As affiliates we know the value in put up and forget solutions, everyone is looking for an easier life, without having to check this and change that. If the solution could also get results and become one of my top performing pieces of creative then that would be excellent.

This is where we came up with the idea of expanding Easy Content Units to merchants, so they could provide us affiliates with just that, a top piece of creative that can be put up and forgot. That’s how Managed Units started off, then we thought, the merchant just doesn’t make them the way I would to fit in with my site, plus wouldn’t it be cool to include the units in my stats, so that we can check that things tally up with the networks, and so a revamp to our Managed Units did just that.

So the key features then:

• Put up and forget
• Contains the best selling products – so top converting
• Style it the way you want – only thing you can’t change is the products
• Stats in your account

Managed Units suit the following uses:

• Shopping Directory sites
• Voucher Code sites
• Merchant Review pages
• Home page ‘best sellers’ list
• Sidebar Widget
• Category Pages
• Plus a lot more

Using Managed Units

Here’s a step by step guide to using Managed Units:

Visit the Managed Units page and pick your merchant

Click on the name of the merchant

All the available units for the merchant is presented with a description

Click on View unit to see what products are currently included

If you’d like to add this unit to your site, tick the box and click submit

You can then edit the unit in the usual way, changing any aspect apart from the products listed

Once you’re happy take the code and place it on our site
