Amazing!
Awesome, we're currently in the middle of putting something like this together on a bigger and more organized scale. COMING SOON 
What do you guys think of a target source like reddit for browser/download games? I know they don't have the best targeting, but maybe they users convert better on there?
What's their minimum? I would just test and don't tell anyone if it works well ;D
Their min is $5.00, and they charge around 70 cents per 1,000 impressions. I guess I'll test it out this weekend, and see for myself.

However, check their terms carefully. I seem to recall they prohibit redirects., which will make your tracking considerably more of a pain in the arse.
I remember i read a while ago there was some scandal on /r/trees (stoner subreddit) where some mod had used affiliate links in the ads and posts promoting weed related products (bongs, pipes etc). Everybody lost their shit! Also read some AMA-thread there with an affiliate marketer and he got downvoted to hell :<
I'd be careful pushing scammy stuff on reddit, but i can imagine Teespring campaigns targeted to relevant subreddits could do well.
I've seen other IAMAs with affiliates that got some significant upvotes, so it all depends.
But yeah, I would be very careful promoting anything even vaguely blackhat. Games, T-Shirts, stuff like that - don't get any shadier.
Yes, Reddit users are in general likely to be much more cynical and savvy that the average, so advertising dodgy things will probably get called out.
They may even make a sub-reddit for 'Ads we don't like' and rant in there.

To be honest, it's still quite a bit away. We're trying to do something better than just a text list. Something that will cater to the ever changing affiliate/traffic landscape. I can't give any times on it yet.
