    Hello admin, i found this post on 24 spot in google’s search results.
    I’m sure that your low rankings are caused by hi bounce rate.
    This is very important ranking factor. One of the biggest reason for high bounce rate is due to visitors hitting the back button. The higher your bounce
    rate the further down the search results your posts
    and pages will end up, so having reasonably low bounce rate is important for increasing
    your rankings naturally. There is very useful wordpress plugin which can help you.
    Just search in google for:
    Seyiny’s Bounce Plugin
