INTRODUCTION

Everyday thousands of dollars worth of digital products are being downloaded for free without anyone knowing!

By digital products I am referring to any product that can be downloaded from a web site such as eBooks, software, reports, etc.

The huge increase inrepparttar 106279 sale of digital products onrepparttar 106280 internet has led torepparttar 106281 need for web site owners to be more vigilant about security.

Many people new torepparttar 106282 internet are attracted byrepparttar 106283 huge profits that can be made selling digital products. Usuallyrepparttar 106284 sale of such items involves a visitor clicking on an order link, filling out a form with their credit card details and, once their payment has been approved, being redirected to a download page whererepparttar 106285 product they have just purchased can be immediately accessed.

I do not wish to cause a major panic amongstrepparttar 106286 online community but I have discovered several ways in which products sold online can be downloaded without being paid for.

What's more, there are people searching for these security loopholes so that they can download valuable eBooks and software without paying for them.

I have come across this phenomenon with my own sales web sites, where I have come across people searching for web pages that include download in their name, or trying various combinations of web page names to try and find my products.

This article highlightsrepparttar 106287 areas being targeted by unscrupulous web site visitors when they visit your web site trying to find products to download for free.

Your products may be being stolen without your knowledge today, reducing your sales revenue and profit.

Atrepparttar 106288 end of this article I will give you details where you can get yourself a comprehensive report that shows you step-by-step how your products may be being downloaded for free and shows you how to prevent this from happening on your site.

THE FIVE PLACES YOU MAY BE EXPOSED

Problem #1 - Search Engines

Your product download pages may have been indexed byrepparttar 106289 major search engines even if they are not apparently linked to your main sales page.

You may think this is not possible, how wrong you are.

When I was researching this topic I was able to find two pages where I could have downloaded products for free this way!

Problem #2 - Paypal

If you are using Paypal to handlerepparttar 106290 payments for your products you are inadvertantly inviting your web site visitors to your download page without paying you first!

The reason for this is that you have to include your product download page as part of your Paypal order link in your HTML.

There is a simple and effective way of resolving this problem and still use Paypal (after all they provide an excellent service). I will show you where you can find out how to solve this problem a little later.

The Top Ten Ways to Change a Mediocre Employee Into a High Performing One

The Top Ten Ways to Change a Mediocre Employee Into a High Performing One By Monty J. Sharp, Certified Comprehensive Coach http://www.workteamcoaching.com

Teambuilding expert and business consultant, Peter B. Grazier once said, “Employees want to contribute with their minds and abilities. They only have to be asked.” No one starts out wanting to be mediocre. We each have an innate desire to please, to excel at something. So why then do so many employees seem to work beneath their potential? More importantly, how can managers and employers turn under-performing employees into high performing ones? Here are ten ways to do just that.

1. Find out what motivates your employees. To do this, you must first discover what people value. Until you get in touch with what people perceive as valuable, you'll never be able to motivate them effectively. Don’t be fooled – it’s not always more money either.

2. Give employees a reason why. Managers and employers are often good at telling their employees “what” to do, but seldom give them a compelling reason “why” they are doing it and why it is important. Busy managers often resort torepparttar “Do it because I say so” mentality treating their employees like disobedient children in need of reproof.

3. Make a way “up”. Develop your employees. Find out their career goals and aspirations and help them achieve them. Why would someone want to excel at a “dead end” job? Would you?

4. Be a leader – not a dictator. Demandrepparttar 106275 best from your employees, but develop them in order for them to make good decisions. This will instill in them a sense of ownership and confidence inrepparttar 106276 organization.

5. Actively solicit input from your employees. Being a good leader doesn’t mean being a “know-it-all”. Solicit input from your team. Nothing kills team spirit and consequently high performance, faster than a leader with a “my way orrepparttar 106277 highway” mentality.
