SAN FRANCISCO – eLine.com, the parent company of Gamelink and other brands, has appointed Daniel “DannyZ” Kaufman manager of business development.

Among other things, the new position means Kaufman will reduce his involvement in the day-to-day operations of the adult affiliate programs and membership websites he owns, including zBUCKz and GlamourBuckz, in order to focus on managing special projects for eLine’s brands and websites.

“After 10 years living abroad in Asia and running my own successful affiliate programs, I came back to the U.S. searching for new opportunities and challenges,” Kaufman said. “eLine.com is a company I have worked with for many years, and one of the true pioneers. I am very excited to join the team, and you can expect some awesome announcements for webmasters and affiliates coming from us in 2014.”

Kaufman started his adult career in 1998 at Liberation Publications, publishers of Men, Freshmen, and Unzipped magazines. Once the internet took off, he moved to age-verification site Adult Check as business development manager before founding his own company, Panorama Pacific Ltd., and launching award-winning pay sites in 2003.

“I have known DannyZ for many years and am very thrilled to have him join our team,” said eLine Vice President of Business Development Jeff Dillon. “We have a lot of exciting projects in 2014, and I am honored to have Danny spearheading some of these efforts.”

Founded in 1993, eLine takes a self-described “maverick approach” to emerging environments on the World Wide Web, blending ecommerce, community and rich-content systems for clients including AlterNet, AT&T, CBS MarketWatch, Good Vibrations, IDG Books Worldwide, the Ministry of Education of the Netherlands and the University of San Francisco.
