I started my blog on a whim on July 11th because I just wanted to tell some stories about how my family and I are pursuing FI, and was fortunate to stumble across Yakezie a couple of weeks later. I joined the Yakezie challenge and installed the Alexa toolbar on August 1st, then my site dropped from 17 million to 195k in just over 6 weeks.

It's been awesome connecting with a bunch of Yakezie members and learning from you all, this place is definitely the hub of the personal finance blogosphere! Time for a new goal…

Nice work.  It is always a good thing when you hit the 200k mark.  Just keep bringing it down.

Thanks Monica. And yep, 100k is the new goal. I'm sure that will be tougher to achieve than 200k. Already down to 163k as of yesterday though, so here's hoping!

Just wanted to update this thread for those of you who asked– yes, getting to 100k was slower going but it happened yesterday. So it took about 6 weeks to break 200k (starting at 17m) and then another 7 weeks to break 100k. The numbers didn't drop more than 1-2% in any given day, but it was steady. Thanks!

Nicely done!  You're really cruising down the ranks.

 

I hope to follow you one day, but I don't think there are enough folks interested in my particular little niche of lifestyle.  But once again, congrats.

That's really awesome progress! I got to 200K in 2 months (started mid July too) and am now around 120K. Any advice to the momentum going? I'm thinking ebook or lots of guest posts but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts since you're obviously doing so well.
