Congrats!

 

Yes, they do seek you out especially if you have a retirement focus.  The cool thing is they let you drop your own links and really flexible with their by-lines.

 

Unfortunately, other than adding another "As seen on" to my media mentions, I haven't really seen any traffic from it.   Then again, writing AP style is REALLY boring.  

 

I know some other bloggers that contribute have had their article picked up by Yahoo.  If that happens, that should be nice boost in traffic, unfortunately they remove the links  :(

The byline is intact. Pretty cool! Now I'm seeing a some traffic uptick.

Yeah, I had a lot of problem writing in AP style. Hopefully, I'll get better at it.

I'm sad to report that I only saw a little spike on Friday from Yahoo! – about 50 visitors.

How disappointing. Confused

I guess Friday afternoon isn't the best time to get publicity. Laugh

Don't get too down. It is still something to be proud of. I think it is just summer syndrome. People are to busy to be at home on their computer.

Retireby40 I wouldn't get too down about the traffic.  I write for U.S. News as well, although I took a break from it this summer to study.  I've found that almost all posts are picked up by Yahoo but some get a lot more exposure than others. Last year I had a post make it to the front page of Yahoo Finance and received a ton of traffic.  The post also had a link to a post on my blog that had affiliate links in it and I made some affiliate sales also.  Getting the big traffic doesn't happen very often but it helps make writing for them worth it. Plus, I like being able to say I write for U.S. News.
