Protect Your Download Links

Why do you need to protect your download link?

Lets face the facts. Some people have no scruples and will have no compunction stealing your hard work. And if you make it easy to steal you are tempting even those who do not intend to but stumble upon the opportunity and take advantage. The bottom line is you may be losing big bucks by leaving your links exposed.

Here is how it works:
When your client purchased your downloadable product (eBook, software, audio etc.) you sent a download link to your product.

Your link may look something like this:
www.CloakDownloadLink.com/downloads/Domain_Registration.htm  

STOP! By doing it this way you have revealed to the client where you store your products.
Click on this link and see what happens when your client enters into his browse the address:
  
www.CloakDownloadLink.com/downloads/    and this is what you see:

===================================================================

Index of /downloads

• Parent Directory
• Domain_Registration.htm
• PayPal_Merchant_Account.htm
• Power_Link_Generator.htm
• Virtual_Real_Estate.htm
• Web_Design_Toolbox.htm
• php.ini

===================================================================

Whammo, all your products appear on the screen. Unprotected and begging to be downloaded. It is so easy people don’t even consider it stealing. And you stand to lose substantial income to pilferers.
But don’t blame anyone but yourself. You have just left the front door to your store open with no attendant in sight.
