risks.
Tools include fully functional, self-updating
anti-virus software, software to automatically block Worms and
hacking attacks and software to combat Trojans, Dialers and
other dangerous components.
With
the ever-increasing spread of these dangers, your copy
of the PC Protection Kit could save you a
lot of time, money and hassle.
