Protecting Your Digital Downloads With A Twist :)

404 Error Pages
So, let me first explain how this works. If a visitor types
in the wrong address either on purpose or by accident and error page
will appear. What I like to do is create a custom error page that
will send them to my sales page.
Heres what you need to do,
First create a custom error page for this example I created a new
page called sales.htm
Second open up notepad.exe (by clicking on start, then accessories,
then notepad) Now simply enter the following text:
ErrorDocument 404 /sales.htm
replace sales.htm with the name of your special page.
Third go to the top of notepad, click on file, click save as….
and call this .htaccess select where you want to save it to, change
the .txt extension to all files, by clicking the dropdown arrow now
click enter.
Last step, simply upload both the .htaccess file and your new page
to your root directory of your Webhost.
The last thing I do to protect my files is by using SmartDD to handle the delivery…
You may ask, how will that help me?
Well not only does an automatic delivery service watch for the correct payment, then automatically send preconfigured emails that contains download links and instructions, but they also, install a counter so that the link is only valid for x number of times AND it allows you to install the files outside of your HTML directory. In other words the files cannot be accessed with a web browser.
When I decided to use one I priced several different companies Such as My Digital Dispatch and Payloadz Even though I joined each of them as an affiliate I am not going to include their links here.
Why, because as i promised you from day one….I do not use either of them, so I will not try to convince you to use them if I don’t myself.
I use SmartDD still to this day, and absolutely love it.
Their full version is a fraction of the cost of the other two I
mentioned above and the affiliate commission is not even half.
What does that mean? That means that I could have made a lot more commission money if I tried to get you to subscribe to one of the other programs. I don’t care about that, I would rather be upfront and honest with you.
To check out SmartDD yourself get it here for just a few bucks:
By the way, I promised you a twist…instead of just creating a copy of your sales page…what I did with my http://ebookscase.com Website was create a Clickbank Portal Page, read carefully.. because this is also absolutely FREE!
just go to http://cbglobe.com/x.cgi?id=webpagesrus and create your free ClickBank Portal Page, now with only one ClickBank Id you can promote 100’s of products on one page.
Guess which page? thats right, your 404 error page. After you set up your page, simply save the url and replace the sales.htm link that we just put in the .htaccess file with your new ClickBank Portal Url.
Go to My http://ebookscase.com Website and see it in action, and I would bet you will quickly set up your own.
Heres how to test it and check it out on my site… Go To http://ebookscase.com/busssinessss.htm (that page doesn’t exist, so you will be redirected to my Click Bank portal Page. Once there if you purchase anything there, I make a ClickBank commission.
Can you see how powerful that could be?
Once again the link to get your own free ClickBank Portal page is http://cbglobe.com/x.cgi?id=webpagesrus
