BFS is a member of the Yakezie Alexa Ranking Challenge! My ranking last week was 88,995. Now it is 85,159! We’re moving on up!
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!!!
Now I’m starting a new goal of 75,000 by the end of August. Moving up is getting harder and harder, but we did very well this week! We completed almost 1/4 of the goal in one week, which is amazing! Hopefully this coming week will keep you enticed…can you help us choose Mr. BFS’s medical plan for the next year?
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!
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.

great job. My goal is to hit the 200,000 mark. I’m getting close. I started out at 800,000 or something like that.
Financial Bondage, I’ve visited a few times…I’ll start hitting your site more often to help your goal.
Congrats!
I applied to the Yakezie challenge and made a post following the rules, but never got added to the master list of members. Can you please assist me in being added to the Yakezie challenge?

If you could help me get connected to the group I would be very appreciative.
Thanks!
Excellent! I think you will get there and beyond, and am glad to see your success!
My blog is down to about 219k. I’m hoping to break 175k. We will see….
OdysseusToday, I just emailed you the exact steps. If you ever have any questions along the way, feel free to email me, but Sam at Financial Samurai is probably your best bet (I put his email addresses in the email too). He’s very nice and quick to respond and knows way more than me about the whole group. Good luck!
Squirrelers, thanks for the kind words! I’ll keep visiting your site to help out…easy to do since it’s on my regular reading list, lol.
I’m totally impressed how you’ve rocked this challenge!
If you haven’t already, please check out the google groups’ Yakezie brainstorming page Little House and I put up. Love to hear your input.
Also, would love for those members who want to be involved to post a Yakezie Member post. The idea is to write a post introducing yourself to the community, and discuss why you joined, why you started your site, and what it is that makes you tick. Maybe add in something interesting like a “one thing few people know” or something.
And then, we can do a follow up post writing about that topic which excites you the most. The color scheme of Yakezie.com is up if you want to check it out!
Help spread the word.
Best,
Sam
Thanks Sam!
I just took a look and left my comments on the brainstorming page. I’m just glad you went first since that cleared a lot up.
Also, I love the color scheme of the Yakezie.com page, but the symbol looks a little like candy corn to me – that’s not bad, just a little funny.
Lastly, where did you want us to submit our Yakezie Member posts? Directly to you or did I miss the link somewhere?
OK. Do you suggest we redo the symbol?
The whole idea was for the letter Y, for yakezie, and three verticals.
Someone told me something interesting, and that is that if I rely on too many people to tell me what to do, I’ll never get anywhere. It was regards to the color scheme and symbol. He said ask 50 people, and you’ll get 50 answers!
I personally like it a lot.
You can send member posts to me.
Rgs, Sam
Sam, NO, do not redo the symbol. Whoever told you to just go ahead was right – everyone is going to have a different opinion. I don’t have anything against candy corn and I do love the color scheme.
I was just making a casual observation after looking at it for a total of 5 seconds…like cloud gazing…
I’ll look into my Member posts tonight. Thanks so much for all the work you do for the group!
