I am not sure what to tell you because I don't know what your approach has been to attracting new affiliates. However, It may be well for you to go back to the marketing area and study all of the information on the marketing tools that have been put in place. Start with the Beginner Marketing Aids. Try the advertising co-ops. S-Builder is a good place to start. There are also some very good co-ops at TripleClicks that you can join. When you join them, create a co-op with the Co-Op Manager and use that tool to the fullest extent possible. Then begin to use the eCards and gift cards and the other tools that are available, like banners, shirts, mugs, mouse pads, car signs, text ads in your email signature, etc.
The point is that you have to use a number of tools to advertise your business, because you never know which one will work best. It's just like planting seeds. You have to plant many seeds, and you have to plant more than one kind of seed. The reason is that you don't know which ones will grow or how the harvest will turn out. Just remember to stay the course.
Even animals have to be patient. Eggs are often crushed or do not hatch for many reasons. The young ones are often captured and killed. The animals often have to reproduce in large numbers because of these challenges. It's the same with advertising.
