With the launch of ECU Pro, we’d thought it would be great to take a look at some of the new functionality that Pro users can use with their Easy Content Units.   To access affiliate pro, you will need to be a member of ECU (join here), and then visit our Upgrade to ECU Pro page.

Removal of Revenue Share:

As we’ve already mentioned, for Pro users, the revenue share is removed, meaning that your units show your links all the time – all commission is yours, with no leakage.    This means that for affiliates earning more than £100 commission from all of their ECUs, will be better off on the Pro subscription, if you’re not quite there, then the current scheme is maybe the right one for you.  Unless you want the shiney new functions we’re also throwing into Pro.

Advanced Stats:

The stats we provided with ECU was great for the first few months whilst affiliates were getting to grips with it, but now there’s lots of units, and they spread out over months, they really don’t help too much.  So in the Pro version there are a few additions, like being able to filter by unit,  sort by date, and coming soon, individual click data for your units.

PHP Coding:

One of the things alot of affiliates have asked for is the ability to include a php version so that the contents of the units can be ‘readble’ by the search engines.  Although we resisted at first (because of the duplication issues for affiliate sites) we have included the options in the Pro account.  At the bottom of the styling is a new link ‘PHP Code for this unit’ click on this and a box will open up with the code you need to paste into your page.  For wordpress users you will need the Exec-PHP so that the php will execute in your posts.

Branding Opportunity:

The Pro subscription will also give you the opportunity to ‘Brand’ the units with extra images and links in the header/footer so that you can create a totally unique unit.
