Hidden Page

[lesndesi]

i just built my first website where i am selling info. It will be just one downloadable product. How do i build a hidden page, so after the customer pays he/she will go to that page but only after they pay. Also, the downloadable product is in pdf style, how do i up load that file to that hidden page?



thank you,

If they pay through an HTML form, after they hit the submit button redirect them to the hidden page if possible. On the hidden page in the head section after <title>, put <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow, noarchive">
That will keep search engine robots from indexing your site. That's about all you can do to protect a page in HTML. If you new PhP or something like that you could make your page much more secure.

thank you for your help...how do i get a hmtl form and what is the best or should i just build another web page and publish it. If so, would i put that code on the webpage in the hmtl code section of the webpage? I need to use i guess the webgem to upload my pdf file but it needs code for that, im lost for that what can i get to transfer my pdf file to hmtl format, so they can just click on the image to download what they paid for?

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

if (document.referrer != "http://www.page-where-they-pay.com") {
self.location.href = "http://www.different-page.com";
}

</script>

If the visitor did not come from the page where they order and pay the money, the script will redirect them to a different page saying, for example, that they need to pay or something. If they did come from the ordering page, then it will let them stay. Paste this code into the head section of the page you want hidden.

Hope that helps. That should work although I am no JavaScript expert.:)
