So a few hours ago I announced my entrance into the Yakezie Challenge on their forums.
Yakezie is the largest personal finance and lifestyle blog network on the web.
The base guidelines of the challenge are as follows:
1) Install the Alexa toolbar if not already and comment what your current Alexa ranking is, so we can keep track.
2) Write consistently 2-4 times a week.
3) Install the Yakezie Challenger Badge.
4) Announce on your blog that you have joined the Yakezie Challenge. (Check in the box!!)
5) Selflessly promote others and build relationships.
My current Alexa ranking is 5,118,779. The challenge is to rank below 200,000 after 6 months.
Every Sunday I from now on I will be releasing a list of my recommended reads from the week to help my fellow Yakezie Challengers!
If anyone else has recently joined the challenge please let me know in the comments. I would love to meet more of my fellow challengers!
Welcome to the challenge! I started the challenge about 3 weeks ago and have gone from 900,000 to 336,000 over that time.
You’ll do great…just work on writing great content and build relationships with some of the members. I’ve noticed that commenting on other peoples’ blogs helps the most and linking to them in a round-up post (as you mentioned) helps a little as well.
Good luck!!

Thanks for the great tips! I have been trying my hardest to visit other blogs and comment everyday. I keep a list of everyone I visit on a daily basis and I just added you to the list.
Best of luck with the challenge. I’m not a part of the official yakezie challenge, but I just dipped under 200k alexa today. For me it was mostly just a matter of working hard and connecting with a lot of bloggers. The more active you are on other blogs, the more love comes back your way.
