I have a website I built that is an affiliate to an online poker site (Mansion Poker). I put a lot of time into it and the deals I offer on the website are actually better than most of the bigger sites on the internet. The problem is I have zero traffic, which means zero sign-ups using my "bonus code." I've seen sites that look like scams, but they promise they'll get you so many people to pay and sign-up using your link/bonus code if you pay them a certain amount. Anyone know any safe, scam-proof ways to go about this? Thanks!

You may want to consider using a third party affiliate network such as zanox.com or floppybank.com to drive traffic to your site.
Don't use sites that promise to drive visitors for a fee. Use legit firms. Not sure how big your budget is. You can try google adwords, but can be costly if you don't know what your are doing.
Zanox.com does have a product called Zanox Search.. they offer keword marking, such as adwords but you only pay if a sale is made. They have certified google professionals to manage your adwork campaigns, etc..
If you don't have a budget, consider floppybank.com as they have no set-up free and you only have to depost $100 to pay affiliates. You set up a PPS (pay per sale) program. So you only pay affiliate and the network if a sale is made. These networks usually have thousands of affiliates in your network and you might be suprised at the performance of some of the affiliates.
These networks usually give you the option to approve/reject affiliate appllications to your program so you can keep control of who is marketing your site.
A word of advice. Before you partner with any network make sure your site can handle a large amount of traffice in a short amount of time. Also, have digital creatives such as banner ads, buttons, email creative, etc... ready to go prior to launch of your affiliate program. A good affiliate program usually takes a few months to get going, but can be very lucrative if managed properly.
Hope this helps,
