Andrea, it's gonna keep dropping.  I joined the challenge on the 19th (?) of August with my Alexa rank at 1.2m and it's already down to under 400k. It's amazing!

Welcome all new challengers - 

If you all are interested in guest posting on my site – contact me.  I've got 2 open spots and I'd be happy to give a challenger some backlinks and exposure!  Just shoot me an email!

Hello Everyone,

Even though I already feel like I know most of you, I want to introduce myself officially.

My name is Paul Vachon, Founder of The Frugal Toad.  I am a Middle School Science Teacher by day and Personal Finance blogger by night.  I worked in Corporate Finance with Westinghouse Electric for 8 years and then decided to make a career move and go into Teaching. 

I have been working towards my CFP certification and completed all of my coursework, all I have to do is sit for the exam and then make the plunge!

I officially joined the Yakezie Challenge on August 29th with an Alexa rank of 4.2M and currently at 492K thanks to the warm support I have received from all of you!

Welcome aboard.  Keep it up and the ranking drops along with it.

Hi My name is Tushar and I blog at Everything Finance. I joined Yakezie on May 5, 2011m but actively started participating in July. My Alexa rank at that time was 245K. Now its 102K :)

My goal here is to help other members as best as I can and in the process learn a few things myself.

Really Excited to be here!

Thanks LaTisha. I know I am. Everybody is so awesome and helpful—great role models galore.  There's just so many members and challengers I sometimes feel (know) that I can't keep up, of course I still try. Have a good day LaTisha.

I joined the Yakezie challenge on September 11th, 2011 after years of blogging and struggling. I don't know what took me so long to join the Yakezie Challenge, but I thought that a new blog (Money Q&A) should have a fresh start with me really make a go of it this time after a couple of blogs with mixed results and little traffic. My Alexa rank on September 11th was somewhere around 1.2 million.  I'm currently up to 769,254 after 15 days. My goals for Money Q&A are of course to bring down the Alexa Ranking to under 200,000 but also to write more consistently which has always been a real struggle for me. Another goal of mine for the site is to increase the RSS subscribers to 500. I had never broken the 350 mark with previous blogs I have owned, and that is something I want to focus on this time around.

A little about myself, I'm a perpetual student not only because I love learning about finance and investing but also because my employer keeps paying for me to go to school. I have a Masters in Finance, and I am just finishing an 18 hour course to be eligible to sit for the CFP exam. 

Welcome, Hank! Checked out your site, looks good. I like the domain/blog name too.
