Dear Online Colleague,

An eBay thief exposed a problem we didn't know we had. Millions of online businesses have the very same problem. Yours could be one of them. You'll read more below about the thief, a brazen opportunist who hid in plain sight on eBay and ultimately inspired us to create HotlinkALARM to protect websites worldwide.

But let's begin with a 90-second demonstration of HotlinkALARM protecting a website. This video features two of HotlinkALARM's many powerful hotlink-detection and theft-prevention features.

HotlinkALARM is Brand New software technology released on January 15. It gives you a distinct advantage over hotlinkers and digital thieves, becoming your early warning system that an unauthorized website is displaying your digital property, draining your bandwidth and possibly even stealing your products and brand identity — perhaps even your personal identity.

Inspired By A Brazen eBay Thief

eBay is one of the world's great businesses, empowering ordinary people from across the globe to make money online from home. Its success as a "Destination" website, however, also makes it a favorite marketplace for hotlinkers, product thieves and digital pirates. 

Such was the case in October 2007, when a digital pirate stole our highly successful eBook, "20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online" and posted an illegal eBay auction.

Not only did the thief take our product and slash the price from $27 to $9.99, he also hotlinked to the images on our server. Incredible as it seems, he stole our product and our carefully crafted brand identity and drove traffic to his illegal auction by using images he pulled from our web server.

Think it couldn't happen to you? Well, it's time to think again. These are actual screenshots of the thief's eBay auction:

Basically we had two choices: Play by the thief's rules and lose control of our product, profits and intellectual property — or do something about it.

We chose the latter. HotlinkALARM was born after we learned a very important lesson: If it's not nailed down, somebody will take it. HotlinkALARM nails it down.

Pirates Are The Plague Of The Online Business World

Retail theft is a $100 billion problem globally. As online commerce expands, so do the opportunities for pirates and thieves. Sometimes the thieves work alone. But often they're part of an organized band of pirates with a common goal: To enrich themselves at your expense by stealing your digital property and brand identity.

Pirates can heist your intellectual property even if they live on the other side of the world. Their specialty is stealing your hard work, your graphics, your products, your brand identity — even your personal identity. That's what they did to us until we said "No More!" by creating HotlinkALARM.

Chances are good that your website is losing business to thieves. Ours was. The eBay thief's customers didn't know they were dealing with a pirate. They even left him positive feedback! In essence, the pirate was leeching off of our positive brand identity, using our intellectual property to create profits for himself at our expense.

We went to work immediately to take the advantage away from the thief. The discussions about creating HotlinkALARM and programming it to disarm pirates began only hours after we noticed the illegal eBay auction.

HotlinkALARM is a dynamic software suite that protects your digital assets from theft, empowering you to plug profit leaks and regain control over your intellectual property, your brand and your good name. 

The software sends you an email when it detects hotlinking. The email includes the URL of the website doing the hotlinking and the name of the file being hotlinked. The technology enables you to act swiftly to stop a thief from using your intellectual property to stock his piracy warehouse or sell your product illegally on eBay or other websites.

HotlinkALARM protects virtually all file types. The product can benefit you instantly if you use any of these common file types on your web pages:

jpg	jpeg	gif	png	zip	pdf
doc	exe	xls	js	css	mov
mp3	mp4	wmv	flv	wma	mpg
mpeg1	mpeg2	avi	midi	rm	ram

One of HotlinkALARM's very first customers received 14 email alerts on his first day of use. HotlinkALARM exposed a piracy problem he didn't know he had. Such stories are becoming increasingly common among HotlinkALARM users. They simply didn't know that hotlinkers were using their websites as a supply source for piracy warehouses that are proliferating online.

Pirates delight in invading your space and your privacy. Talk about nerve! It's likely only to get worse if the economy nosedives in 2008.

Hotlinking to graphics is a favorite pastime of thieves. But what if your graphics aren't the only thing they've taken? The graphics could be the tip-off that they've also stolen your product!

And there's something else to get your blood boiling. Maybe they've hotlinked your graphics to a site that's undesirable by any standard of decency. It could be a hate site or a site that sells illegal products.

Perhaps they're displaying your hotlinked images on sites that peddle family-unfriendly graphics or take advantage of children, senior citizens or vulnerable members of society.

Imagine your red-faced embarrassment: Your images, your hard work — displayed on a site that would make your mother cringe and your grandmother faint.

And what if your images aren't the only thing they've stolen? Remember, if it's not nailed down, somebody will take it. That's why we designed HotlinkALARM to protect multiple file types, putting you in control of your intellectual property and taking control away from those who'd do you harm.

