Happy Birthday to ECU!

happy birthday ecu19th January 2009 was the day we finally released the very first public beta version of Easy Content Units, and what a whirlwind year it’s been – the system has been tweaked literally (take note Jamie Redknapp!) hundreds of times to take on board new features, suggestions and improvements from users, of which there are now nearly 1,300! Amazingly, this tool that we created initially for use on our own sites has generated more than 24 million impressions on other users sites in the previous 12 months – not bad from a standing start!

To help celebrate our first anniversary, we’d like to invite you to take a peek at what the Pro version of ECU can do, with a very special £1 offer.. With ECU Pro, you get:

  • You keep 100% of the commissions. This means if you earn more than £100 a month, you’d be better off on Pro.
  • Units are available in PHP or RSS. This means the search engines can read the content.
  • You can customise the descriptions of each individual product. This prevents any duplicate content issues.
  • You can brand the units with your logo.
  • You can mask the URLS. Instead of the units showing “easycontentunits.com” when hovering over links, they can show “yourdomain.com”
  • You can integrate Google Analytics.
  • You can add your own merchants. If you work with an indie program who have a feed, you can add them into ECU.
  • You get advanced stats reporting on your units
  • And lots more.. There are around 25 Pro features, and we are always working on more – if there’s anything you’d like to see, just let us know!
  • ECU Pro usually costs £19.99+vat per month, however if you join via the button below you can try it out for just £1. Yup, the full version of ECU Pro, for a whole month, for the princely sum of a quid (including vat). This is a strictly limited offer for the first anniversary of Easy Content Units, and will expire at midnight on the 1st February 2010.

    Sorry, this offer has now ended. However, please click here if you would like further information about ECU Pro.

      Congratulations on the first year! ECU has made such a massive impact over the last year and I can’t imagine affiliate life without it now, definitely a must have tool and I think the success of niche sites shared on A4U over the last year that feature it show how much of an impact it has made.

      Congratulations! That year has gone quick hans’t it! ECU makes my life building sites so much easier without having to worry about finding and adding products and prices from so many merchants, a godsend if you like :)

      Cheers Darren – It’s certainly flown by, although in many ways I can’t believe it’s *only* a year!

      looks interesting – i’m going to have a play with the free version, and see if can make 100 quid a month from it i think! could be a very useful tool to use instead of say adwords.

      Thankfully I’ve only been into Internet marketing for a year so have always had ECU around. Must have been a hard slog without it!

      Well done Team ECU.
