I have been look at selling some of my own Eproducts online. They appear in a form such as Ebooks, Codes of Software, or just some pieces of information that that are willing to pay for. Therefore, I started to think about some solutions of selling online. These products can be put on Ebay, Clickbank, and some other sites that offers affiliate sales.
Problem
Recently I have been trying to market a new product, put them online, and sell them through Clickbank. I found it very insecure to sell E-Products online, with a sales page in general. Why are they insecure ?
1. You setup a sales page, with a thank you page / download page.
2. You put your E-product online, somewhere in a directory.
3. You use whatever method you could (Joomla Plugin / Clickbank), to automate the payment process
4. Buyer gets redirected to a download page / logged in to download your E-Product.
5. In actual fact, your E-product is sitting somewhere for everyone to download.
How it is done
No matter how random or wierd you rename your E-Product, it is still susceptible to web app scanning. This can be done with free or commercial web app vulnerabilities scanners. In short, a scan of your domain, will reveal all files within your subdirectories.
There are ways to do this, but I don’t think IM guys are aware of this. Having said that, all Clickbank publishers actually have their E-products exposed, because upon payment, you are redirected to a download page. In fact, if you “guessed” the thankyou.html page beforehand, you can easily gain access to the E-product. Once again I am using a web app scanning tool instead of “guessing”, which might be against the laws (or whatever reasons when legal issues are concerned)
I am still in the midst of testing a solution to solve this problem, so as to protect valuable assets. If you have a solution for this, cialis buy on line I would love to have you share with me and the rest of the internet marketers.
