So go back and tweak yours to be SEO-friendly, using the Yoast tips on your wordpress backend. Update with new, more relevant best-practice links, then re-send it out multiple times on twitter and fb, using relevant hashtags, so the right people will find you, to get more traction.

This means more views, which means the opportunity for more sales.
