What is the best way to protect my e-book?

[karlp295]

Just launched my new e-book "self esteem secrets" and sales are going well but I have a problem....

Some people have accessed the download page via search engines...

How can I best protect me e-book from being accessed and downloaded by someone who has not paid for it?

I did use the robot.txt command to prevent the page being spidered but seems like MSN and GOOGLE still got the page.

Is there a simple way to prevent this?

Today I compressed my pdf e-book into .rar format and moved my download page again...

What else can I do?

PDF format itself offers various degree of protection - you can dissalowed printing, editing, copying, etc. You also can protect file with password and provide the password in a separate email, so downloading the book would become useless without your permission. Hope this helps

Don't allow your download page to be searchable by the search engines, and put a separate security on your download pge that if they dont get there by a certain link, it goes blank
