I can think of Laura Lee, Rochard, Dwreck, Mark at Naughty America and a few others.

What makes a manager stick to 1 company? Do you think it's overall loyalty, the lack of other offers, a solid agreement between the quality affiliate managers or other factors.

Also, what do you think is making the turnover ratio so high with these managers? Companies going through their contact lists quickly, lack of skills outside of board marketing, lack of pay, etc?

Furthermore, do you even pay attention to announcements from new affiliate managers after the've been at more than 3 or 4 companies in a 6 month period?
I wasn't an affilaite manager at Lightspeed Cash or even Martketing, although of course I helped out where needed. At the same time, Sweetums has been with LSC for what - nearly three years now?

I did five years at LSC as the Cheif Operations Officer, and I hope to do another five years here working for Lensman and Playboy.

But I understand your point - I hate it when people move around so often.
