Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I have done article submission, blogs, etc. I realize my site is new but I also know good SEO can get the newest sites on top of search engine lists. Right now my main issue is getting quality backlinks and I just can’t seem to figure out how to do it properly. I don’t want junk links to link exchanges are NOT what I want.. I have asked personally to some of the top ranking webmasters in my niche and none of them will link. Please help me?? My niche is art, more specific is hand drawn portraits and my site is http://www.portraitsbysamantha.com . Thanks so much!

So I’m trying to get a VIP account on BidTraffic but lately they are not giving away VIP accounts so easily anymore and they ask me these questions and I don’t know how to answer or what do they even mean. Help please.
How would you answer them?
We accept only SEO traffic(not from social networks, twitter, youtube, etc).
Please describe sources of your SEO traffic in the following form:
1. search engine
2. search request
3. your source in search results
P.S. Also please tell us about the niche of your traffic.

Will search engines like this? Or will my articles end up at the bottom of search engine pages?
Your thoughts please.

I want to engage several affiliate programs online at the rate of one per week and I was thinking which of these would be “cheaper and effective with regards to Organic Search engine optimization ONLY”
www.xxxxx.com for each affiliate program (seperate domain for each affiliate program)
or
www.xxxxx.com/affiliate1 (and so on for affiliate 2…)
or
www.affiliate1.xxxxx.com (one domain for all affiliate but they will sit on different subdomains)
Thanks a lot.
