Games
The puzzle games we kept playing this month
By the editors · 6 min read
For short commutes our pick is Harbor Blocks Paid link, a block puzzle from Tidewater Games that gets properly hard around level 25.
Second place goes to a slower game with a better soundtrack, and a pause button that works.
How we picked
We played each game for a week on the way to work, on one bar of signal, with the sound off.

One tracking link per offer. Put a unique ID for each reader in sub_id (your link tool or a small script makes one, never one fixed value), tag the article in sub1 and put a disclosure next to the link.

The puzzle games we kept playing this month

For short commutes our pick is Harbor Blocks Paid link, a block puzzle from Tidewater Games that gets properly hard around level 25. It saves your place mid-level, which matters on a train.
Third place went to a game we liked less than we expected, and we'll say why in next month's update.
Money
Every offer on your list comes with how it pays and what it pays you, in dollars. No rewards for readers.
Pay shapes that fit
An example shortlist
Tracking and money
One conversion, in order: your user's tap, our click record, the advertiser's confirmation, then a signed postback to your server.
Every tap is recorded with your user's ID and up to ten of your own values, sub1 to sub10.
How clicks are trackedEach one carries an HMAC-SHA256 verifier made with your secret. Without a secret, we don't send.
How postbacks workSuspect installs are held, unpaid, until reviewed. Traffic Quality lists the users we reject, with the reason.
How fraud checks workTrace any conversion from tap to your server, or download every conversion as a CSV.
How reporting worksBefore you start
What's allowed, what's yours to handle and where we say no.
Rewards for the click. Readers can't be paid or given points for signing up.
A disclosure next to each link, such as "Paid link". The FTC's endorsement guides expect it.
New placements, such as an email or a paid ad, need approval for that offer first.

Questions
Something else? Write to hello@affiliateos.ai and we reply by email.
Most offers we carry are bought for rewarded traffic. Content traffic is approved offer by offer, so your list holds only the ones that allow it.
Our team posts them in your Slack channel, with a tracking link for each.
Get an email when an offer you run changes its payout or stops running. Each person on your team sets up their own under Email alerts in the portal. New clicks on a stopped offer don't pay, so ask in your channel for a replacement link.
Yes. Add your own values in sub1 to sub10, such as the article slug. They come back on the postback for each conversion, matched by sub_id, so keep sub_id unique per reader.
No. We send links, not widgets. They work in any CMS.
