So … there’s this new group that’s formed in the personal finance blogosphere. You may have heard of them. They go by…
The Yakezie group’s motto is “selflessly promoting others”. Sounds great – sign me up! 
The main goal of members is to increase their Alexa ranking. And since I just launched this blog 3 weeks ago, my Alexa ranking is pretty pitiful. It’s standing at a weak 1,485,538 as of today. Yikes.
At my old blog, I somehow attained a page rank of 4 and my Alexa rank was in the 400,000s at one point (surely, it’s not anymore).
I don’t blog for traffic, I blog because I love to. But I also want my blog to be successful and I want to meet more of the awesome people I’ve met over the past 18 months.
So, here we go! I’m gonna Yakezie my socks off for the next six months and see how things go! Wish me luck!
About B&B
Great to have you join the challenge!
Congrats on joining the challenge….. I am coming in right behind you !!!!! Good luck!
Hi Amber, welcome to the challenge!
That sounds really interesting. Do you know if there’s something like that for personal/advice blogs?
Welcome! Glad to have you! =)
I joined as well. I can’t even stay under two million!
Yay! Welcome to the Yakezie! Wow, you got a page rank of 4?? That’s amazing!! (No, seriously, that’s amazing).
Hey, you starting a 1 mil is pretty good. I think I was at 2.6 million. =)
Yeah, I have no idea how it happened! I received pretty good traffic at the old blog, but I was seriously surprised at a PR of 4!! I think it is harder to get that high, that fast on a self-hosted site though…
I’ve been meaning to join as well… I just don’t know that I have the time to devote to it. I’m sure I’ll eventually make it on the wagon.
Welcome to the group. It can take a while to get to know everyone. Just keep looking around till you get the hang of the Yakezie way.
Nice! I joined it too but so far I haven’t really made much progress. I’m hoping for some good moves up the ladder soon!
Congratulations for joining the Yakezie! My Alexa ranking was around 500K when I joined in March and was down to around 118,000 four months later. Great bunch of people.
Welcome to the Yakezie; you’ll get what you put in and “meet” a bunch of great people.
I joined the Yakezie challenge two days ago. In fact I stumbled onto your blog and that’s how I found out about the Yakezie. It sounds great. Good Luck to us both!
