Wii Games - My Kids' Web site

I've helped my kids start a Web site - they actually have a lot of input although I do most of the technical bits and ghostwriting.

Jamie, 9, Amelia, 6, and Stacie, 5, have a new Nintendo Wii.  They are pretty excited.

So we started a Web site on Wii game reviews. We've gone through some keyword research together using the Google Keyword Research Tool, and are writing some reviews using long tail keywords.

For example, 1300 people a month Google "Wii Active Life Outdoor Challenge" (exact match, meaning they type in exactly that phrase). Yet there are only 921 pages that have that exact phrase (found by Googling the phrase in quotes - Google tells you how matches there are).

Now of those 921 pages that use that phrase, how many do you think concentrate, i.e. are optimized for, exactly that phrase? Probably very very few -- we didn't research further. Instead we threw up a quick yet hopefully useful review, using both personal experience and that of others to add more value (i.e. we read about 150 other reviews online).

I'm betting we snag some of those 1300 searches a month.

We've added Google AdSense, and may add a few other potential moneymakers like Amazon Affiliate links and ClickBank ebooks. My kids will get to buy new games with any proceeds, and if it's a total flop, I'm sure we'll still make enough after expenses to buy 2-3 games minimum.

What did it cost, other than time? Well, I bought OurWiiGames.com for US$2.19 from a domain name sale at GoDaddy this week, normal price about $10.00, and I already have several hosting accounts so that was a non-issue (it's hosted on BlueHost which I recommend - cheap and good).

Now instead of wondering what I'm doing on the computer all day, well, they have an idea now.

PS: My 6 year old wanted it to be a blog, but quite honestly, her writing weekly might just be a bit too much extra work for me :) (she does write well, and may probably be blogging within a year or two)

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
