Write Your Own Review By Clicking Here! Product: Website: Brief Description: Review:
Not everyone who is using your product right now paid for it. Some of those people simply stole it and there's not a darned thing you can do about it. Maybe you are in denial and think that no one's ever stolen from you. Sorry, but I hate to burst your bubble, but almost as soon as you create your product or there are thieves out there hunting you down. And, 99 times out of every 100, they will find you. The method that most internet marketers use to deliver their products to customers is open to abuse. Take this standard scenario as an illustration. You create your product and put up a web page to sell it, or perhaps you bought a resale rights or private label rights product and put up the sales pages that came with the product. In either case, in this situation, once someone makes a purchase, they are re-directed to a download page on your site to access to the products that they just bought. That page has a web address or url at the top, right? What is to stop that purchaser passing on that address to their best friend? Heck, maybe they don't even see it as doing anything wrong, but effectively, as soon as they pass on that download link address, they are enabling their friend to steal your product. That's wrong in anyone's book, right? But, let's just say that this kind of thing is relatively innocent. They were only doing a friend a favor, and that's what friends are supposed to do, so maybe no harm was meant. If so, how about this? I can tell you for a fact that there are a good number of jerks out there on the internet right now. Maybe that won't come as a complete surprise. Jerks exist for one reason and one reason only, to cause trouble for other people. Say that one of them buys and downloads your product. There are two things that will happen next (and I say this from bitter experience). Firstly, our friend will download your product. Then, if he is a really patient jerk, he might wait for 24 hours before asking for a refund. And, if you are selling through Clickbank he will get that refund immediately, no questions asked. You think that the story ends there, that the whole sad affair is now safely put to bed? No chance! That will almost certainly not be good enough for our friend Mr. Jerk. No matter how much you try to help and co-operate with him (it is always him, by the way) you will never be able to satisfy him, or keep him happy. Jerks like this guy don't do happy - complaining and moaning are what they specialize in. So, any guesses what might happen next? Simple! As a way of showing how displeased he is with you, and to demonstrate to the world at large just what a smart cookie he is, he'll post your download link on some spammy forum that he's a member of. Presto, now Mr. Jerk and all his equally jerky friends have your product, and all without paying a penny! And the chances are very high that you will never really know just how many pirated copies of your product there are out there in the market right now. Sure, you can run a basic tracking operation by keeping an eye on the statistics within the control panel of your website, but the information that you get there is not really going to be of much use to you. For example, even if you can find the IP address of someone who appears to have downloaded your product without authorization or making a payment, what are you going to do about it? Don't think that it happens? Trust me, people get ripped off like this every single day. In fact, I wish that I had listened to my own advice the very first time that it happened to me, but - idiot that I am - I thought that lightning never strikes twice, and waited until the second time, before finally deciding to invest in DL Guard myself! Even the search engines don't always help you, as it is not unheard of for the spider robots that Google sends to your site, for example, to find and then index your download pages. Google has, in effect, just given your download link to anyone who happens to punch in the correct term or phrase into the search engine. The bottom line is that stealing your digital product is remarkably easy, and far more common than you would be comfortable knowing about. DLGuard's principle function is to stop such product theft dead in its tracks. Whether you are just selling single products from a download page, or running a monthly membership site that offers product downloads on a regular basis, DLGuard can be set up so that all of your downloads are protected. Maybe you have recently visited a site that gave you 24 or 48 hours to download the product, after which, the link is set to expire? If so, then the chances are that you have witnessed DLGuard in action. But the real beauty of DLGuard is that while it achieves this primary protective function simply and elegantly, it does so many other things as well, supporting its claim to be both a protection and an automation tool. For example, if you sell a wide and diverse variety of products on your site, DLGuard has a built in shopping cart that can be quickly and simply integrated with your PayPal or 2Checkout account. This enables the customers who visit your site to be able to put several products into their shopping cart before checking out, and, when they finally do so, they only have to make the one total payment. This makes great sense for your business, as such flexibility and simplicity will help to encourage your customers to continue shopping and adding products to their shopping cart. Imagine how cumbersome it would be if every single item had to be checked out individually. Perhaps more importantly, it makes life super-simple for them as well, and they will enjoy an enhanced shopping experience through your site, making it far more likely that they will become regular repeat customers. Plus, of course, the whole transaction is protected by the DLGuard system. DLGuard is integrated with most of the major payment processors out there, such as AlertPay, Clickbank, PayDotCom, WorldPay, e-Gold and eBay, as well as the aforementioned PayPal and 2CO. There are multiple back office tools built into the software as well that themselves will enable you to be far more proactively involved in protecting your products and your business. It will track your customers for you, telling you, for example, who has downloaded the product in question and exactly how many times they have downloaded it. This enables you to spot download activity that appears suspicious very quickly, and you can then check with your customer that it is indeed them making multiple attempts to download the same thing (and why). DLGuard will automate the sometimes overlooked task of adding your customers to your mailing lists for you. It's widely accepted that existing customers are absolutely the best people to have on your mailing lists - they bought once so they may well do so again - and thus, this simple little DLGuard 'add-on' is likely to be a massive boost to your efforts to build your business long term. You can enable DLGuard to calculate your sales conversions for you, and track where such sakes come from as well, by comparing the number of sales to the amount of raw and unique hits you get to your sales page. The program will even create promotional coupons for you, and the whole look and feel of DL Guard is fully customizable as well. Conclusion: That is, it is first and foremast a program that achieves its core objectives (protecting all of your download links from theft) remarkably well. But what makes it different, and the real reason that I would recommend DLGuard to anyone who is marketing online, is that it achieves many other vital functions with similar efficiency. It integrates with autoresponders and all major payment processors quickly and without fuss. It offers tracking and reporting facilities that are better than some programs costing $50 or more, that do nothing other than that! It keeps an eye on your sales conversions, so you always know what is working and what is not. You can then 'tweak' or get rid of the poor performers accordingly. Bottom line is, every single function offered by DLGuard will make your business more profitable. For that reason alone, I would give it a huge 'thumbs up'! Rating: Website: Have You Used DLGuard?
