I see a lot of technical terms related error. Anyway which is this blogger community you are talking about?

It's not a public community like the Yakezie group. It's one of my private networks and their friends. I've been mentoring about 20 female bloggers for the past year or so and can't do it on that basis anymore so I'm formalizing it into a program that they can run themselves. We'll be promoting and helping with SEO for about 200 bloggers when the site goes live in July. Inclusion is restricted to the group because it is a specific private community with certain ties with each other.

They don't blog for money but for info and there are certain things that they want to restrict access to.

Jeff is correct... Wise Bread is definitely top notch and puts a great deal of energy into the personal finance blogging world. Keep focused on building a SOLID site, Great Content, and loyal followers: then the rest will all just fall into place.

Pride check: don't be so quick to judge those guys. They are top notch and the fact they've taken the time to put together a list on their own dime is a credit to their commitment to the personal finance blogging space.

Keep doing what you're doing and you'll get added to the list. And if takes a while, it's not the end of the world.

If you are going to FinCon in Denver, I know Will Chen is planning to attend. I have had many good interactions with their staff.

I contacted them 12 months ago. Reminded them a few months later. Sent them emails. Sent them another email that one of the wise bread persons suggested somewhere in a Yakezie forum post.

Never any reaction. A total waste of my time. Will never contact them again. Will never visit that site again. Wish them all happiness in live.

It frustrates me too. As far as I know, I haven't yet been added and I've been blogging for over 6 months now. I've tried getting on in all sorts of ways too.

Money Crashers was great and added me to the list within a week! Definitely try to get on there if you haven't!

I definitely would like to get listed. However, I don't sweat things that aren't essential to succeeding. I've been listed on these types of ranking sites before and often they discourage me more than inspire me.

Very understandable. I was just curious as to if anyone knew who the process worked :) Thanks for all of the info guys.

Very well said Eric. And new challengers, for your information, in last one year I have seen more than 75% of challengers drop out before completing their challenge. So you are a blogger, worth appearing in blogger list, only if you post regularly and have sufficient blogging history. If you haven't applied for inclusion, then do so

1. Wisebread

2. Money crasher

3. PF blogger map

If you applied and not appearing on these lists, wait and watch. Continue to write and you'll get your fair share of glory.

I get a few clicks every week or so.

The thing to remember is that it is a free service they are providing, and as such it is not an entitlement. I waited a few months as well after initially submitting my application.

What we need to remember is that they run an entire site, and the top blog section is only a small part of the site, and the community as a whole. The real value they provide lies elsewhere if anyone has ever been to their site.

Lance--as per your original query, your blog has only been live for roughly a month, correct? I would give it some time since one of the requirements for inclusion is regular posting, and at least a few months old. Like the Yakezie challenge, I'm sure they do not want someone to apply the week they start and then dropping off the face of the earth due to lack of time, drive, etc. right after. So give it some time, and I'm sure you will get added when the time is right.

I don't. I've been on there for quite awhile and I don't ever remember seeing any referral traffic. Like most PF blog rankings, it doesn't really do much for me.

For those of you who got on the list, do you see any traffic?

I got on the list when I met them in Chicago @ FinCon11.

Nice people.

The list is nice, but updated very slowly.

They have spoken numerous times about revising the list anyway (i.e., to have coupon blogs on a separate chart and perhaps to reconsider the ranking algorithm [right now it is VERY social heavy with Klout + FB & Twitter]. It was not a top priority when they were discussing this a while back, but at some point, I suspect you all will be added.
