New vendor at clickbank - need some help

I am launching a new product. From what I can see clickbank sends the person to my thank you page after the payment is processed. At that page I need to provide download link to the product.

How do you prevent this page from showing in google index (obviously robots.txt is one solution, but than anyone calling robots.txt will see the address of the thank you page).

What is the best solution for this? How do others do it?

thanks

 

There are scripts that keep the products protected, or you can just use a nofollow-noindex meta tag and randomly change the download page url when you feel it may be compromised.

If you only have 1 thankyou page, changing the page name every now and then isn't too hard, but I would definitely add the noindex rule to your meta tags.

 

Add the following code on the thank you page:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

 

cool idea, thanks

 

Yeh, as above mentioned by ripper we do this too and have no problems:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

Good luck

 

*Don't name your page with easy to find names

BAD = your.com/thankyou/thankyou.html

GOOD = your.com/78xfk84js0/48smf9ghj.html and have no follow (and no meta - no title - no keywords - no description)

*Get scripts like dlguard(.com) so members have to login to get their content after purchase, anyone else who stumbles on the page or gets a shared link will be redirected to a dlguard login (and won't be able to login with shared passwords as dlguard/others have per computer id protection). Also if they refund, it blocks access to their login and automates the process for you.

*Distribute your product manually after email verification (wack)

*Consider your losses a lil' buzz campaign and awareness campaign. You're losing sales but not really losing money because it's bandwidth not tangible goods. The few people that might get a copy or find your ty page or look for your product by asking for it on blackhat forums etc. just prove that your product is desirable.

Just do option 1 above and you should be fine as a new vendor.

thanks! reps given!

I am launching a product in medical niche (how to help yourself with a very common problem millions have). Thing is there is no such product on clickbank yet!!

I want to price it $24.95 and offer 70% to affiliates. What do you think about that? Should I put the price higher or affiliate % lower? I want most amount of sales and exposure of course.

Also my ebook will have about 20 pages. What do you think? Is that enough? Content is great, but I don't want people to feel cheated because ebook is short.

 

Here are New ZML Invitation Code ASvYVtmY JTHpRkJr yHvnpEut

 

cmcrajesh - none of the codes are accepted.

I don't get why zml is so picky about getting affiliates.....

 

@NCMedia, what about if the username/password is leaked and shared?

 

How about e-junkie? It's just $5 a month & sends money direct to paypal. Does anyone use it for Clickbank too? I don't like the way it redirects to paypal, it should offer a way to accept credit card on the first page itself.
btw, it does offer download links that are valid for 120 hours or 5 downloads, whichever happens first.
