Hey all,
Don't know exactly when I joined the challenge. It may sound strange, but allow me to explain. I installed the Alexa bar around Mid-December, when the Alexa score was about 1,100,000. I started tracking it then, it's now 205,307. I *just today* figured out how to post the Yakezie emblem on my site (don't snicker). So I guess that since I'm close to 200,000, the challenge is get to below 100,000 within 6 months.

Hi all,
I am officially joining today, though my blog has been running for 1 month.
My Alexa rank is a mighty 18,849,240. So I have a lot of work to do.
http://www.positivebrother.blogspot.com (www.positivebrother.com) is where I blog. My focus is on doing well in life. Finance and money therefore is a topic I will be covering a lot but my experience here is lacking so I am reading as much as I can on the subject before I delve too much into it. I am also training to qualify as a certified/chartered accountant so should have some good insights to share.
When I started my blog, I committed to it for a year and to post once a week, so I am not sure if I will graduate at Yakezie, but I thought I would join the community anyway.
I have the drive and to put it plainly, want to make a lot of money. Six figures all the way to seven figures!
May be I will achieve it, may be I won't, but I will get wealthy, or die trying!
I hope to connect with some cool people here so will be up and about :)

It's been a long time coming. I should've joined the Yakezie Challenge a year ago.
Well, I'm here now. I've been blogging off and on going on 2 years now. After some serious reflection and time management / productivity self education, I'm back on! Boy, have I missed it.
Oh, my current Alexa traffic rank is 980,200. Just in the past couple weeks, it's gone down about 450,000. That's not too bad, but it good be soooo much better.

Maybe it will work better if you don't set your goal to be so often. Would you be more successful with a goal of posting 3 times a week?
I think you are completely right Kay Lynn. Three times is far more doable for me. Especially since I just started working again (WHOOO WHOOO)

Hello everyone! I'm the new kid on the block, my name is Jon and I run a relatively new personal finance site, dubbed Free Money Wisdom @ http://www.freemoneywisdom.com. I'm a 23 year old professional, just embarking on my career in construction management. Personal finance has been a passion of mine for some time now, so I decided to start a blog where I can spread wisdom in hopes of helping people make wiser financial decisions.
I'm so proud to be part of the Yakezie challenge! I'm excited to meet everyone in the challenge and get to know my fellow PF bloggers.
I'm starting this challenge today with an Alexa ranking of 652,867. My goal is to meet as many people as I can, share ideas, and help other Yakezie members succeed. Don't be shy, feel free to email me!
Let the challenge begin!

Hi all!
My name is Andrea, and I'm very new to the personal finance world. I just started blogging last month and decided to enter the challenge today. My blog, So Over Debt, chronicles my efforts to cut expenses and pay off $60,000 in debt on a $36,000/year salary. So many of the blogs I read weren't within my scope of reality because my income is so tiny, so I thought there may be others who are interested in reading the blunders of someone with a crappy income.
Right now, my Alexa ranking is a horrific 10,247,988. Haven't had much blog traffic yet, which is fine since I'm just starting out. I think 6 months is a little ambitious but I'm willing to give it a try! I look forward to reading and learning from all of you.

Welcome Jon & Andrea!!!! Jon, you are rocking and rolling! Andrea – don't worry. As long as you stay connected through the forum you'll meet your goal in no time. I was a little concerned in the beginning. This is my first attempt at a blog as well. This community has been an excellent resource for learning, bouncing ideas off the more seasoned bloggers, and just keeping the momentum going. There's even a cool financial blogging conference in the works.

Welcome and have fun growing your blog. I'll swing by to visit shortly!

Hello all! I just joined the Yakezie challenge, and am really
excited to get started and to meet everyone. I've been operating my
blog for about 2.5 months, and my current Alexa Ranking is 424,912.
I've followed many of the blogs in this network, and after a little
encouragement from financial samurai, took the plunge.
My blog is about dividend investing. I love to look at numbers and
analyze companies, so I hope that I can share some insight and education
with everyone. You can call me The Dividend Pig, and here is my blog: http://www.thedividendpig.com
While not writing there, you can also find me at seekingalpha.com
under the same name. My goal is to crack the top 200,000 by summer. I
look forward to meeting and learning from everyone!
