For attracting youngster to your website, it is necessary to include interesting stuff besides plain text articles. Even while reading, youngsters need a number of varied subjects that they would find interesting. Addition of features such as games and quizzes appeals to the young generation.

Quizzes
Kids are always fond of quizzes. Not only do they like taking it themselves, they also love to make quizzes for their friends. This has been proved a number of times, as the sites that allows them to create their own quizzes are most of the times a big hit.

These quizzes are so popular because they are self-continuing. After completion of a quiz, there is always an opportunity to link it to their Blogs, or a button which enables them to email the results to their friends. Now after creation of their own quizzes, the kids would obviously send it to their friends. This generates a good amount of traffic.

Games
A number of websites also offer games to their visitors. They are popular because they allure both the kids as well as their older counterparts. Their only disadvantage is that there is a need to either produce them or pay to someone else for the same. Though they are not too costly, they have to be very interesting in order to become popular.

There are a variety of formats in which the games are available, they range from Flash to Java among others. But the best format is Flash, as it is widely available on most computers, supports the creation of appealing graphics and is quite fast as compared to Java.

Java is not suitable for a layman but is suitable for more technical users and also make the user's computer very slow. Also, the games appear very dull and are not attractive. Installation of Flash is quite easy, whereas Java takes a lot of involvement on the user's part.

All kinds of games are popular, as long as they are original. When building a big game, try to adapt it in the style as in Runescape. This is a style in which one can play throughout the day without getting bored.

Creative puzzle games are also helpful in attracting a long-term traffic. In case of shorter games, classic games in new versions are quite popular to get a steady long-term traffic. But if what you want is short-term burst of traffic, then you must target funny games related to recent events.
