I have 4 posts with over 10,000 clicks

By
Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

I was so excited when I saw my Google Analytics today and realized that I now have 4 posts with over 10,000 clicks.  And, I even have 1 post with 20,000 clicks.

 

top flooring articles westchesterOne of the great things about blogging is that your posts have a long shelf life.  These 4 posts keep growing, and in fact many have accelerated.  One of the things I do to give them a minor boost is to link to them from other posts.  This is one example of it, but I do it in many of my posts....feed the strong.

 

BTW, these posts were written about a year ago or so.

 

What's the difference between red oak and white oak flooring? 20,061

Oil based vs water based polyurethane.  15,779

Can you change the color of your hardwood floors? 11,536

How long does it take to refinish hardwood floors?   10,525

 

So, check out your google analytics on your site and see what's working.  And, then link to them to make them even stronger.

Debbie, I know I have been adding to some of those clicks, albeit much too infrequently.  Analytics aside it's great to know an expert in their field and you're it Flooring Girl!  Thank You for the education.

Hi Debbie,

That is a lot of clicks so obviously people are interested in flooring. It is popular with most homeowners and I am sure you are known as an expert in the field. Thanks for sharing and keep those great posts coming.

Jane - Thank you so much.  You are so sweet and that means a lot to me.

Tammie - Yes, that's true.  I think that it helps that I wrote them as questions, similar to how someone might type them into google.

Christine - Thanks so much.  Yes, everything is relative and this is a very simple tip that should be easy to implement.

Gail - Oh my, you are too kind.  Thank you so much.  Most of the q's are inspired by what customers ask me or what you guys ask about in the comments.

Kathy - thank you so much. That also means so much to me. I'm glad you guys are learnng stuff, and I hope it helps you with staging and selling homes better.

Rebecca - Thank you so mich.

I had a flooring guy once tell me that the answer to the question of the last post is about 3 weeks, but nobody wants to take that much time!

Debbie, Those are AWESOME numbers, but it's not hard to see why you get those clicks.  Solid content that answers questions the consumers have.  Glad to see the success you're having, and you have to love the long shelf life of a properly written post.

Jay - LOL...3 weeks.  That's crazy...unless it's a large home w/ tons of furniture so you need to do in 2 stages and wait 4 days in between to shift furniture around.  Usually a week (or less) will suffice.

Bilz - Thx so much.  Yes, the long shelf life is key.  At least a couple of them get more than 2,000 clicks per month.

Debbie our blogs do have a long shelf life as you say.  I got a call yesterday from someone who read a Localism post that I did on a small local hardware store.  The problem was that he was not looking for a Mortgage, but wanted to by an element for his electric stove ....... LOL

Inna - Thank you so much.  You are so kind.

Margaret - thank you!

Debbie - These were all around a year or so ago.  The 20,000 click one was Jan 8th, 2012, so I guess 1 year + 1 month.
