Dress up games for little girls and boys!

Dress up games for little girls and boys!
My new page featuring dress up games is now up and running. It's been hard work finding sites that don't have distracting ads flashing and popping up at annoying intervals - or ones that don't have teen chat rooms and so on. I'm voting for the Mr. Men site as the cutest!

Free Printable Baby Shower Games

Free Printable Baby Shower Games
Ok, I'm blogging this page again because I am running an experiment.

A few days ago I changed the title and keyword of this page so that the words "Free Printable Baby Shower Games" had capital letters at the start of each word. I did this because a keyword search at Wordtracker had this as a much higher rated keyword than without the caps.

My ranking at Google and Yahoo for this page really increased. Google had me in the thirties or forties for this page, and then it got into the top ten. Yahoo had me at around 38 and then it rose to #3!

Then I edited the page, made the headline slightly bigger and changed the content around a bit. I also took the caps off the headline.

A day later my traffic dropped. Yahoo now has me at 43, and Google at 52. So the caps have gone back on, despite the fact that it doesn't quite match the look for the rest of the pages. Now I am waiting to see what happens next. So a little blog of the page certainly won't harm the process.

Free Printable Baby Shower Games

The radical rehaul of my free printable baby shower games is finally underway! I have completely revised the look of the three games currently on offer, and am now working hard on producing some more baby shower games that are free for you to print!

It has taken quite some time to sort out using Word and Acrobat together, and then getting back into the groove of uploading it succesfully.

The page itself is also ready for some editing, and I will be putting a link to Adobe Reader and file size info for each download too.

Update

Just keeping things rolling along on the site. Traffic steady, pageloads steady.

Just about edited all the pages, taking out the graphics and adding a bit more navigational capability. Menus at the bottom and Go to Top links for some of the games pages.

The babyshower games pdfs are a real headache. I create them in Word then have to "distill" (a bit like whisky) it into Acrobat. Some of the tables and formatting is not coming out as it should and I can't understand why. I have sent one over to my brother to distill, and his turned out fine of course! So I think I may have to beg him to spend a few minutes on that for me.

The funny thing is that Google has now picked up my pdf files, which is interesting - I was just about to put a link to them from this blog, but they got there before me for a change!

I will also have to put a link and graphic to Adobe Reader so that people know they need that in order to download the files.

It would have been nice to have put some Easter stuff on the page, but I want to create a section all about holiday games, and I'm just not ready yet.

Also wondering when sbi are going to put blogging on the site. I'm wondering about having a blog just for online games links, so that I can add/chop/blogthis!/add blogrolling etc so that people have a bit more of a surfing choice. On the other hand, it might mean visitors zooming off and reading my blog and surfing from there when I want them going to my site. However, it might also mean they bookmark the site AND the blog and come back for more now they know where I am.

What's the phrase... give 'em what they want. So what do I call the blog then? I don't want to do it via this blog as this is more about the site building aspect.

I shall ponder this evening. Blog - or a newspage - or all on a newsletter - or both - or all...

Little Kids Games Online! Kids Games Online, Party Games, Baby Games and More

The site has a new look! Thank you Renee!

I have a bit of work to do on removing some images and getting headline/link presentation uniform across the site. Today I tackled the online kids games section, and boy oh boy was there a lot to tidy up there.

So do excuse a little "chewed around the edges" - ness on the site. Hope to finish over the weekend.

The baby games pages are going to take a lot of work, as there are a lot of titles and headlines. It's going to be worth it though.

I am working on those new free printable baby shower games by the way - I've had a few problems with my Acrobat distiller. I'm cleaning up the look of these printables, too, making them clearer but a little more stylish. In my opinion of course!

Good visitor numbers today - I think they like the look too :)
