Best way to protect LP's and make them unrippable? (29)
Whats currently the best method to protect your LPs? I know theres obfuscation stuff but wondering if there is anything else out there...
Looking to get a coder to properly do as much as possible to one of my LP's so trying to get some input first so I know what to tell him.
Thanks!
There are no LPs that are "unrippable". Some people are getting creative by leveraging the traffic from people who are ripping pages.
I know you don't want to hear this, but you shouldn't rely on a unique landing page being your edge. I made that stake previously, and it was just an endless battle.
Until and unless DRM comes in for web pages, there's no 100% certain way to prevent people ripping your landers, I'm afraid.
(Even then, there won't be. DRM has some fatal flaws built into it.)
Best you can do is add in conversion stealing scripts masked among others that would redirect to your link if click doesn't come from your domain. Even then I wouldn't bother unless you're making bank with a LP and see it being ripped everywhere.
Short answer, nothing.
I have tried all kinds of tricks and while some work none will set back a tech savvy competitor.
Your best bet is to shape your business in such a way that a landing page isn't your only competitive advantage.
Didnt nicky cakes come up with a LP lock software?
Like the guys above said, there is no way...i researched this a lot to find some alternatives, but once the page is rendered, you can't do anything. LPOptimizer has a protection module that will redirect a percent of the traffic back to you if the page will get stolen, with a script hidden and encoded into another fake script. Anyway, if the thief will remove all the JS, it won't work. Even so, I tried to make the thief think that removing that JS will mess with the layout in some browsers, some guys bite that and keep the script on the page.
I'm pretty sure you can't do more than that to protect the landers, anyone who knows some coding will rip it off without issues, the only advantage you may have is that most marketers aren't tech savy.

Even if you could technically prevent copying the source code, people can always make a screenshot and recreate the page.
Another thing you could do is to hide a retarget cookie somewhere in the JS. If people steal your lander and don't notice this you can at least benefit by retargeting their visitors.
Waste of time, whatever the browser renders clientside you have no control over. Best you can do is frustrate a newbie but as mentioned above, someone tech-savvy will rip it in minutes.
Weak technical protection would be base64 with javascript and a referrer check and maybe excluding people who reload the page
If you know the town of your competitors, you can do a geo-redirect to a stupid landingpage or just don't show your ads at all (I know some brand-bidders exclude the geo's of the brand and their agency that way)
I would not do a hidden redirect from a competitors website to your own page, as this is simply not allowed by law - even if somebody copies your page that doesn't give you permission to steal their traffic.
If somebody copies your ads and you can prove you ran the ad first, the trafficsource will usually take the ad down (source: talked with ex-trafficjunky guy, not 1st hand experience).
Personally, I would lawyer any affiliate who copies my landingpage or any element of it. Copyright infringement IS considered a crime in most countries - which means that you can usually break through whois protection and you CAN get the police involved and have them send a letter with request for a statement from the offender. Sounds dramatic - but it's not a big deal either for your nor for the offending affiliate. Still, paying arround 1000 EUR to your lawyer and getting a letter from the cops is a strong sign to most people not to do it again 
I did a minor copyright violation earlier this year (copied a pic from google images, edited it and used it as an ad - stupid I know) and it cost me 800 EUR.
Disclaimer: not a law guy, sources are my personal experience on my own projects and as a hosting provider, only relating to germany but US and most of europe should be similiar

