Aaron Gaines is the founder of the web series, The Conscious Show. He also hosts the popular podcast, Mindfulness, which is a great way to get to learn more about mindfulness.
Gaines is an avid video game player and the owner of a home that he has built with his wife, their two daughters, and their cat. So he’s already a bit of an expert in the field of home building and decorating. But he still has the odd question out there.
The title of his latest podcast episode is on the topic of paint colors, and Gaines explains that paint colors have a huge impact on the aesthetic of any home. He goes on to explain that it can make a room look larger, or it can make a room appear smaller. This is, of course, good news for those who want to add a little luxury to their home.
Gaines is one of those people who seems to get a huge kick out of doing research, and it shows here. He spent some time researching paint colors, and he’s not afraid to express opinions. It may seem silly at first, but I have to say that I feel great about the color choices in my new home. I think they look great and I want to make sure to purchase more because I think they’ll make a huge difference.
I think Gaines is right. Paint is one of those things that seems to have homeowners pretty stumped. I think it is because painting your home is one of those things if you get wrong, you can’t really hide it. Paint covers a lot of the surface of your home’s interior and exterior, so it will obviously impact your decor.
Buying or building a new home, you would think would eliminate the paint stress, but it can actually be the very thing that causes it. Among the many decisions that a new homeowner has to make during construction, choosing paint colors can be the most difficult. I know this because I get asked a lot, plus the Google search terms “should I paint my new construction home?” is one of the most frequent ones that lead people to our website. It goes beyond just choosing colors.
Links are one of the three major ranking factors in Google. So if you want your website’s pages to rank high in search, you will almost certainly need links. Google (and other search engines) look at links from other sites as “votes.” These votes help them identify which page on a given topic (out of thousands of similar ones) deserves to be ranking at the very top of the search results.
What does the search results look like when you click on a page? Let’s think about that. For each of the three most important ranking factors (traffic, authority, and relevance) you need to rank in the top three positions. But in the case of your pages, you rank in the top three positions for traffic, authority, and relevance (but not relevance for relevance sake).
The top three ranking factors in search engines are the number of links per page (which is the number of times a page appears on your site), the number of links per click (which is the number of times a clicked link is clicked), and how many people click on it. It turns out that I didn’t need to rank in the first place because I’m not a computer science major, but there’s a lot of information out there to help with that.
