Well, for starters, add it to your signature on boards so affiliates even know it's there. I agree with what's been suggested though. Run it for a while, promote it yourself, check your ratios, improve your tour until you get good enough ratios. Only then get affiliates.
And I second what UW said about spelling and punctuation. IMO, forums are not chat rooms and it comes across as more respectful to try and make the extra effort
