Demons Lounge – Affiliate Marketing Blog!

I have actually wanted to review this product for a number of months but for whatever reason it has always been put on the back burner. I am not being paid for this review and the product has no current affiliate program so you can be 100% assured that the review is of a genuine nature.

I have never been very good with code (whether html, php, or any of the others that i cant name but am sure exist), but have always wanted to learn how to use data feeds to create online affiliate stores. For those of you relatively new to affiliate marketing i will give a brief description of what data feeds are:

Data Feeds are essentially a feed from an online retailer that enables you to display products on your affiliate site. They are 100% self updating so when price changes occur they will also occur on your site. To effectively implement data feeds involves many hours of coding and styling so that the data feed products do not look out of place on your website.

When i began researching data feeds in the hope that i could learn to implement them on my websites i became very aware very quickly that this was never going to be possible, so i turned to looking for tools that could basically do this for me. Although at this time there were a number of tools claiming to be able to do what i was looking for on closer inspection it was obvious that the look, feel & functionality was never going to be such that i could compete with affiliates who were adept to using data feeds never mind the merchant themselves. I realized there was no product to help me and turned my attentions to other (non storefront) affiliate ambitions.

I have always been a reader of good affiliate marketing blogs and especially a number of great UK blogs (see my blogroll for more information) and one day quite to my amazement a post was made regarding Easy Content Units. I was excited but fully aware that they would probably not be to the standard i was hoping for. They were!

I immediately purchased their professional version costing £19.99 + VAT per month and have never looked back. The units look great and can be customized without knowing one </b> of code, they also provide virtually every feed from every network (worth their salt) in the UK and will soon be launching a US version too.

So lets have a look at what the units can look like (and do look like on many of my sites):



As you can see they are exceptional and the support provided by Jason & John (Lammo) is second to none. The ECU units are also constantly evolving with new features being added all the time.

ECU offer a free version of their units with an 80/20 split (for every 10 clicks your affiliate links receive ECU will take 2 at random).

I decided to immediately take advantage of the paid version for a number of reasons but mostly because of the fact that you can add these to your WordPress websites in PHP which means they are readable by search engines and because product descriptions can easily be rewritten from within your ECU members page meaning you can avoid any nasty duplicate content penalties and in most cases get a jump on your competitors (even those using home coded data feeds).

In conclusion this is a product that i cannot recommend highly enough and if you are only ever to buy one affiliate product / tool in your lifetime make sure it is this one.
