I've had a website up for about 2 years, and it's going nowhere. I need help!

The website is BallroomDancersWorld.com , and it's designed to serve the Ballroom Dance industry. I've tried to design it with solid content, along with affiliate links to Amazon.
* I've written many articles and posts that are interesting
* I've put up event schedules from other websites and organizations
* I've linked to YouTube videos

I'm just not getting any significant traffic.

Can you people help me by reviewing the website and providing feedback? Is my content bad? Does my SEO suck? I've simply thrashed through everything i can think of and don't know which way to go.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks, and Merry Christmas

    You need to advertise it somewhere... None of what you did is a way to get people to find it.

    Your site looks alright. And you got some good content. But it is not the best content, I would say.

    I have checked out your blog posts, and they are very short and they don't really seem to deliver some good value to your niche's audience.

    One of the best traffic sources for your site, will be the Search Engines. Especially in your niche. The competition is probably low and you can rank for long tail keywords very easily.

    You just need to learn the right SEO information and the right knowledge about Blogging.

    You need to publish better content than what you have been sharing so far, in order to rank more in the search engines. Learn more about you niche, and the type of content people are actually really looking for.

    Remember, in order to get the search engines to even consider ranking you high, and sending you some good organic traffic, you must over-deliver to their users.

    What is the search engine's main priority?

    Their Users!!

    So, they are the ones you need to take good care of!

    Of course, you want to do the right On-Page SEO, and just a little bit of Off-Page SEO. Just always keep your targeted visitor in mind.

    So Search Engine Optimization is one of the best ways to build up some free organic traffic to your site here.

    You can also learn more internet marketing strategies, and take a lot of consistent action with them. Here are a few you can learn more about and implement; article marketing, video marketing, social media marketing, content marketing, guest posting, blog commenting, etc.

    There are many ways for you to build up the daily traffic flow to your site. You just need to take a lot of very consistent action!

    Invest in the right knowledge, and make it happen!

    Keep up the great work!!

    I have gone through your website & blog.

    As per blog, its not good content, hardly 300 words which is not worthy to get clicks. Why you're writing about MP3 downloads in your blog?

    Write something related and extraordinary stuff about dancing, and do share article into FB, Twitter, reddit, stumbleupon etc.,

    Mark, regarding on your written articles and posts that are interesting is not enough and even event schedules from other websites and organizations. Try to focus on your target audience analyze their behavior within the active online communities so that you can have a creative features to offer from your site then reach them in different mediums available in the web.
