10 Most Popular Websites for Kids

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

As there is a seemingly endless supply of child-appropriate websites on the Internet, kids’ websites are facing the same challenges as other sites on the net, namely bringing traffic and capturing the users’ attention.

In a quest to drive website traffic and increase site popularity, marketers and brands are all doing their best to stand out and attract users, and to convince them to visit their websites. This, however, is quite a complicated task, as young kids visiting sites depend totally on their parents to set up the sites for them.

But what happens when you put all the kids’ websites into one place and create easy navigation for children to surf these sites? What happens when you let the kids decide for themselves what their favorites are from a big selection ?

This is exactly what happens in KIDO’Z, and what this Kid’s Web Environment does is it gives every kids’ website a fair chance to make its mark, by letting the kids themselves decide what their most popular websites are, regardless of marketing spending and online efforts.

Websites are added to KIDO’Z by parents and educators from all over the world. The KIDO’Z smart content engine ensures that, in addition to personalizing the content for each kid, all content that has been recently added is getting exposure. This keeps the content fresh for the kids and give the new content a chance to become popular.

The following list represents the 10 most visited sites on KIDO’Z by kids from more than 80 countries. Through KIDO’Z, young children have direct access to hundreds of kids websites in more than 30 languages in a safe, central place. These websites are identified by colorful eye-catching thumbnails and children simply need to click on the image of their choice to visit the site. Children can also easily add any website to their Favorites section for fast and easy return to the sites that they like the most.

You’ll notice that even though some of the big brands are up there, there are also a couple of unique, smaller sites that are making their mark. For example, Fun Brain and Poisson Rouge are listed among the most popular English websites in KIDO’Z, and through KIDO’Z, they are given the opportunity to compete with some of the established big brands. These two sites fall under the educational website category and use learning games and activities to educate children. The popularity of these sites could be indicative of the demand by children for educational and interactive website content.

New KIDO’Z on the Block

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Hi friends,

We’d like to introduce you to the new kid on the block: KIDO’Z (v1.0) - The Kid’s Web Environment. KIDO’Z is currently the talk of the town



Although some of you already know KIDO’Z ‘the Browser’ pretty well and have spent many happy times together, we think you’ll find that you will like KIDO’Z ‘the Kid’s Web Environment’ even more.

KIDO’Z has officially grown from a Kid’s Browser into a Kid’s Web Environment, jam-packed with more personality, better language skills and has become more protective than ever before! And as always, is such fun to have around.

KIDO’Z is now fluent in 17 languages in both User Interface and the Parental Control Account! Your kid will love that KIDO’Z now speaks his/her own language.

Remember, even if your KIDO’Z Environment is not yet available in your language, there is still lots of exciting content available in over 160 different languages.

KIDO’Z also wants to get to know your kid better, to become even more relevant to him/her - at the heart of KIDO’Z is our Smart Content Engine, which filters content for your kid according to age, language, culture, nationality, gender, religion, and content popularity, just to name a few.


But of course, no-one knows your kid better than you do. KIDO’Z encourages you to continue uploading fresh content for your kid (and if you want to, to share it with others) to ensure that the KIDO’Z Kid’s Web Environment is the best it can be for your kid and your community.

And, as always with KIDO’Z, you can breathe easy knowing that your kid is safer than ever in the KIDO’Z Environment, because guess what? Now you can even block KIDO’Z exit with the password-protection option.

More technological sophistication has not gone to KIDO’Zs’ head though - KIDO’Z is as simple and fun to use as before, retaining the same kid-friendly, graphical user interface.

Spend some time with the new KIDO’Z Kid’s Web Environment and you’ll experience first-hand exactly what we’re talking about.

Enjoy exploring the new environment!

The KIDO’Z Team
