It's secure as long as affiliates don't loose their edit URL.
Not that secure:
1) web browsers often send HTTP Referer info to the server, so if you follow some link after you use your edit URL, then the owner of the site that link points to will be able to see in logs your edit URL.
2) nothing is secure over HTTP (and i don't have yet SSL certificate signed by CA to make https.. though probably should get one).

MAYBE targeting based on browser language would be better?
Good idea, need to think it over (maybe could be both)

Also allow affiliates to block image ads. That would be really useful and it is offered by most ad networks. (and I miss this feature)
Why do you miss it? If you use image ads, then it is always graphics; if you use JS or IFRAME version, then it is always text.

I hope you find some investor. Maybe you should think about putting anonymous ads on GLBSE? (https://glbse.com/)
Yes, I am thinking about it.

BTW I used your ads in a Chrome extension I made: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fblekdojabihjdhndhmloalbcnnejddl
This couldn't be done with Google Adsense for example. :-D You can't put Adsense in webpages that have no public URL and I had to put it a popup window.
Wow, great app, I like it!

If you know how to create browser extensions in other browsers too, you might be interested in LightRider's idea. Do you think it is possible to implement it so that it works in all major browsers? (if yes - maybe it is worth of creating a separate topic to discuss it).
