Introducing LPLockdown

Well, this post has been a long time coming. As some of you know, Nickycakes has had a project in development for the past several months. The past few weeks have seen the final stages of beta testing, which some of you were kind enough to participate in. Now is finally the time for the finished product to be released.
Nickycakes is proud to finally introduce LPLockdown, a comprehensive landing page protection service that effectively spells the end of landing page theft. As anyone who has ever had a campaign stolen can tell you, being able to keep your landing page hidden and free of theft for even a few extra days will potentially make you hundreds, if not thousands in extra profit.
These are tools that Nickycakes has personally used himself for a long time to keep his own campaigns hidden from prying eyes. If you have been a reader for a while, you might remember a post a while back that had a small piece of code to help cloak your landing pages to prevent other affiliates from seeing them. That idea was used as a base to create a full comprehensive package that does everything you could possibly dream of to keep your pages safe.
So what does it do exactly? Well, LPLockdown has 3 main features: a cloaker, a monitor, and a stolen page hijacker.
The Cloaker
The concept behind the cloaker is fairly straightforward. LPLockdown has cleverly collected a list of over 150,000 ip addresses of internet marketers from various sources. You can use this list to show these people a different page than your own instead of your landing page. For example, some landing page thief is on google looking for a page to steal, clicks your ad, and is sent to your landing page. If you have LPLockdown enabled, he is sent somewhere else instead. Maybe an Amazon.com page for a related product. Thinking this is the page you advertising, he will likely move on to the next ad and steal someone elses page instead of yours. In addition to just internet marketing IP addresses, there are many other things to cloak against, including geographic locations.
The Monitor(s)
There are actually two features in LPLockdown that actively monitor your landing pages. The first is an uptime monitor. If you do PPC, you NEED an uptime monitor. Nickycakes doesn’t even care if you use his service for this. If you don’t have one, you NEED to get one. If your hosting craps out on you while you’re at lunch, and you don’t notice for a few hours, you can lose a LOT of money. Well, with the uptime monitor, you’ll have a SMS text message sent to your phone the minute your hosting dies letting you shut down your traffic before things get out of hand. This is an essential tool for any internet marketer to have, period.
The second monitor is a theft monitor. Using hidden code on your landing page, LPLockdown will notify you the minute someone manages to steal your page and move it to their own hosting. Normally, this wouldn’t really be a big deal, since, in the past, there was next to nothing you could do if someone stole your page except get pissed about it and move on, but this brings us to the third major feature of LPLockdown which Nickycakes likes to refer to as “Creative Loss Prevention”.
Creative Loss Prevention
Ok, so lets say someone manages to steal your page. They upload it to their hosting, and you immediately get a text message telling you something’s up. You then log into LPLockdown (you can do this with your iphone, blackberry, whatever) and with a few clicks, LPLockdown can instruct the stolen landing page to send all the thief’s traffic back to your own page. Or, you could wait until they grab a $10,000 a day media buy before springing the trap. You can also do fun things like rewrite all the links on his page, turning them into your own affiliate links. This isn’t stuff that requires any technical knowledge on your part, mind you; all of this is done via simple drop-down menus.
Game over.
Extras!
There are a few extra fun features thrown in for good measure, such as an HTML code obfuscator, which simply encodes your webpage, making it nearly impossible for anyone to edit it if they steal it. New features and improvements will be added regularly.
How much does it cost?
$49.72 per month. Considering the thousands that it will save you, this is pretty much the bargain of a lifetime.
How can you trust Nickycakes with your data?
For anyone who knows Nickycakes, this isn’t even a question, but let’s just say if he wanted to steal your campaigns, he wouldn’t create a sophisticated page-anti-theft service in order to thieve your landing page. If you feel uncomfortable using this service, by all means, don’t. Someone’s probably stealing your landing page right now.
Is there a self-hosted version?
No.
What happens if something goes wrong with the LPLockdown servers? Will your pages still work?
Yes, the way the service is set up, in the unlikely event of any kind of failure, your pages will load just fine. If not, Nickycakes promises he will blame DirectTrack
.
Where can you sign up?
Well, the answer is, not here. LPLockdown is invite only, and Nickycakes is not personally issuing invites. The guys and girls who were kind enough to offer their assistance in beta testing have been given a limited number of invites to distribute. Why? Nickycakes would rather you get the opinion of someone who has actually used the service themselves and is not the one selling it to you. A good place to ask for invites would be Cakes Chat, or maybe Wickedfire forums, as the people beta testing are mostly from those two places.
There is another way to sign up, but may take a bit longer. LPLockdown has a waiting list which you can sign up to HERE. Some invites will be periodically sent out on a first-come, first-serve basis. You probably want to put yourself down on this list first, in case you can’t find someone who has an extra invite.
Thank You
This is the first time Nickycakes has sold anything, and he has done his best to come up with something that provides significant value to his peers (you guys) in the industry. It is 100% designed by affiliates, for affiliates. You will really love LPLockdown, and it will completely change your game for the better.
Keep it real.






Nice project man! This is long overdue!
Nice – love the “Creative Loss Prevention”. Wonder how you’re actually doing everything (guessing some really creative JS) – sounds absolutely great!
