@John @Sarah – welcome.

@Sarah – I saw how much debt you've knocked off this year on your site.  Holy Moly!

I have said holy moly on many an occasion myself! It has been a lot of hard work but worth every penny.

Thanks for all of the welcoming comments!

Hey Sarah, I sent you an email requesting a guest post as well. But if you use a contact form that uses Akismet, it may not have gotten to you.

Hi everyone,

 

I just joined the Yakezie challenge and I wanted to introduce all of you to my blog, The Penny Hoarder. I focus on wacky ways to make extra money like how to make $5,000 playing video games for NASA or how to get a job spying on the mailman.

 

I'm looking forward to blasting that Alexa Ranking below 200,000! :) I'm starting at 1,461,326 today.

Ok, I'm feeling like a knucklehead. I went back to check on when I started the challenge, and I can't find where I commented on Sam's original post or here in the forums. Apparently I only announced it on my blog! I'm losing my mind…

 

Anywho, when I announced on my blog on Jan 29th that I was joining, my Alexa ranking was 625,000-ish. Today it dropped below 300k. Since I technically missed the commenting requirements back in January… do I start over or wait until the end of July (my six months) and re-evaluate my progress at that point?

Thanks!

Hi, I entered the challenge with my second blog (www.payoffdebtapp.com/blog) back in February but have just changed the name of my site to The Debt Myth (www.thedebtmyth.com). I'm working on getting things switched around there right now, but meanwhile I thought I'd update you on the name change to my challenger blog.

Hey Kyle, I just checked you blog and I think is great.  Want me to add you to my list of favorite blogs?

I am pleased with my blogging success, I am now at 559,386 plus I was in my first carnival as of today.  My next goal is to find some advertisers for my blog.  I want to start earning from it.

Matt I think your blog announcement will do as far as joining date is concerned. But do remember all the other requirements , most importantly self less promotion of fellow Yakezies.

Matt, the 6 months requirement is there because it takes time to know other bloggers, interact with them and help them (a nice side effect is your alexa will go down too). So if you joined end of January, I would put all the effort for another month at least and see if you can get below 200k. This means you have to start commenting, promoting, helping… in full fledge… If you got below 200k, by August mid, you can still get in the gamma class. That's my understanding anyway…

To add to Suba's note – part of the challenge is indeed getting to know others and having them get to know you, Matt.  With 27 posts on the forums in 5 or 6 months, people likely haven't had a chance to know much about you.  Step it up :)
