Selling digital download products is a great and low cost business to have online, but in order to protect you’re investment, you should follow these simple steps to help prevent hackers from stealing you’re merchandise.
Hello fellow online seller. If you are like me, you have had you’re digital products stolen by online thieves at one point, or another. You may not even know that is being done until your product has been rendered almost worthless because it is now all over the internet.
This quick read may save you thousands of dollars that I have already lost to online pirates.
Website Owners Simple Steps
1.Setup an autoresponder service, or purchase an autoresponder script to install (or have installed) on your website. In many cases, your hosting account will have allotted you a certain amount of them that are already included in your hosting package. Check with your host. Emailing you;re download links is much more secure than placing them on a webpage.
2. Create a new download folder in your website root directory, located in level directly below your main domain:
Example: www. yourdomain.com/{root}/{next level down}/{and so on}.
The reason you want it in you’re root directory, is that thieves will often try to access the next level up from you’re download folder to see if they can access other folders on that same level, where as the root direct only has one level up.. you’re domain. There are no folders to open there.
For security purposes, you should name the folder with an obscure name like “AH7BVC’, I know, it seems weird, but trust me, these hackers are there and have programs to search out many possibilities to locate you’re precious products.
3. Before uploading your downloadable products to this new folder, you should also give them a difficult name so that hackers cannot locate them. Change in a file name would go something like this; Original Name “Webmasters Software Product”, rename to something like: “WSP6033D”. This file now becomes virtually unsearchable.
4.Extra protection for you’re downloads come in the way that you disguise your download link. Hackers also search for those. I recommend using a free service like tinyurl.com to give you a more obscure download link. It’s not foolproof, but it is just creates added steps for hackers to gain access to your products.
May all of your digital products go to paying customers.

<p>Crime knows no boundaries. This unfortunate fact makes it possible for any given business owner, home owner, or renter a potential target. Throughout history good prevails over bad; however, safety is not to be taken for granted. It is better to think in advance, taking precautionary measures, rather than feeling the after-affects of a burglary which may or may not be accompanied with a physical assault. Reviews of alarm security systems are available to help individuals make solid decisions when it comes to purchasing and installing security alarms.</p>
<p>The majority of the population recognizes the fact criminal activity is reported heavily by various form of media. Television news, written publications, radio programs, and the Internet all provide true accounts of harm committed against other people. Some of these incidents are random occurrences while others are planned. Being a source of strength means taking extra steps victims tend to ignore.</p>
<p>Finances do come in to the picture when it comes to safety; this is no secret. It is a fact some systems cost more than others forcing people on budgets of all kinds to opt for lower-grade to average protection plans. Having said this, there may be opportunities to upgrade or even purchase the best alarm system available dependent on company policies.</p>
<p>An excellent resource for learning about various companies and the security systems they provide is the Internet. From the comfort of home it is possible to discover a myriad of companies that are in the business of protecting buildings and personal dwellings. Any given search engine on the Internet will result in countless listings for search phrases and keywords referencing alarm systems. Computer users may opt to visit multiple web pages and compare information or do a search for local companies and proceed with the first company listed, no questions asked.</p>
<p>People who prefer to do their own research, make comparisons, and decide for themselves which company is best can benefit from a starting point. AlarmForce maintains a website which clearly states their services as well as prices. This is not a company that requests an email address, name, home address, and phone number prior to giving information. Such data only needs to be provided if a potential customer has a question and wishes to be contacted. AlarmForce is a highly regarded company offering dependable, functional services at affordable prices. Standard home alarm systems are available along with an upgraded package. Senior citizens can also take advantage of something called Alarmcare which makes it possible for many older people to continue living in their homes with the added security of life-saving help at the push of a button.</p>
<p>Certain companies are known more than others due to advertising or simple word-of-mouth as a result of being in business for many years. Brinks, associated with Broadview, is an alarm company that has made use of television advertisements coupled with the man-power of over fifty-thousand employees worldwide. Customers benefit from this company’s twenty-five plus years experience in the field. Brinks is a strong company offering quality services which has earned them name recognition.</p>
<p>ASG Security is another major player in security systems. As with any item or service available in the open market, ASG has received mixed reviews. Some customers are completely satisfied with their performance while others have complaints regarding billing issues and product reliability. Ultimately it is up to the individual to consider all aspects of every service package and company before making a final decision.</p>
<p>Reviews of alarm security systems, in general, will mention the same types of things. Sales representatives, professional conduct, reliability, and cost are commonly mentioned in reviews. Common sense says if the majority of customer reviews side with the positive, the business in question is usually a safe bet. In the end, personal experience is the only sure-fire way of forming an unshakable opinion.</p>
