Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think you're jumping the gun a bit pushing an affiliate program at this point. I see this all the time. Put up a web site, and just a short time later launch an affiliate program.
I specialize in promoting single girl amateur sites, and many of the things I look for in affiliate program sites, you don't have because your site simply hasn't been around long enough.
Since your 50% recurring revshare, like most solo amateur sites, I want to know that the site is going to retain members. That means alot of member area content, something that can't be built up in just a few months.
I want to know that my traffic is going to a tour that has been well tested, tweaked and fined tuned, so that it converts well. This is something that takes some time and some trial and error.
My advice is to spend your time and energy fine tuning your tour, building member area, content, and take time to join some other affiliate programs to get an idea of what you should be offering. For example, I don't want to have to contact the webmaster to get access to promo content. Access should be sent as soon as I've signed up, with perhaps a short delay for verification. The more organized the content the better. Make it easy to find hosted galleries (with affiliate codes already inserted), downloadable zips, banners of assorted sizes, etc. The less time I have to spend getting the promo materials, the more time I can spend promoting your site.
An affiliate program can be very lucrative, but there's alot more to it than just putting up a signup page and providing a handful of promo galleries.
