My Top Blog Posts for January 2012

It's always fun to look back at the previous month to see which posts rose to the top. These are sorted based on clicks. This month has less clicks than usual as I had so many members only posts (due to our recent contest). The other aspect is that I've been so unbelievably busy with my business, that's been challenging to find the time to write some quality flooring posts. Ironically, my blogging is making me busy...and too busy to blog.

So, I'm trying to find some ways to blog efficiently again (yes, I will be doing some more templated posts) and soon I hope to do some more educational posts. I'm also working on my wordpress site and starting to do some guest blogging, so there is only so much I can do, and I certainly need ot prioritize.

The good news is that while the hits on my Active Rain posts were not stellar in January, the hits to my websites are, and ultimately, that is more important. My website traffic for my main site is up +42% vs. December and DOUBLE what it was last January. Now, I have my new The Flooring Girl website and that is just starting to take off. When I combine the hits of the 2 websites, I'm TRIPLE the number I had last January. There is still lots of upside, too.

Here are the top one for the month of January. The first 3 were featured; the 4th one on red oak vs. white oak is more educational on the flooring business, so I hope over time, this gets the most traffic.
