When I joined the challenge back on 4/25, my blog was about 2.5 months old and I had an Alexa ranking of 4.1 million. I just checked today and my ranking is now down to 911,770. Broke the 1 million barrier!

I'm well aware that this was the easy part, but it's still exciting. I feel like a owe a big thanks to everyone here who's shown support and given advice. I'm especially thankful to Holly at Club Thrifty, who was the first person to regularly come to my site and comment and who's given great advice for how to build my blog and connect with other bloggers. I've also learned a ton just from searching through past threads on here. This network has an amazing wealth of knowledge. It's honestly a little overwhelming at times but incredibly helpful.

 

On a different note, I tried to login here yesterday and found that for the 2nd time in about a week my account had been deleted. This may just be coincidence, but if there's someone I have offended please let me know so I can work on fixing it. I plan on sticking around for the long haul, so if there's a problem let's air it out and get it behind us.

 

Once again, I really appreciate all of the support I've received so far. I hope that I can repay it down the line.

Matt, congrats. Do what you are doing and you will get below 200k fast. Believe me, I had similar experience. And of course as you get closer to 200 k it will get tougher. Too crowded down there :)
