Does anybody use this?
Viral PDF eBooks - turn your PDF documents into a viral sales force What's the general consensus? Is it the best solution out there or is there something better? Not having to rely on net framework and having to only send 1 file is very attractive to me. Any feedback is appreciated. |

Check out Harvey Segal's ultimate rebrander. Nothing
to download. Idiots can use it because it rebrands the report and gives them a link to send out. They don't have to Host a PDF, do FTP, send PDFs by email. You get the picture. It's a little tricky to install on HG though - runs on PHP4 |

Hey Steven
I recently bought rr to a limited product by a well known honest IMer. He can afford any version but I just checked out Sean's compare you supplied the link to and it is the Classic Edition. The PDF and brander are separate. In the more expensive versions says "One file to distribute (PDF embedded in Rebrander)". I have only used it on the rebranding end of it but I liked it. One thing I noticed with some of the rebranders is after you rebrand a PDF there is a problem. If you approach the branded link from above or below just before the cursor is properly (centered on top of text) on top of the branded link the original link is active. So as you move into the click zone us see the original unbranded link and then moving on top of the link you see the link with your affiliate ID. As some one that may decide to pass out a rebranded product this is a problem. Knowing that if I make the effort to distribute it I still might not get credit for the click. If the the link is clicked in the area where the link is active but just outside of where my rebranded ID is it still goes to the sales page. Even if I would want to use the rebranded product or report there is 99.99% certainty I won't because the junk rebrander is allowing 2 click zones with different outgoing links on the same clickable link. Now I not accusing but this type of rebrander is a good way to purposely bypass a percentage of affiliate commissions and for the product/ebook/report creator to have the possibility of getting sales with out paying the middleman (me). I will also say at least 1 Warrior Member is doing this. He didn't have an appropriate response when I brought this to his attention and nothing was done to correct it (you know who you are). As far as Viral PDF Classic Edition is concerned I can't find anything wrong with it and trust it to properly rebrand. There are different features for all 3 editions Viral PDF and you know what your needs are. I have plans of using a rebrander myself and I will be using one of the versions of Viral PDF myself. |

For the record, Viral PDF works great. The problem is that you need to have detailed instructions since a lot of people do struggle with downloads, may not understand the rebranding process, etc.
Plus, you need to follow certain procedures to create your PDF files and make them rebrandable. It's easy for any seasoned IM'er, but there will always be people who will need a lot of hand holding to get it working. I prefer web based rebranders because it's easier for everyone involved (including you). I tried Harvey Segal's product but it didn't work with my webhost, which I found odd since it uses cpanel and every other software I've installed works great. I ended up having one custom made for one of my websites and am very happy with it. ![]() Solomon Huey |

OK, how exactly do you use this tool? You allow people to change the recommended links in the pdf for a premium? How does this work as a marketing tool?

Create a short report with a link to YOUR product that affiliates can rebrand with their OWN affiliate link. You still make 50% of each sale after the initial sales from you go out. Or, you can give the report away. You're bound to make some back end sales from it. It's a great way for something to go viral. | |

I submitted a ticket, and their response was basically that they will work on fixing it. I explained that I was not happy because I paid good money and was actively promoting their program, only to discover that I was promoting someone else's affiliate link! Who knows how many referrals and commissions I was giving away to someone else. They simply ignored my support requests from that point on, rather than offering any compensation for my trouble. ![]() Solomon Huey | |

Just to clarify this statement
Quote:
I've just PMd Solomon and it turns out that he did not contact our Support as he was 'more just testing out your software (among others) for functionality to see what solution I would end up using for my site'. I'm sure that if we were aware of an installation problem we would have resolved it. The only problems we have encountered so far are 1. An issue with Hostgator access permissions due to a recent change to their system. We have a solution. 2. Ultimate Rebrander does not work with php5. For now a simple change to the htaccess file solves this while we look for a permanent solution Harvey | |

I'd just like to note that my conversation with Harvey did happen, so there's no debate about it. I also applaud him for taking the time to contact me, which says a lot in my book.

