Might have been done already, but I have some questions about both security and strange events taking place with CB lately. Some questions I pose to other product owners using CB, and high rolling PPC/hoppers. 1. Say you notice in your stats, that someone is zsharing or spreading your thank you page, or direct link to your .zip/sit/other digital product you sell. can you freely and daily change up your thank you page location, update it within CB, then rename and relink your products? And is this something that can be automated? Having a members only area fixes half the problem, but not the other. 2. With relevance to another post about the CB activity or very strange long delays/gaps in sales-as a product owner AND affiliate, does this infact happen often where 3-5 days you have 10% sales of its usual volume? If so what are the causes (assuming nothing technical on the vendors end, all hosting and pages, affiliate volume etc. is stable). While customer behavior with large volumes and different sources is hard to both predict and/or read, I'm sure some of you have experienced your own unwarranted gaps? 3. Anyone caught CB redhanded before trying to buy their own product or affiliate product? Or even breaking their 'hops' facts? What/how was it resolved? 4. On average, conversions for good products range from 1-5% or higher in some cases, if you have say 50 affiliates promoting for you and they are all suddenly fluctuating with untraditional lines of performance, can it in fact be something technical with CB? 5. I'm not looking for negative reviews, in fact I'd love nothing more than to hear positive stories so rather than rant, those that are deep into the thousands of hops to date please share your chronicle/mystery. I'm sure other vendors and affiliates have some odd experiences, feel free to answer my Q's above as well. One eyebrow raised, NC.
ClickBank will pass to your thank you page query parameters that you can use to prevent people from blindly going to it. https://www.clickbank.com/publisher_tools.html#Publisher_Tools_14 decode the parameters, and put restrictions around them to prevent extra downloads from unauthorized folks. If they fall outsite your parameters, don't stream the download to them. A little PHP can put the file in a directory outsite of the site root path so that there is no direct access.