That’s what I’m guessing too. Interesting concept. Definitely a market for it
I love this so far! This is a top notch service for marketers!
this is def useful… this is def something for all affiliate marketers! Especially if you make your own landing pages!
The first IP per domain needs to be excluded from the “creative loss prevention” redirect.
Why? Because it will be the thieve’s IP. Step 3 will be much more effective this way.
way ahead of you
wouldn’t be so sure
Hey, this sounds awesome and congrats on the launch.
Just one question/suggestion: with the Creative Loss Prevention, could you set it so that, for example, only 1/20 of the clicks actually get redirected to your page, so the thief has a better chance of not noticing something is wrong and continuing the campaign?
Then users could choose whether they want all the links to go to their offers, or if they want to chance that the person won’t notice and get residual cash for as long as the theif keeps the campaign going.
yes, absolutely. it’s pretty easy too
Cool, great feature. Just reading through the other comments you’ve definitely thought through every single aspect. Nice work.
I like the way you think Hannah!
Will you be releasing LPUnlocker before somebody else does?
Couldn’t the thief simply remove the javascript after stealing the page? Maybe I don’t understand…
Yes. It is, however, very small. If you hide it well, they are unlikely to find it.
hey nickycakes, congrats on the product release.
could someone who steals landing pages buy this product, then know what to look for when he steals someone’s page? or are they usually not that thorough? b/c i’ve seen some hollywood diet ripoffs that have the original domain in the footer credits…
Most of the idiots who rip landing pages will have no idea what to look for. They simply copy/paste the whole thing and change out the affiliate links. Even if they look hard, it’s still very easy to miss, assuming they can even get past the other lines of defense first.
Very interesting and I’m even more interested in the price.
Wacky price.
BU – GA – GA ))
many of marketers work under vpn and proxies )
Nicky,
What are the odds of me becoming your personal assistant and you taking me under your wing.
uhh i’d say slim to none
So you’re saying there’s a chance….
Congratulations on developing the most creative and smart tool I heard of in a looong time!
Very impressive Mr. Cakes
Expect a C & D from Kanye West soon.
I’m gonna let you finish, but Oprah had one of the best C+D’s of ALL TIME.
ha ha
You have to be a fool to run it without self-hosted open source version.
If this thing can hijack stolen LP back to owner, so it could divert your traffic to Mr. Cakes himself. Perhaps a very small fraction of the traffic to make it hard to notice.
If you don’t trust me, then please don’t use it. Anyone with half a brain will know I wouldn’t risk my integrity and my business over something stupid like that.
I’ve heard that one a few times.
Instead of a SMS text, can it email you?
as a matter of fact, it can
Way to go taking action to get this thing out there. Guess I missed the beta but happy to give feedback at any point and promote it.
Btw I think it should redirect a % of their traffic to a poken order page.
Cheers.
Great service at work here, I was lucky enough to get in on the beta and only now am I taking the time to look into it further.
An idea im sure is implemented already would be to encrypt the entire html code along with the hidden javascript so as to render rip off artists efforts futile.
If that’s already included excuse my ignorance to an otherwise excellent service that was definitely needed in the affiliate space.
this is a dream for some and a nightmare for many
Sick! Way overdue in the aff space
Nick,
What are the odds of me becoming your personal assistant and you taking me under your wing?
Your Dad
slim to none, again.
My new business model: Use this and start outing my own landing pages on places like DP. Then siphon their traffic my way and enjoy the passive income.
That is so delightfully evil I think I just jizzed my jockeys.
Awesome! What a great idea for a service!
I’m guessing everyone who gets in will be hoping to have their LPs stolen by thieves who do high volume, though.
So you’re basically taking your old posts, packaging them up and selling them for $50/mo?
There’s nothing here you haven’t blogged about before..
I did actually blog about part of the cloaking part. I took that idea, expanded (extensively) on it, and am now selling it, yes. There are plenty of things I haven’t blogged about before, but feel free to write your own if you’d like.
There’s a ton of great and useful tools you can use in LP Lockdown. My favorite parts are the SMS text capability to your phone if something ain’t right and the cloaking feature.
Great work Nick.
Congrats Nick. Looks great!
no self-hosted? no thanks!
Shitstorm of the year from affiliate of the year.
How do you determine which IPs come from affiliates? I am sure this is confidential, but I am curious as to how accurate your IP list is.
This has been an interesting product launch, much publicity – I’m not sure if all publicity is good publicity, but there was lots of it for sure.
Simply an amazing post. I havent been following you much cakes but am looking forward to your stuffs. Heard quite about you mate!
good luck
looks kewl, hope this products does well for ya
How much does it cost per month to have you remove my IP from your list?
Brandon
So, if I want to steal somebody’s landing page can’t I just steal their images and reconstruct the landing page myself? Who would actually just copy and paste code to steal a landing page?
Or am I totally misunderstanding how this thing is supposed to work?
Actually, almost everyone copies and pastes the code. Sad but true.
If you could reconstruct the thing from the images, I’m pretty sure you would be good enough at design to make your own stuff anyway.
Gotcha…I’m actually a PPC newb myself, but I tend to overestimate what the average schmuck online is capable of these days ha ha