I believe that probably a large percentage maybe even the majority of affiliate sales are lost because of the fiddlyness or perceived complexity of the rebranding procedures. That's why a web a based rebrander should give a better return, simplicity is the key.

It Dan here... I am the owner of PDF Power Brand and I have to say I am shocked!
We have a very strict refund policy at PDF Power Brand. Simply put, if you ask for a refund, you get one. I have even refunded people well after the 60 day period PayPal allows. You did not receive a refund Solomon because you did not ask for one. At least I have no record of it that I can track through your name in the support desk. The charge made was to be able to remove the link you are complaining about from PDF Power Brand documents. If you want a refund, please PM me your PayPal receipt and I will send you the money you paid. PDF Power Brand has just undergone a huge update and all the issues have been fixed. I'd be grateful if anyone reading this post would try my free software and website before making their mind up after reading one negative comment in this post. We aim to bring together merchants and affiliate marketers and offer a potentially fantastic free resource to anyone wanting to promote practically anything online. I've worked very hard on this, it's a shame you feel I let you down Solomon, let's work it out? Respectfully Dan Blackburn |

Hi Dan,
Thanks a lot of your reply. I'm not saying you or your company is bad, but I still to this day feel very cheated and having support brush me off multiple times didn't help the situation. Especially when I was new to Internet Marketing and money was a resource I didn't have much of. But I do understand that things happen and am more than willing to give people a second chance. I'll gladly take you up on that offer and report back directly to this thread so others can know the outcome. I just found my receipt so I'll PM you ![]() Solomon |

Hi Solomon,
I have sent you a refund. I have to say though, I still cannot find record of you asking for one. You were told that we were aware of and working on the problem and it was fixed. I can tell you that you did not lose a single referral. I can be sure of this because the affiliate ID that was incorrectly inserted into your document did not make a any referrals. Hope that makes you feel better. Dan |

Hi Dan,
Thank you very much for the refund, especially considering the amount time that has passed. My main issue was giving my customers a rebrander with someone else's affiliate link and having no idea how long it was doing that. You're right I don't believe I asked for a refund (It's been awhile!), but that wasn't the issue. I'd rather have used the software I paid for. Without a timetable for fixing the bug and no notification of when the issue was fixed, I didn't come out feeling good. But again this is a non-issue now, I appreciate you going out of your way to repair the situation. ![]() Solomon Huey |

PDF Power Brand (my site) Is FREE, but not only that, we help you promote your e-book too.
After you made your brandable e-book with PDF Power Brand, you can add it to the "E-book Vault" and make it available to all 10,000+ members we have registered at the site. (at no cost). You also get a FULL PAGE dedicated to promoting your e-book and affiliate program on our site. The e-book vault is a brand new aspect of PDF Power Brand, currently in beta and only available through the members area. When we have the first 100 campaigns added, the area will be available publicly and linked directly from every affiliate's link. This means that your "product page" will be indirectly promoted by everyone promoting PDF Power Brand, and you will have your own page on our site promoting your affiliate program and brandable report. There is no charge for this... none of it. The PDF's that you create contain a link back to PDF Power Brand if you use this free version. This link can be removed by paying $14.97 Can it really get any better than this? I have made complete camtaisa screen capture videos to show you how to create your own viral marking campaigns with PDF Power Brand, I give you the free software and allow you to use my site to promote your product, for free!

I am trying to re-brand an ebook using Viral PDF Rebrander.
The supposedly 'signed' ebook is provided by the book's author and I'm being told to just 'drag 'n drop' OR open the book into the rebrander. After countless attempts, it is still giving me an error saying that the ebook is not signed. The author says it is. Their 'support' is very slow and I'm getting very impatient waiting for a solution. Any one have ideas? Thanks heaps. |

I used it for my first rebrandable report. I like it.
The full silver version IS too expensive. Sure, maybe you don't need to give it away for free, but $197? Come on. $47 is plenty decent, and even then... |
