Newbie Question about Thank You page/clickbank

8 replies
Hi All,
First of all please excuse me if I've posted in the wrong place.

I've got an eshop set up where I am selling an ebook. I also want to sell this ebook through clickbank.

I'm in the process of creating my "Thank You" page, but most of the instructions I see say to insert the link where the ebook can be downloaded.

I don't have an FTP, I've uploaded the book directly to the eshop through the control panel.

My site also requires registration, so not sure exactly how I set this up, because as it stands now the customer is emailed a link after they register and pay through Pay Pal.

I feel like I'm making something that should be simple really complicated - any words of wisdom?

    Simple.

    Here is what you need to do.

    If you have uploaded the ebook on the main page. Then the download for the ebook will be:

    Code:
    http://www.yourdomain.com/ebook.zip
    Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.
    Replace ebook.zip to whatever name or extension you are using.

    If you upload in a folder then simply add the folder name before the ebook.

    Hope this helps!

    Make sure you secure your thank you page because there are people out there that know how clickbank works and send there friends thank you pages and basically jack your material for free. Also make sure you dont let google catalog your thank you page!

      I do this by putting the this code in header part on the thank you page:
      <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

      for example:

      <html>
      <head>
      <title>...</title>
      <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
      </head>

      there is also a way by editing your robot.txt file for your site but I don't do that anymore since people can access that and see what page you are hiding from the public.

    Clickbank requires a static web page for download, don't think you'll be able to do that if your using shopping cart software.

    The download page in Clickbank doensn't need to be static, it's URL just needs to be.

    So if you use a product like DLGuard - DLGuard - Download page protector, create expiring download links - (which is fully supported by Clickbank), it'll pass all of Clickbank's terms quite easily.

    This will also stop your download links from being found in search engines, as the downlaod links are unique to each of your customers, and will expire after the amount of time you set.

    It's much safer than using meta tags, as people can still link to your page even if it uses "noindex" meta tags, and some search engines ignore those tags anyway.

    It'll also make it MUCH easier to set up your first Clickbank product.

    Let me know if you'd like any clarification on this, I'm happy to help!

    cheers

    As sam as stated, there is software you can get that will secure your downloads for you, I know how you feel as well, i just went though getting approval from clickbank for a product as well, and it can be a little painfull in the end.

    Personally i use amember, but that is alittle expensive to just protect a download =)

    I recently purchased DLGuard although I haven't had a chance to have a look at it yet, so I'm hoping it isn't too hard to set up. I would advise if you are selling a good product through Clickbank to use something like DLGuard to protect your download page.
