Congrats.

I thought programmer was above affiliate manager
it seems to be the other way around.

If someone asked me, I'd have said the same, but well, who cares?

congrats StuartD :thumbsup

congrats :)

congrats dude :)

Same here, but i presume Stuart took upon the affliate manager role along with programming, so he's doing 2 things now, which is an improvement and i'd consider it moving up in the company.

Plus, i'm actually glad someone took a programmer as an affiliate manager as Stuart will be able to implement what affiliates need alot more easilly, and tell them what's feasable, whats' not, and hear directly from affiliates what they want (regarding tools etc). Especially since he built the new atkcash backend.

EDIT:
Someone please remove the auth prompt from maxcash banner/picture whatever.

Exactly. An affiliate manager usually just turns to the programmer to ask for tools to be built and fixed and changed. The programmer answers to the managers of the company doing what they wish/need.

As the affiliate manager and programmer, I have a unique position of being able to build and do what I want. This means added flexibility not just for myself but for our affiliates as well. If an affiliate comes to me with an idea to change the very core of the entire program that would benefit everyone, I can do it!

I've spent a lot of time in this industry and have said a lot of times "why don't programs do this" and "it would be so much better if this worked like this" and as both the manager and the programmer, I am lucky enough to make these things happen.

Also as affiliate manager, I get to work with the designers, 3rd party services and programs and of course, the affiliates. This gives me a lot more responsibility as well as added control as I can work more closely with them to ensure our program looks and behaves exactly how I want it to.

How many times have you all promoted a program and wished you could talk directly to the people who actually make things happen and change immediately, rather than going through someone who will have to ask their programmers if it's possible? Or had requests that you didn't even bother asking because you knew the affiliate manager wouldn't give you an answer anyway?

Whether a step up or not, this puts me as programmer and you as the affiliate in a unique position.. an advantage.

congrats, stuart! :)

"promoted" from programmer to affiliate manager?

Does that mean his programming skills sucked?

Congratulations!!!

Yes, I wrote the atkcash back end and am still doing programming so that means I suck.
Thank you for clarifying that.

Grats Stuart! ATKcash has some great people running the show!

yaaaaay for ATK

well this is a new way of making your own promotion then.
Can only say " well done!! " about this

So congrats

Ehhhh can you approve my ATK program webmaster application. Let me see if you are really that good

Congrats with the promotion StuartD :thumbsup

good luck with your new job

Certainly, can you email me (stuart @ atkcash.com) or icq me (563-6347) with your username/id and I'll get you hooked up.

Err is everything thinking of Affiliate Rep as opposed to Affiliate Manager? Since when is a Programmer higher on the totem pole then Manager? Maybe when he has a title like CTO or something. hmmm

Congrats Stu, glad to hear your doing well

and I still owe you a big favor*






*favor excludes all forms of sexual activities

People need to be more concerned about whether the job is getting done rather than the title of the person doing it. Titles are overrated.

Bottom line; StuartD is going to get the job done. Period.

Uhhh congrats I guess.

9 years in this business you say? And you're still working for someone else? Dare to be mediocre, big guy.

Well, as usual half of GFY has their heads in the their asses and doesn't see how there's a HUGE difference in those titles.

Congrats stuart :) I'm sure you'll bring HUGE things to ATK. Nice to finally see you working for a company that appreciates your vast knowledge and experience :)

get a haircut hippy! :2 cents:

I'd like to congratulate Stuart and ATKCash !!
