Cake, Chili, Carbon,and Red Star Poker bonus

[justaPlayer]

I actually have several questions regarding rakeback and bonuses, a couple of which apply to Cake, so I'll just ask here. First of all, I don't really even know how to "get" rakeback, i.e. what is actually involved-- I know you have to go through an affiliate, but I don't really even know what that means. I am a serious player and I will be getting a lot more serious in the next year, so can somebody run down the actual process for me? That would be really cool and I'd appreciate it, along with maybe recommending a good affiliate to go with. Also, a lot of the sites I am planning on playing and getting RB with also have initial deposit bonuses, and I am wondering if having a rakeback acct. interferes with new players' eligibility for bonuses (cake in particular). If anybody can give me some credible answers to these, I'd appreciate it. Sorry to be such a uninformed tardish noob.
