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!

Welcome to the challenge, YPFinances!

Hello everyone.  it too me long enough but, I've finally joined this challenge.  I'm looking forward to writing more consistently, building relationships, and growing my blog.  Here's to helping others and having fun!

 

I forgot to add that my current Alexa ranking, at the time of this announcement, is 8,993,304!  Talk about a long way to go!

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.

Thank you very much!  I'm already excited to see how the numbers have changed so much in such a short amount of time!

Hello! I just joined the Yakezie Challange. I just started my blog (Less than a week old), and have been furiously working on it. My goal is to help people not make the same mistakes I did and to learn with me as I make financial decisions.

 

My Current Alexa rank is 5,118,779 and hopefully within the allotted 6 months I will be able to drop that below 200,000.

After thinking about it for a while, I would like to join the Yakezie Challenge.  I'm not sure if my blog would qualify since most of you have very high quality blogs.  I just started blogging in early February 2012.  I hope to build great relationships as I strive to write quality posts on my blog Planning Makes Cents.

I joined the Yakezie Network on March 7, 2012.  Today my Alexa rank is 1,772,637.  I have a long way to go to 200,000 but I'm up for the challenge!

Hi all:

 

I've just launched a new PF blog called MyCanuckBuck (http://mycanuckbuck.com) I've joined the challenge too. And my rank is..non-existent. Yup, I have no rank at all! I've been reading several PF blogs, so I knew about Yakezie before. But now I just have to see what I can learn from it!

Thanks all for the warm welcome. Sustainable PF – nice to meet a fellow canuck.

 

I'm not sure the best way to proceed – are we supposed to post and promote our posts? I don't want to pester anyone day in and day out. I do know commenting is a great way to start, so I'll start checking peoples blogs out!

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to blogging (I started around October 2011) and my alexa ranking is 3,835,763 and I'm looking forward to completing the challenge.  I started blogging to be accountable and to kick my butt into gear on paying off my debt and starting a efund.

Hello everyone!

After roughly 4 years of blogging I am happy to announce I have taken on the Yakezie Challenge!

I don't really know what took me so long, except that this is very much a hobby/labor of love for me and I don't have much spare time. Even so, I'm quite proud of what I have been able to accomplish in my spare time. I have a good bit quality content and a current Alexa rank of 731,734.

I guess I'm not doing too badly, but there's always room for improvement and I'd like to get more involved in the community, so here I am!

(you can check out my post about the challenge here. )

Hi everyone! I decided to join the challenge about 10 minutes ago. I was planning to put it off until I finished this semester, but then I changed my mind and here I am :). 

I started posting on my blog on February 7th of this year. My Alexa is 1,282,896 right now… and I'm looking forward to it dropping even further :). 

I write at BrokeElizabeth.com. My tagline is 'Personal Finance from a Student's Perspective' which I think says most of what you need to know about me: I am halfway through my second year of university, and am trying to learn as much about personal finance as I can so I don't rack up $200,000 in student loans before I graduate. I like exploring practical ways to save money, and am fascinated by the psychology behind spending and saving.

Hi all! Made my member post, installed the badge, announced my Yakezie Challenger status on my blog. I didn't have a rank yesterday because my blog was too new, I guess… it's about 3 days old. I logged on today annnddd (wait for it) – Alexa Rank is 7,899,286 and I've had 90 unique visitors this month. I don't even know if that's good, but I'm excited to be a part of the network!! :)