But I understand your point, that's the way it should be, however most people don't have the German mindset about legal/privacy stuff...unfortunately.
Hmmh it's like 5 minute work to send an email to your lawyer and the offending party obviously has to pay your costs ... so it actually sounds more complex than it actually is in practice 
My Best Technique: Ensure that the page loads exactly one time per unique device (given that that coincides with your specific campaign). Prying eyes will see your LP once, and only once if done correctly (meaning, do not naively give your user a cookie that they can easily erase, hard code the computers unique fingerprint to a database). This reduces the chances of replicating or stealing your LP by a very large amount because they will probably take down the URL in a notepad, thinking they'll reference it later, but then its gone for them forever by that point.
Honestly, I think a lot of people are getting caught up in actually hiding/obfuscating their LPs, and missing the whole point. Your LP is epic, cool. Its the key component to your $XX,XXX per day campaign. You know how profitable it is, but no one else does. What i'm saying is that I don't think the likelihood is as strong as it seems – that someone is going to see your lander, and instantly come up with the realization that its making you tons of money. What you really want to hide is the idea (angle), which is impossible. Hiding/locking (attempting to hide, i should say) the code will weed out the vast majority of copy-and-pasters, but whats stopping anyone from seeing your angle and making their own lander out of it? Unless you lander is unique programmatically (i.e you created a javascript algorithm that can compute pi to the nth digit faster than blah blah blah etc...), then you should definitely be using techniques to mask it. Anyways, when i started doing AM, i saw, like everyone else that in adult, the rules LP is clearly winning/profitable. So i made a rules lander in about 15 min, and it would have made zero difference if the LP i originally saw had Herculean code-masking techniques, or was written and commented like a text book, i didn't even look at the source code – and i still had the lander in my possession in a matter of minutes. The same can be said for your lander unless your LP is driven by a database of unique content (like DMV records, or local-landmark-to-IP indices, for example) and/or unique and valuable algorithms that are not publicly accessible. I did this on my first ever profitable campaign. I made an AI chat room, that was incredibly convincing, it converted like crazy. It went so far as looking up nearby places to the users IP address and the chat robot would make claims about the users local restaurants (do u live near the KFC by 4th st.?), completely convincing the user of being a real girl, that happens to live by the users favorite restaurant. That lander killed it and no one could steal it, short of hiring someone to replicate what i spent about 2 weeks creating, which would be kinda pricey to hire someone to make, but now i am getting off topic..
Anyways, despite all that, i have been developing a free domain locking tool for javascript, because i think there are a lot of people in this industry and others, who would benefit from fighting off the majority of lazy people stealing their unique landers. And I like to think this game is won by those those willing to bust their ass the hardest, LPs should be hard to steal, and if you can't figure out how to steal it then you don't deserve the benefits it may or may not produce, just my opinion... anyways, the tool – you insert any JS code and it will render it broken on all domains except your own, in a very disguised way. Will be launching that sometime in next few weeks...
UPDATE: Here is the javascript code I said I would release: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-landing-pages
Damn, that's some great ideas right there. Definitely interested in the JS. Props for the AI chat too, nice idea with the local restaurants.
I'd be keen for that JS too.
I understand the principles and technical implementation to it all, I'm just too lazy to do it haha.
I'd rather focus on making new campaigns/landers and testing them first, then protecting them later.
Great to hear interest in the JS tool I'm making, I will announce it on the forum once its finished. For those interested, please do leave any suggestions, or ideas if can think of any (hope im not highjacking this thread). I'm still in a phase that I can implement any specific ideas/features anyone hear may have.
The closest I've seen is a page where, when I pressed Save (to download the html etc.) it was a file of about a million line returns/breaks. Taking these out, I was left with absolutely nothing. I'm not sure how this worked. Firebug and other tools also could not organise the HTML tags in a pleasing way to the eye - also a first. The webpage was nothing special though, I just wanted to have it so I could say I defeated this anti-theft system lmao.
Custom scripts on the back-end is the way to go imo - nobody wants to put in weeks of work to replicate an entire database of things. You'd need to specify no caching, so that the page isn't available for offline browsing.
it seems whenever someone is using iMobitrax I'm unable to rip their lander. not sure why though. I just get a blank .php page.
That sounds like your browser being a tool haha. Try another!
I have made some landers that are painful to edit (not rip though) because it's simple HTML with everything you see controlled by JS, and editing it looks like a nightmare.

There is some SaaS to really encrypt (not just obfuscate) Javascript: https://www.javascriptobfuscator.com...embership.aspx but it seems too much of a hassle (and you should do sensitive stuff server-side anyways.).
Another good thing to prevent automatic scraping below (I put it into htaccess). If someone wants to copy your site, he'll do it and there's really no defense but this should prevent some email crawlers, bots, the more stupid copycats etc.

the best way is to create a website fully with angularjs, this means the whole website is pure JS and you can massivly obfuscate it and include some anti theft scripts aswell.
So the thief cant just remove JS as it will remove most of the content
^ What if they use "Show Generated Code" from the Web Developer Toolbar, wont' that show the plain HTML generated from JS?
I've been spending WAY to much time thinking about this issue , would be way better off now having invested the time to launch campaigns haha
Bottomline I arrived at personally:
It's pretty easy to stop newbies and lazy people from ripping your landers (that's the 90% + you got right there by implementing some stuff that takes half an hour)
For the rest don't even bother.
it might only make sense for the few people here, who are at a level where you have taken care of any other way to spend your time that's much more valuable, and want to reduce the small number of people still ripping your lander even further. Then it might be smart going from focusing on anti-rip to stopping people from even viewing it in the first place.
Note: Might also depend on what you're doing, I'm talking from my experience in all kinds of mobile offers (apps, pins, sweeps ...)
You cant hedge against a screenshot tool and odesk.
Ultimately if someone wants your page they'll get it. By all means protect your campaign but don't make your lander your unique leverage.
Using angular does give you a bit of a moat, however I can think of a ton of better use cases for angular than protecting my page.

Someone who really want to steal your site have to reassemble each part of it manual which is hell lot of work and with obfuscated variables a funny job
@grandtheftpixel - i am using angular for better "user experience"
If a site is that well protected, isn't that a sign to the scraper the Lp is worth scraping?

Why? Because if the browser can render it to us, the user, it's pretty trivial to look directly at the generated content and save it.
People go nuts trying to mess around with the source code but its trivial to open the web dev console and look at the rendered HTML and just save that...
As always, its better to focus on competitive advantages that give you long-term leverage, which a landing page will rarely ever do.
