One of my favorite personal finance bloggers, the Financial Samurai, began the Yakezie Challenge to promote great personal finance blogs and build up the blogging community. The objective is for any given blog to take note of their current “Alexa Ranking” and work steadily for 6 months to reach the top 200,000. As of tonight, Dolla Thug is officially participating in the challenge! My current Alexa ranking is 2,175,623…that’s a long way from 200,000 BUT with your help, I can one day get to the top 200,000 and higher! Let’s see where I stand in 6 months by March 1st, 2011 (since Feb 29th doesn’t exist in 2011!) Any progress is good progress. It’s going DOWN!
The ultimate goal is to sport this badge:

Good luck in the challenge man! Don’t forget to register on Yakezie.com and check out the Public Forums where other challengers will be introducing themselves. You guys will be the 2nd team of challengers. Get to know each other well!Cheers,Sam
Hey Sam – I’ll definitely make sure to check out the forums and introduce myself. This is kind of a big deal!
Good luck on the challenge. I started much higher than you, (almost 10,000,000) and am in the 400k range now in my 3rd month of the challenge! Good luck and as sam says, get to know each other well, it’ll help out in the end.
@Jeff – Thanks for the well wishes. Congrats on reaching the 400Ks – that’s a serious jump! I’m already seeing progress myself – I’m up 1,956 points since yesterday!
Good Luck Ana!! I know you will reach that goal and get a lot accomplished within the next 6 months! We gotta keep each motivated! Dolla Thug & Another TwentySomething here we gooo!
Thanks Mo!! Yes, we’re taking over the web…ASAPedly!
Welcome to the group! I still have not beaten the challenge (was part of the first phase though). I started at 8 Million and now down to ~215k and I don’t even have that many readers. So I know you will easily reach your goal and more. I will do my part in promoting and helping. Good Luck!
@ Suba – thanks for the well wishes and the support!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.
