Affiliate Marketing Secrets

i have a website call http://www.goofblogger.com and i want to get it rank high so i thing i may need some strong back links where can i get some?
my niche is Affiliate Marketing

I’m developing a niche site that should have lots of repeat visitors. (They create a free account.)
The target subscribers will be very scattered around the world but united by acommon interest.
What’s the best way to sell adspace?

I’m in the process of building a unique website that should attract a good number of repeat visitors in a niche market. I personally think most ads are sooo annoying. But then I want to make money too.
The website will offer an ongoing service and develop a semiloyal following who will hopefully refer their friends. So I could charge for subscriptions or sell adspace or both.
For simplicity sake it seems the best bet would be subscriptions, but then I would lose so many people who are looking for a freebie. I would retain some paying customers though.
I wouldn’t know where to begin by making money with ads, but then everybody would run to my site because it was free. What do you guys think? Should I offer free accounts with ads and paid accounts without ads?

Okay so I work for some programmers working on a website, not sure if I should post it but I will. Its called rufflesraffles.com. Its a great system and so far we have had almost 5,000 hits and already sent out prizes we hoped that winners would spread the word but it seems like they just keep it a secret. I am part of the marketing team and I have searched for a million and a half ways to increase traffic with no luck. We have a meeting with some investors and advertisers next week and we are supposed to have a substantially increasing public…I have five accounts on Facebook and I have had no luck there I post have naked women on YouTube and get like a million hits but noone visits the website on the girls boob and I have even tried selling stuff on craigslist all over the country stating I won it on ruffles Raffles. I am tired and out of ideas! I have tried mass email marketing which sucks because it usually just gets filtered into spam folder I have even tried paying for Google ads its just the benefits don’t outweigh the harm(costs $1.25 per click on the ad and raffle entries cost $1 and some are free but make us a dollar so we wold lose $.25 advertising with Google, same story with Facebook a little less with MySpace but MySpace is dead for what they charge). I want someone to offer help, legitimate ideas, I am begging you, I could potentially loose my job :-/ please don’t answer it takes time…please don’t…I know its true but not true too, I created a blog about hacking a PSP a while back when I was in high-school, its been 3 years and that website has only had 1,390 visitors half of which were probably me.

then please list:
1) how much $$ amount is roughly made / month
2) which affiliates offer the best payout
3) (if you have a site) how much traffic do you get roughly and what type of site you have
most informative answer wins!!! TY
