There's no easy solution to buy bitcoins and that's why bitcoins won't be used that much. And is it possible to give credit to affiliates when accepting bitcoins?
There are other exchanges other than Mt.Gox

For example - https://localbitcoins.com - You can meet people who are selling them in your area and pay by cash or bank transfer if buying through the website.
