Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I started my own personal Video Gaming & Entertainment blog site called Tauri33 Gamer (http://tauri33gameblog.com) about 6 months ago (the beginning of July 2012). I post as often as I can, but with my full-time job and my family, I mainly am able to maintain this blog on a part-time basis, but would like to be able to work on it full-time. Is there any advice on how I can make my blog more popular? I do get an average of about 200 to 400 views per day, but I don’t seem to get any blog followers. I feel like I am providing quality content and I try very hard to post several posts (somewhere about 2 to 6 per week). I have options available for following the blog by email updates, Twitter, and RSS Feed. Also, is there a way I can make my blog more profitable? I am currently an affiliate partner with such companies such as Amazon.com, Entertainment Earth, Barnes & Noble, GameStop, & Apple iTunes. I also have a Google AdSense account. I have links on my site, but no one seems to be interested in using them. I am hoping to generate revenue with these affiliate links so I can eventually transition my time on maintaining my blog from part-time to full-time. I also would like my blog to become a respected resource of information for the video gaming industry as well as for television & movie news and updates.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I know of a local game shop and the manager says that they take GameStop credit. Is this something that you’ve seen before? It sounds kinds strange to me. Before you ask, no I do not believe the store is affiliated with GameStop at all.
