\"My<\/a>As most of you know, I have been babysitting my granddaughter this week and it’s really been interesting our subjects of conversations and let me tell you if you would like a cheap site critique – try your kids and grandkids.<\/p>\n

It’s actually been amazing as she has gone thru the sites this week and I was showing her different things as she like grandma’s touch screen – but it sure brought some simple things that I take for granted\u00a0 – well……………let’s say opened my eyes.<\/p>\n

I’m not going thru all my notes that I made but I did want to share some of her insight in looking at different TE’s as she helped me match the icons while surfing – like I said she thought the touch screen was cool and told Grandma to get with the times why you still using a mouse – this is so much faster.<\/p>\n

While surfing we were watching for people promoting Zaney Clicks and she was quick at spotting the banners and text links – examples was It’s the Cat’s Meow was one and I would have just kept going and she said there is a Zaney one Grandma – I clicked on it and sure enough – so asked her how did you know that.\u00a0 She goes Grandma everyone knows that you like cats so it had cats in the text link – had to be yours.<\/p>\n

Another lesson, sometimes we get busy branding ourselves with our names that we don’t even see that we also have been branding our sites with images – and the light bulb went on again – well do you know – she goes why don’t you add text links about cats – like Meow, Meow, Meow – well trying to hide the red face I just got a piece of paper and started taking notes.<\/p>\n

So I then asked her what was her favorite thing on the sites and she picked the banners and again I asked her why – well they are faster to read – they are always up in the corner and that corner catches my eye before the rest of the page.\u00a0 Interesting huh??????\u00a0 I sure thought so.<\/p>\n

Then she said I don’t like the flashy ones that makes my eyes bounce too much – I like the nice color ones – bright colors and easy to read – it’s easy to know what the banner is about instead of trying to read all that fine print – so again Grandma is taking more notes and going to go look at her banners.<\/p>\n

Then she goes Grandma how come your site is not green??????\u00a0 That is your favorite color and I thought the idea was to let people get to know you hummmmmm\u00a0 – she got me again……..wow – so guess I will have to maybe work on looking at that little closer.<\/p>\n

Get this one – Grandma how come you aren’t looking at your pages and site with your picture you have on here – it’s looking off the screen – again turning 8 shades of red hmmm well duh Grandma why did you do that – that is simple one to fix.<\/p>\n

Well folks this is just a few of the LONG list of things that I got from my Cheap Site Critique.\u00a0 All it cost me was my time and let her use my touch screen – and now I’m a cool Grandma as she had to go tell her friends at school.<\/p>\n

One other thing before I go and got to share this as it’s so funny.\u00a0 Grandma this is what you do for work, click matching icons, view others pages, play hangman (which she won them all), chat in these rooms\u00a0 – wow Grandma I can see why you have become a hermit and we don’t see you – this is an awesome “job”.\u00a0 Hehehehehe<\/p>\n
