There is a huge buzz lately. Informational products are being stolen by people using software. One fellow had a software try over 3,000 times to crack his thank you page. Fortunately, he had already known not to use the word thank you in his url.
This software starts plugging in words such as thankyou, thanks, downloads, dwnlds, tks, tyou and many, more. So use numbers and letters and dashes, with a mixture of upper and lower case letters.
When making your thank you pages, don't use the words thank you. Use numbers and letters such as 04K9-1.html or inaPpreciation439.html Put your thank you page inside a directory, and many call it something like 42L-7-3 - That should clench it.
On your thank you page in your meta tags, you need to make sure the search engines are not following your thank you page.
So, in your metatags where your description and content is, put the following meta tag headers in:
Replace the ( for the angle brackets
(META NAME='ROBOTS' CONTENT='NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW') (META NAME='keywords' CONTENT='none') (META NAME='description' CONTENT='No Description')
The internet is growing at horrendous leaps and bounds. There are vast money making opportunties and many of them use a third party credit card acceptance company, such as clickbank, 2checkout and one very popular one now is paypal.com All of these companies are excellent companies.
However, they all require a download page used on the seller's website, leaving them more vulnerable to onslaughts.
With digital products all being the rage, more people are setting up shop. However, if they don't put a STOP to the thieving, then home marketers are spending a lot of time, money and effort to get their site seen, then some thief walks in and takes in what is not theirs. It's unfair.
It is your responsibility and my responsibility to protect our sites and get it known that it can be stopped and that it will not be tolerated any longer.
If you are using paypal for your auto downloads you are in double trouble. Paypal is a great company however, anyone reading your html code can get to your download page in a blink of an eye. And, people don't even care if they put a fake name and a fake hotmail account if you have a register on that download page. They just take from you.
There is a product at www.redirectpro.com that stops that nonsense. Just remember to use the above information on your thank you pages. For a ten dollar rebate, after purchasing, just send an email saying "I read your article."
Internet opportunity is vast and many people are making a bundle of money to part time cash. Some of you are new and just getting started, just remember hang in there... as there is always room at the top. Keep your chin up and keep up with what is happening on the net. Tell your readers to get busy and protect themselves, and of course, get busy to protect yourself.
