As you probably know already, we had bought Green Panda a few months ago. The main reason why we bought this blog is because we liked its young and fresh approach. Personally, I feel that the way you think and shape your personal finance in your 20s will have a great influence on the rest of your life.
In order to contribute to improving the world of personal finance, we recently joined the Money Mavens Network. This group has been formed by 9 great bloggers who share information and anecdotes of different aspects of personal finance. Instead of regrouping a bunch of look-a-like blogs, we decided to form a group of complementary bloggers. This is why you will enjoy so many different topics discussed among this group.
While participating in the Money Mavens Network, I thought it would be a good idea to take my contribution to the personal finance blogs to another level. Since I have been reading Sam’s blog (Financial Samurai) for a while, I took a look at his Yakezie Challenge.
What is the Yakezie Challenge?
This is basically (another) group of bloggers who have teamed up to improve their ranking by one of the highest website authorities of this planet: Alexa. This chick (kidding!) basically has the power of life and death over our blogs as she determines their ranking.
Beside improving your Alexa ranking, I have jointed the Yakezie challenge for another reason. To be honest, most blogger groups are made for one single goal: bring more visits to everybody by sharing links among them. While it’s a win-win situation between the bloggers who get more traffic and the readers who get to know more quality blog, the Yakezie challenge brings something more: it regroups a lot more bloggers than other networks.
What is nice about it is that this is a way for me to find about other blogs that are not as mainstream compared to the big bloggers. While you sometimes find very poor articles, there are also hidden gems among them. And this is why I am joining the Yakezie Challenge; to discover new blogs.
It won’t change much for you besides the fact that you will have the opportunity to discover more blogs during my “what is cool around the web” roundups
