I can't seem to find my niche. I was shooting for the goth community, but I think I get more business outside that community, however I don't know who to aim my keywords and links to. Judging by the items that I offer, how should I be representing my site? I'm shooting for morbid humor and just random really strange things. I know this can work because the people that I have on my newsletter list (somewhere betwenn 2000 and 3000 now) really enjoy what I offer, I just think that there is a lot more potential if I can reach the right audience.
Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated!

I'd drop words like "metaphysical" in favor of "wacky" "fannish" "eccentric" and perhaps "deviant"! The real goth is going to disdain you as aimed at the Mall Goth market (especially with "hot topic" as keywords), so you could possibly drop a couple more of the pretentious/portentous words like "vampyre" as well. You're at that awkward middle ground between Archie McFee and Hot Topic, and it sounds like the McFee folks are buying your pitch more.
