When I was studying for the CPA exam there was no way I could have joined the challenge. If I had an hour a night away from studying I considered myself lucky.

Good luck to you my friend! Let me know if you want to guest post on my small, but growing, blog!

I guess I am just that bad ass :P,  Kidding!

Evening everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know I am on board for the Yakezie challenge. My current Alexa rank is 584,881 — Been operating since late 2011 and look forward to growing in 2012.

I have to admit I was a bit discouraged when Google had its most recent pageranking and I went from PR0 to PR0, but I am determined to get an audience.

Hopefully my articles will be entertaining, but more importantly I want them to be semi-unique.

About myself: 25 year old accountant, currently taking CPA exam, I purchased a home with the $8,000 credit in 2009 and completed a $20,000 rehab on the home. I currently have about $12k in liquid assets and an estimated $30k of equity in my home.

I look forward to getting to know the community and hopefully having plenty of article swaps and back link building!

Wow studying for the CPA exam and blogging, your good.  Welcome to Yakezie and good luck on the exam.  Keep us up to date on the results.

Hello!

I joined the challenge on 1/31 at around 4.5 mil and now I am around 1.4 mil. A little about ME: I am a 25 year old banker from Illinois.  I am currently finishing my bachelors in Finance (finally!). I worked at Chase bank for 4 years and have worked at BMO Harris bank now for 2 years.  I hope to become either an analyst or a financial advisor.  I started blogging to help others manage money, and also to learn more about finances.  The best way to learn is to teach.  I was told to check out Yakezie.com from a tweet.  I am glad I listened because this place is amazing.  I hope that I can make a lot of friends, as well as learn a ton! Thanks everyone

Paul, I would make your site at the bottom of your signature in your posts have a clickable link to your site.  Easier for us to get there and might drum up some more traffic.  Just a suggestion. 

I like the overall flow of your site and the graphics.  Keep up the good work.

Hi guys, just a quick note to say that I've dropped down into the 500,000's in Alexa!

Feeling good about breaking 200,000 by August :)

Congrats! That is awesome progress! :)

Hi All,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped promote my blog Young, Cheap Living. In just over three weeks, my Alexa rank has dropped from 3.5 million to 848,000. I still haven't figured out how to use the Yakezie carnivals to my advantage yet though so I'm going to be working on that next.

If anyone has any tips on how to, as a new blogger, network with other Yakezie members and challengers and to learn more about the workings of utilizing Yakezie to the max, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks again everyone!

Kraig

Your website looks nice. If you work hard you'll break the top 1,000,000 in just 2 or 3 weeks. I was in your shoes about 3 weeks ago and now I just broke the top 1,000,000 world wide and 100,000 in the US. 

Your site is better than most, you should be just fine. Good luck.

Hi everyone! I just joined the Yakezie Challenge and I'm excited to try to grow more relationships with other PF bloggers. I started my blog pretty recently and am slowly learning many things about personal finances that I never knew. I'm already enjoying blogging and finding the PF community very welcoming and helpful. 

I have a long way to go – my current Alexa rank is 6,927,846 but I'm cautiously optimistic that I can succeed in this challenge. My member post is up and I'm excited about the future!
