If your site has broken links, not setup for visa yet, a non optimized signup page, etc... your conversions wont be good, and niether will your affiliates. They will stop promoting and likely never give you a second chance. I see you say "its a work in progess" "you are still testing, lot of stuff to do"... great, but do it with your own traffic. Most affiliates will not appreciate their traffic being the guinea pig. Square it all away, tweak your pages, work it with your own traffic for 3-6 months till you know what works best, then go after your affiliates. You have a much better chance of keeping them that way and not pissing them off.
