How to set up a really good affiliate program

[Ramster]

Useless gave you some very good advice.

Bottom line to get affiliates you need to either know people or stand out. You need a site that will rock them, that will make them say wow this new site is nice I'm gonna try it. Otherwise your site is just another site like others they promote so why bother is the attitude of many webmasters. Their links are already set up to 50 other sites/programs.

So my advice would be to change the tour then to buy banner ads and gallery spots on selected TGPs for more exposure. Exposure brings in affiliates if the site looks hot and is something they'd like to promote.
