Protected Download Redirect: A Practical, Policy-Safe Guide

TL;DR: This guide explains how the Protected Download Redirect page works, why it’s safer than direct links, and how to install and customize it on your site. It’s designed to be SEO-friendly, AdSense-compliant, and user-first—with clear UI, a countdown, optional sponsored slots, and automatic rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" on external links.

Why use a protected redirect instead of a direct download link?

Safety & trust: Users land on a clean, transparent page that explains what’s happening before the download starts.
Policy compliance: Neutral language and no click incentives help you stay within Google AdSense guidelines.
Better UX: A visible countdown and progress bar reduce confusion and increase perceived reliability.
Control: Optional sponsored blocks (clearly labeled) can be shown without pushing users to click.
Link hygiene: All external links are automatically set to rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" and open in a new tab.

How the redirect page works

Reads URL parameters: The tool parses information embedded by your builder (file URL, size, uploader name, date, etc.).
Renders download details: Users see the uploader, size (in KB/MB/GB), creation date, and an optional password field.
Shows a timer: A countdown with a progress bar runs for a defined duration (e.g., t=20 seconds).
Reveals action buttons: Only when the bar reaches 100%, the buttons Go to Secure Link and Copy Link become visible.
Sponsored slots (optional): If present, your top/bottom sponsored blocks appear, centered and clearly labeled as Sponsored.

Key features at a glance

AdSense-friendly language: No “click encouragement,” no misleading CTAs.
Nofollow by default: Every external link gets rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" and target="_blank".
Accessible UI: Semantic landmarks, ARIA roles for the progress bar, clear labels, and centered layout for clarity.
Resilient hiding of CTAs: Buttons remain hidden until the countdown completes (HTML hidden + inline styles + CSS class).
Robust decoding: Safe Base64 decoding with graceful fallbacks to avoid breaking the page.

Installing the redirect page in Blogger

Open Blogger → Posts → New post (or a Page).
Switch the editor to HTML mode.
Paste the redirect page code you generated (the version with the countdown, sponsored blocks, and nofollow safeguards).
Publish. Your redirect page URL will be something like: https://yourblog.blogspot.com/p/secure-redirect.html.
From your builder tool, point the generated links to this redirect page and pass the required parameters.

How to customize the countdown and labels

Countdown duration: Set the t parameter (e.g., t=15) in the query string to change the timer length. If omitted, it defaults to 20 seconds.
Sponsored blocks: Provide a2 (Top) and/or a1 (Bottom). They can be plain text or a URL. URLs render as policy-safe links with Sponsored label.
Password (optional): Pass ps to show a password field (decoded safely and displayed under Password).

Tip: Keep sponsored text concise and neutral. Avoid wording that could be interpreted as incentivizing clicks (e.g., “click to support us”).

URL parameters reference

The builder encodes most fields in Base64 to keep links compact and transport-safe. Here’s the reference table:

Param	Type	Required	Description	Example
`n`	Base64	Yes	Filename source (kept for compatibility with the builder pattern).	`n=...`
`d`	Number	Yes	Timestamp in milliseconds (shown as a UTC date).	`d=1735850123456`
`u`	Base64	Yes	Uploader name shown under Uploader.	`u=...`
`ul`	Base64	Yes	Uploader page/website URL (kept for compatibility).	`ul=...`
`l`	Base64	Yes	Final file URL (validated; must be `http` or `https`).	`l=...`
`s`	Base64	Yes	File size in bytes; converted to KB/MB/GB for display.	`s=...`
`ps`	Base64	No	Password (if applicable); shows a Password row.	`ps=...`
`a2`	Base64	No	Top sponsored content. URL or plain text. Labeled Sponsored.	`a2=...`
`a1`	Base64	No	Bottom sponsored content. URL or plain text. Labeled Sponsored.	`a1=...`
`t`	Number	No	Countdown in seconds (default `20`).	`t=15`

Example URL (for testing)

Note: This is a structural example. Replace the ... values with actual Base64-encoded strings from your builder. Avoid linking to third-party files you don’t own.

SEO best practices for this page

Keep the title descriptive: e.g., “Protected Download Redirect”.
Write a helpful intro: Explain what users should expect in a single short paragraph.
Use semantic headings (H2/H3): Improves readability and scannability.
Stay policy-neutral: Avoid phrases that can be seen as incentivizing clicks on ads.
Use JSON-LD: Include a simple WebPage or Article schema (see below) to clarify page purpose.

Troubleshooting

Buttons appear too early: Ensure you’re using the latest code. The CTAs are triple-hidden (HTML hidden, inline display:none, and a CSS class). External theme CSS won’t override all three.
No redirect after countdown: Confirm l decodes to a valid http/https URL.
Size shows “Unavailable”: Make sure s is a Base64-encoded positive integer (bytes).
Sponsored links don’t center: Use the latest style block; sponsored containers and content are centered by default.

FAQs

Is this allowed by AdSense?

The page uses neutral, user-first language; it does not encourage ad clicks and clearly labels sponsored content. It is designed to help with policy compliance, but you are ultimately responsible for following Google’s Program Policies on your site.

Can I change the countdown length?

Yes. Add t=NUMBER (e.g., t=10) to the query string.

Do I have to include sponsored slots?

No. They are optional. If you don’t pass a1 or a2, the blocks simply won’t render.

What if my theme forces buttons to show?

The code applies three layers of hiding. If a third-party script still forces them visible, remove that script or add a stronger CSS rule like .is-hidden{display:none!important} (already included in the latest version).
