Stopping people from stealing your links !
I run a downloads site and am frustrated at how much people are mass stealing my posts. so.. I had an idea.
I have tried discussing this at vb.org but all i got was nothing , maybe people here can listen to my idea.
So , i quote.. directly from my thread at vb.org
Now, hows my idea, if any of you godss think this is practically possible.. please reply to this thread

Suppose i have a site mysite.com Suppose we have to post a download link... www.rapidshare.com/download111.rar On the newthread template, a link converter would be present.. The user would paste the above link into the link converter and voila ! out comes the protected link.. (Using an AJAX system) Suppose the protected link is : mysite.com/protector.php?linkid=11245 What happens in the background is, the link gets stored and mapped into the database and the user gets the protected link ( mysite.com/protector.php?linkid=11245 ) Now, when some 3rd person clicks this link mysite.com/protector.php?linkid=11245 , if the incoming hit is from the local site mysite.com the link is converted into the original link (which is mapped into the database) and the user is forwarded to the original link If, the hit comes from an external site (meaning somebody has copied ur link and posted on their forums) then the link would not be converted. EVEN BETTER !!! the link would be converted to your forum address : mysite.com |
