Hi everyone,

 

I just finished my seventh week of blogging at Young Adult Money.  My Alexa rank is currently 1,178,184.  My goal is to get my rank below 200,000 by February 18^th, 2013.

 

I am a 20-something somewhat recent college graduate and newlywed (just hit our 11 month anniversary yesterday).  I work as an accountant by day, do a little spreadsheet consulting on the side (only have one client at this point…it's a work in progress), and blog five days a week at Y.A.M.

 

I knew a couple personal finance bloggers before starting my site (J Money at Budgets are Sexy and James & Miel at DINKs Finance), but have met a lot more since starting.  The value of knowing others who have been successful in the blogosphere and who are trying to reach similar goals is becoming very apparent to me.

 

I am excited about the Yakezie challenge because it puts a goal in writing and will help me network with other bloggers.  I’m looking forward to getting to know you all as well as sharing ideas.

Hi all!

I am on day 18 since my blog, Eyes on the Dollar, went live. My current Alexa rank is 3,652,306. We'll see if I can get it below 200,000 by February 1, 2013. I am very excited to be joining the challenge. I have been reading and commenting on PF blogs for a while now. I still have tons to learn, but the community support has been great already, and I look forward to meeting and interacting with as many fellow bloggers as possible.

I am an optometrist in my late 30's. I am in the process of selling my private practice and transitioning to part time work. We live in rural Colorado and love the outdoors. I am looking forward to this journey and will try my best to rise to the challenge!

Sorry just figured out the signature box!

Welcome to all of the new challengers! We are currently taking the challenge as well. I can't wait to read what you all have to say! Good luck!

Hey All!  I just joined the challenge today; 09/01/12.   I think I may take the prize for the highest Alexa rank so far; 7,755,326!!!!  hahaha    I am new to blogging so this whole thing is a bit mysterious to me.  I find it hard to believe I'll be anywhere close to 200,000 in six months, but I'm willing to give it a shot. 

I started http://www.mycreditcardwar.com simply to journal my path towards being debt-free.  I never realized how many awesome personal finance blogs exist!  I've found so much inspiration and motivation within so many other blogs.  It's an amazing community.

Good luck to all!

Great to meet you! Heading off to your site!

Looks good Debt Killer–I've followed and subscribed, and I look forward to checking you out. Don't worry too much about the 7+ mil ranking–just keep plugging away and it'll take care of itself (like I know anything ). Good luck!

Welcome to all of you.

Finally joined the challenge today, after thinking about it way too long. Look forward to meeting everyone and sharing in the success of so many awesome people.

My Alexa rank is 5,896,386  – so I also have a long way to go, but i believe in persistence so it will be fun watching it drop over the next few months.

My goal is to break the 200,000 mark on March 5, 2013. Looking forward to that day!

Good Luck to everyone, and I welcome any feedback.

All the Best – Jason
