BFS is a member of the Yakezie Alexa Ranking Challenge! My ranking last week was 54,669 and is now 53,893!
The original goal was to be in the top 200,000 by July 4, 2010 and you helped me blow that out of the water in 2 months…a whole month early! Then we were shooting for 100,000 by July 4th and we hit that goal too!!! After that we started a new goal of 75,000 by the end of August, and I thought there was no way, but we hit that out of the park by August 15!!!
Now we are shooting for 50,000 by Halloween! I know it’s a little insane, but we are so close! We had a good week and hopefully we’ll do even better this one! Thanks for helping me out so much! Only 3,893 to go!
As always, I would like to sincerely thank all of my readers and the members of the Yakezie Challenge. Obviously, this would have been impossible without all of you. Thank you all so much! I repeat those words every week, but please understand that I mean it every time.
In case you didn’t know, Alexa traffic rankings are determined by the numbers of hits a site gets by people with the Alexa toolbar. If you want to be part of this ranking community, you can download the Alexa toolbar here. 
If you are a Yakezie member and don’t see yourself on my member list, please send me an email or leave a comment here to be added. I copied the list originally in early March and updated it in mid-June. Please let me know if you are still missing. Thanks!
If you are interested in seeing how I went from an 8 million plus Alexa rank to about 60,000 in less than 7 months, you can see My Blogging Schedule over at Crystal Clear Thoughts.
BTW, I am going to start posting blogging stat and income updates at the beginning of every month since so many people, bloggers and non-bloggers alike, seem interested. This update will be posted on all 3 of my sites – Budgeting in the Fun Stuff, Crystal Clear Thoughts, and Dog’s Life For Me. Each site will have it’s own stats and income listed. Pop in once in a while and we’ll see whether blogging full time by 2012 is a silly dream or not!
If you keep doing what your doing you are gonna end up with a Negative Alexa Ranking. Keep killing it girl!
That’s so awesome! I just found your site and you are really killing it with your Alexa ranking. Congrats!
I’m off to read your other blogs. I can’t believe you write three of them!
@Ninja, lol. Yeah, the day I beat Google (Alexa of 1) will be a good day, lol.
@Fig, thank you so much! I’m glad you’ve found BFS! I can’t believe I’m balancing 3 blogs either…we’ll see when my mind goes completely, lol. Anyway, thanks for commenting! Congrats on your emergency fund!
Hi Crystal,
I just found your website through the Ninja I believe! haha. Anyhow, I just wanted to say congrats and that I am part of the Yakezie network too and would love to help you however I can. Our group just keeps growing bigger! And could you add me to your list as well?
Also I like how you have modified the theme. I’ve used Atahualpa for awhile and I love it.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Hey Crystal, it looks like we are really pushing your numbers down!
I just cracked my 75k goal (a little earlier than I expected), and now I guess I’ll shoot for 50k like you! I don’t think I can hit that based on my 1 month and 7 day numbers, but we’ll see.
@Jeremy, hi! After choosing Atahualpa for BFS, I had to carry it over to my other 2 sites too, lol. At this point, the idea of learning a new theme scares me, hahaha. You’ve been added to my Yakezie Member List; thanks for popping on over!
@Khaleef, I’m so glad you’ve hit your 75,000 goal! I’m not sure if I’ll actually hit 50,000 or not either, so I wish us both good luck.
