I’ve been incredibly productive the past week and am feeling really good about things.  After my forced remake of playwithyourmind.com I decided to undertake a planned redesign of freeonlinetypinggames.com in preparation for the new school year (much of my traffic for that site is school-related), which I have more-or-less completed.  The site pretty much uses the same theme as playwithyourmind.com which allows me to reuse much of the code and will allow me me to maintain them both more easily in the future.  Anyway my efforts had an immediate effect as my ad revenue from both sites has gone up considerably in the past few days – it’s always nice when my work pays dividends so quickly.  I will continue to make updates and additions to The Keyboard Playground in the coming weeks as I attempt to further ascend the search engine standings (view my latest rankings).  At this point, so close to the top, each rung I can climb that latter should make a significant difference in my profits.

Meanwhile, I have also released two new games, Broken Mouse and Spaztik.  Broken Mouse is a ressurection of an old game that wasn’t working so well and Spaztik is a variation on one of the levels in BM.  The first time around BM received some good reviews and attention so I am hoping for more of the same this time through.  As soon as I finish this post I will be working on a new typing game which I  hope to release on both sites tomorrow.

Lastly, I initiated a new series on playwithyourmind.com on ‘Brain Fitness Tips’.  Hopefully, this will be a valuable resource for my readers and will also gain me some respect from Google for brain fitness search terms. I’ve been making some good progress on my playwithyourmind.com SEO (see rankings) and plan to build on that momentum.
