Where I've Been, Where I'm Going, and a Cry for Help

Where I've Been
Hello WA community. I've been gone for a while. Whether or not you know who I am my absence is pretty evident from the lack of recent posts on my website (blazingfastpc.com). That obviously begs the question of where I've been. Well I've been absent for a while for a couple reasons.
First off, I was becoming pretty frustrated with my affiliate marketing adventure awhile back. I'd had my site going for 7 months with absolutely no results. I had been working my butt off and yet I didn't have any search traffic, any first page rankings, and any sales (except for one cheap sale from an unidentified source. Maybe someone here pitying me.) I was beginning to feel like I've tried everything. It became hard to find motivation when I couldn't see any real progress. It also became harder to find topics to write about and the lack of motivation didn't help alleviate that.
I'm also a high school student and the life of a high school student is a busy one. Between school, homework, and extracurricular activities there's just not enough hours in the day. This is especially true if I want to have any sort of social life (which I do). It's certainly not easy.

Despite all of this, I'm going to be getting back into the game. I'm a long distance runner and going for a run often helps me clear my head. Well after I went for a relaxing hour long run today I realized I'm not ready to give up my dream. I'm going to do whatever it takes to make my dream a reality.
I'm going to start making room in my schedule whenever I can to work on my website and get it off the ground. I might be in a frustrating place now, but I know my site has a lot of potential and I know deep down that, regardless of the often confusing situation I'm currently in, I can make it happen.
A Cry for Help
I might have new found motivation, but I'm still in a very frustrating situation right now and it's not something I can work out without any help. That's where all of you, the WA community, come in. There's some simple things you can do to help me get off my feet and I would greatly appreciate it. (You can find my site at http://blazingfastpc.com/)
To Any of You: I would love for you to take a look at my site and give me feedback on my articles. I'll make use of the feedback system, but I often feel like I get only rushed careless reviews from that system. If any of you care enough to give me a really genuine and well thought out review I would really appreciate it.
To Experienced Affiliate Marketers: As I mentioned earlier in this article, I'm having trouble coming up with material for my articles. I've written dozens of posts at this point and although I'm very passionate about my niche and it is fairly broad I feel like I'm grasping for air when it comes time to write something. What do you do when you're having trouble finding something to write about? Any thoughts or tools would be much appreciated. Just leave a comment down below.
To Owners of Authority Sites: MOre than anything else I would love for someone (or a few people) with authority sites to take a look at the SEO of my site. I've been told time and time again that it all looks good and I should see rankings sometime soon, but I simply don't. After 6 months of writing I didn't see a single first page ranking. There must be something holding me back from rankings and I would give an arm and a leg to know what it is.
Thanks so much to this awesome community for everything and thanks in advance for the help. If there's anything I can do for any of you in return just let me know and I'd be glad to do so. Wish me luck with my second go at this!
