Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

clickbanklogo.gifIf you are an existing ClickBank vendor, you must realize that you can define more than one products in your account. The problem is, ClickBank only allows one Hoplink Target URL. If you want to showcase your products like a shopping cart, then that’s fine. But if you want each product to have its own website and sales letter, then you may have a problem.

Fortunately, there’s a way to work around that. By informing your affiliates to add extra data in their hoplink, you can redirect visitors to the right product pages.

How To Use DLGuard To Protect Your Digital Products

Towards the end of that article, it seems that I talked very highly of DLGuard.

I started using DLGuard starting with my second product in 2006. Ever since, every product that I rolled out, I use DL Guard. Of course, that is with the exception of my viral list building projects, where I use a membership site script.

I started using DL Guard from version 2. And now they are at version 4 already. At first Sam Stephens (the creator) used his own data storage system. So no MySQL database is required. There are pros and cons to that. The good thing is you don’t have to mess with difficult MySQL settings. But the bad thing is his own data system is not the best solution to the problem.

That is why now, Sam has started using MySQL in DLGuard, starting from version 3. And you thought that it’ll be difficult. Actually no. With the MySQL version, Sams also took some drastic steps by using better software development tools, IonCube. With IonCube, you Sams is able to deliver DLGuard with an easy to use installer software. All you need to do is run that EXE software, define a few settings and you are done.

Ever since having installed DLGuard, life has been easy… at least in this one area.

Let me tell you about the life before DLGuard…
