There are a lot of people with thousands of dollars of information products sitting on their hard drives that they got free. This did not happen because they were super clever hackers or because they do a lot of file sharing. They find these products simply through search.
How can that be? Are the search engines evil? Is there some plot? No. A lot of people put their products right in a folder called downloads. Believe it or not www.yoursite.com/downloads is not difficult to find.
The first thing you need to do is make a folder on your server with a name that you could also use as a password and keep your information products in there.
If you want to take it to a higher level you may want to get DLGuard. It works with many payment and affiliate programs. Once you set it up it is fast and easy to use. You can set is so your customer has 1-2 hours to download and can only try 3 times with the special link he got when he bought.
I hope you give DLGuard a look and start protecting your information products before they are all over some hacker forums for free.
