My Top blog posts for October 2012

By
Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

I just got a chance to go back and look at my top posts for October.  This is a good way to see what is working/what isn't as well as to provide a bit of extra link juice for the top posts.  Many of these were featured, so that has boosted the short term clicks.  But, they are also versions of what I have posted on my own site that tend to get the most traffice (without the help of features...just plain good content and SEO optimized).  So here goes.

 

red oak hardwood flooring in Westchester NYRed oak vs White Oak hardwood. What's the difference? Katonah NY  This is a local version for my #1 post on my Wordpress site.  I customized it for one of my priority towns where I tend to do well.

 

Ecofriendly Flooring Trends for Westchester NY  Green is in baby.  Here's where you can learn about how to choose great floors that are also good for the environment.

 

My top 3 posts keep growing - more clicks and more calls - In this post, I highlighted my top 3 blog post on my wordpress site.  These are long tail searches for common questions my customers have.  Apparently, a lot of people across the country have the same questions.

 

Hardwood floor refinishing in Katonah NY  This is a modified version of my county post again for this high priority town.  It basically has everything you ever wanted to know about refinishing in there w/ links to other posts that have more in depth info.

 

Radiant heat floors | Bedford NY 10506|Luxurious comfort for your feet  As the weather is getting colder, the desire for warmer floors comes up again and agein, especially if you have tile floors.

 

Trends for Carpet runners in Westchester NY - We've been getting more and more requests for runners, especially as the trend for hardwood continues.  As we often rip up the carpets and refinish the whole home (including the steps), many in Westchester prefer to add a runner for the steps - the one place where hardwood lovers really want carpet.