"From download to installation it was super easy to set up and get going right the first time. The questions asked during the install were easy for me to answer and the Control Panel is easy to navigate. "Knowing that HotlinkAlarm is going to notify me by email if any graphic is being hotlinked and even telling me the website where it is gives me the time to concentrate more on building my sites and worry less about somebody stealing my products. "The PowerAlarm features are fantastic, it goes way beyond my expectations. I am installing this on every server I use. It even worked on my self-hosted Wordpress sites. "Super-easy, Newbie-friendly, High-tech. I will be highly recommending this program." Yvonne Lyon http://www.revengeofthenewbies.com/therotnblog

While hotlinkers and pirates are pumping up their profits at your expense, your brand is getting diluted and your server is pulling files for a thief. That's not good in any case, but it's especially bad if you use a shared hosting account. Most Internet Marketers and small businesses online use shared hosting. Image pirates put your server and hosting account at risk.

But theft of ordinary graphics is only part of the risk. You'll be in deep, deep bandwidth trouble if a hotlinker steals your videos and audios, sucking the life out of your server.

The message of these contemptible, hotlinking pirates is simple:

"Not only am I going to steal your property, I'm going to rub your face in it and hand you the bill!"

Well, HotlinkALARM is an excellent way to track down thieves who are illegally selling your product!

Image theft and hotlinking occur daily worldwide — and not just on eBay and other auction sites. Dishonest Bloggers steal intellectual property, converting it to their own use. So do corrupt webmasters.  So do so solo thieves and organized piracy groups, some of which operate from half a world away. 

In the worst cases, the thieves even may steal a digital photograph of you and post it in forums and elsewhere. They might even pose as you, making identity theft part of their poison plan. Somebody could be paying them for products, thinking they're paying you. That's what happened to us on eBay.

Know what else? Pirates even may steal digital photographs of your customers, friends and colleagues who provide Testimonials for you — and they could pose as them. It's enough to ruin a good day in a hurry.

HotlinkALARM adds security to your web presence. It gives you an edge over pirates — and you'll reclaim your intellectual property and the traffic you're losing to thieves.

Our proprietary technology detects hotlinking and is customizable to suit your precise needs. Two things happen:

You'll get an email that informs you someone is hotlinking your images. This email includes the URL of the hotlinking web page, the type of file that's being hotlinked, and other information about the website. You can set the HotlinkALARM system to email you each time a hotlink is detected or once a day.

This will appear in your inbox.

This is the message.

HotlinkALARM substitutes your images on the hotlinker's website with our special default image that announces to the world that the website owner is displaying unauthorized graphics. And if you choose to use the unique PowerALARM technology included with HotlinkALARM, you'll also have the option of creating your own graphics and tailoring a message you'd like the hotlinker's website visitors to see, if you don't want to use our default image.

What's really cool is the thieves won't necessarily know you've caught them. Our proprietary technology gives you the option to hide the discovery from them for a limited time. Following that time period, people who visit their website will see messages that the hotlinking image pirate can't see.

HotlinkALARM includes a default image, plus a selection of other images you're free to employ. Our graphics come in an assortment of sizes. Think our messages might make an impression on the audience of the thief?

HotlinkALARM is extremely versatile. Included with the software is a dynamic PowerALARM option that gives you each of these robust capabilities:

Talk about a powerful features set!

You can continue to beam your message for as long as you'd like. Eventually the thief will discover he's been caught. He'll be motivated do remove your images and not mess with you again.

HotlinkALARM gives you a win over the crooks! They've had their way long enough. By using HotlinkALARM, you're protecting your business and raising your fist in the air and shouting, "No More!"

You'll have HotlinkALARM looking out for you around the clock. In short, you have the tool to help you win!

Our specialty is graphics substitution and redirecting traffic, of course. But our technology also enables you to guard against hotlinking JavaScript files, off-site CGI programs (like forms), and video, audio, PDF and ZIP files.

Although HotlinkALARM does not provide substitution files for these types of files, you can create your own substitution files. HotlinkALARM will notify you that someone is hotlinking.

Here's a screenshot of HotlinkALARM detecting a website hotlinking to a JavaScript file — and inserting a customized message that the website owner's visitors will see:

It's a built-in HotlinkALARM bonus! You'll always have the ability to substitute files for JavaScript, CGI, video, audio, PDFs, ZIP and other files.

HotlinkALARM has a powerful features set. But make sure you recognize that people who might download the files from the thief's website probably don't know the thief isn't authorized to distribute your intellectual property. Exercise prudence when creating substitution files.

But right now, I am going to talk about 2 that I like the most. "The number one reason is that I am adding more and more video to my marketing efforts, and I have to pay for my bandwidth. I don't need anyone else creating extra bills for me. "The number two reason is that if someone does borrow my images, now I can have a little fun by displaying whatever (use your imagination) message I want. This means that if someone is going to 'borrow' my work, I can at least make it so they help me market my other services. Kelvin Brown SurveySponder.com
