My Top Blog Posts for April 2012

By
Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

Dark hardwood flooring westchester NYWell April has been an extremely busy and productive month more me...one of best yet!  Somehow, I've also managed to get in a few blogs, with many of them local.  The local ones get less hits...but often higher quality hits.  I've been getting more and more phoned calls by people finding our large web footprint...from Active Rain, TheFlooringGirl.com and my original corportate website. 

One of the things that is interesting is that many of my customers have been to at least 2 of these locations and many are calling me The Flooring Girl and even referencing specific blog posts while I'm on the appointment.

....well now onto the top Active Rain blog posts for the month...sorted by number of CLICKS.

Is it better to have Carpet or hardwood flooring in your bedroom? It was nice to see how the comments reflected the point I was making in the post...different customers have different preferences on this topic and there are no wrong answers.  LOL, the best answer was "whatever my wife wants."  This is one smare husband!

Pinterest has piqued my Interest! - This is my new found obsession.  Well, that's exaggerating.  It is fun...and importantly quick and has generated some more backlinks to my site which in the long run should help my sites.

Refinishing hardwood floors | South Salem NY 10590 | Dustless sanding - This is an example of one of my local flooring posts.  This is a template I used for each town and I have to say it works incredibly well for me and helps me rise to the top for refinishing hardwood town XYZ and dustless refinishing town XYZ.  I think it is also helping me w/ the county and the base page it links to on my website.  We have been getting more and more calls for refinishing and for dustless refinishing, so this is a good thing.

"Working Girl" turns into "The Flooring Girl" - This was my entry for Roger Mucci's April contest.  Don't let the title throw you.
