Sounds like a unprotected download page/area. Once it gets around where your files are they tend to spread over the web quickly. If this is your problem change the filenames and folder locations asap. Also work to protect your downloads through for example e-junkie. Cheap and secure file delivery. If you do wso´s you can use WSO pro

You may want to make your download page a bit more inconspicuous.
Calling it /download.html is easy for people to find. Change that to some random name and number combo. eg.9u837r64_bvrx.html.
You may also want to add a "no follow" to the page so it doesn't show up in search results for your site.
The way it is now it shows up on the 2nd page of results in google when you search, site:yoururl.com

Need more info about your process before I can troubleshoot.

Can you send me a PM in private about how you got it all set up? Putting that info on a forum can be dangerous for you, so I need to do this semi confidentially if you don't mind.

Also, do a search on Google for the filename of the pdf or the title of the report and the words "pdf", "download", "rapidshare", "megaupload", or similar. Pirates might be spreading around your report.

Raydal's answer is right, but keep in mind that this will stop obedient robots. Some people will look for this in the source code to find out just what you don't want followed, in case it is what they are looking for.

I am missing something here. If you have the no follow no index on a certain page of your site, how would someone find that in the "view source code" of your other pages? They couldn't view the source code of the page in question as how would they know it exists?

  Go to rent-a-coder and hire someone to write a clickbank protector for your page. Here is there guts of the routine. Pretty simple.
  This is PHP.
  function cbValid()
  { $key='YOUR SECRET KEY';
  $rcpt=$_REQUEST['cbreceipt'];
  $time=$_REQUEST['time'];
  $item=$_REQUEST['item'];
  $cbpop=$_REQUEST['cbpop'];
  
  $xxpop=sha1("$key|$rcpt|$time|$item");
  $xxpop=strtoupper(substr($xxpop,0,8));
  
  if ($cbpop==$xxpop) return 1;
  else return 0;
  }
  
  You would want to check the time as well to see if it is old. I'm surprised they don't tell you to do this on their help page.
  
  You get your secret key from clickbank. There is probably another like this for paypal. I'll hunt around and see if I can find one.

  Paypal has a more involved procedure, but should not be a big deal for a programmer to hook you up.

  Let me know if you want to be a beta-tester for when I hook this up on vertuso. Should not be long now. I have a few irons in the fire, one is an autoblogger and that will take a few more weeks. After that, I will code this up.

You are right too. If it is just on the hidden page that should be a good idea.

What I was thinking of is having a robots.txt file in the public folder. (Brain slipped a gear.) This is common and required on one of my sites. And then of course it is easy to find, just domain.com/robots.txt

Annette,

Quick fix is just to take your source TheMissingLinkInNetworkMarketing.html code and encrypt it here:-

HTML Encrypter

Then upload the file back to your site. Now whenever anyone looks at your source code, it's all hidden.

Maybe not the best fix, but quick and works.

It's been said multiple times but seems no one is acknowledging those comments, so I'll say it again...

If you view the source of the page, you can find the URL to the download page. Literally took me about 3 seconds to find it.

Some of the other methods explained could also definitely be used to find it.

Thanks warriors,

I am trying very hard to rectify the same... but of course, these things are not as easy as they seem for some of us.

I guess right now the report is not available. Have changed the buttons/url and I am trying to see how to do everything. My computer crashed the other day, so I am trying to install prog including komposer on my new machine. Hope I will be able to fix the same. If not, I might outsource this... But I would really want to get a grip on these things since I want to be writing more reports for sale

You can just edit the files on the server without having to have a web builder program.

  Hello Tush,
  
  Although you've created a new Paypal button, you need to use the code it produces to replace the existing code on your page.
  
  At the moment if you look at the source code for your page, the "alt tag" that is included in the Paypal button is still showing your download thank you page.
  
  Hope this helps.

I see that everyone is telling you to change the download link, but that really isn't the whole problem... Your download link is visible within your source code or paypal buy button.

You need to fix it using the paypal encryption code when you make your "buy" buttons. That's really the only way to hid it.

If you want, shoot me a PM and we can use my paypal button creating software to fix this problem...

Thanks

That has happened to me in the past!! Luckily I caught them straight away by keeping a close eye on my stats (my friend calls me a stat queen) I had statcounter code installed on my download page (it's free) and most of the time it tells you where the visitor came from. It told me the forum where someone had posted my download page so I got it removed and changed my download page link.

Doing whats been said above from other warriors and installing tracking can help so you can see where your visitors are coming from.

Hope this helps.

Hi Tush,
Your paypal button is the first thing you should work on. Your button image alt tag should have text like "PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!
