   Looks like I was left out.

   I am with the “get by” students right now but I am working my way up to the “C” student.

2. Moneymonk on September 27th, 2007 10:37 am

   I don’t have a problem with being a C student ! Good to make the list!

3. rocketc on September 27th, 2007 11:38 am

   I think you were overly generous with me, but I’ll take it. Thanks for the shout-out.

   You have too much time on your hands.

   I think you were overly generous with me, but I’ll take it. Maybe this is the break I need.

   You have too much time on your hands.

5. Lynnae @ Being Frugal on September 27th, 2007 1:27 pm

   Thanks for including me! I’m right on the cusp of moving on to the B category. Watch out!

6. Art Dinkin on September 27th, 2007 6:07 pm

   What a fantastic list of blogs! This must have been quite a feat to compile. This will become a reference post for me and I am proud to have been included!

7. UsainDebt on September 27th, 2007 7:18 pm

   My blog is way too young, so you missed it!

   http://www.usaindebt.com

   I hope to get up there next time

8. Randy Peterman on September 27th, 2007 10:48 pm

   I’ll just have to keep going and hope that next year I do better than a C I’m new to PF blogging, but I’ve been putting my time in, trying to keep posting things I’m learning and things I want to learn about. Thanks for mentioning WMMM anyway

   [...] blog linked as a daily RSS read, and I reciprocate – I read every GLBL post in my RSS reader.  The Hustler Money Blog graded a huge number of sites for content quality and newness.  This blog ranked lower than I’d like, but I guess that I can shoot for something better [...]

10. m on September 28th, 2007 7:49 am

    Mine is a blog within a blog, until/if I move on to its own separate blog.

    I still consider it to be a pf blog, as I post regularly on pf topics, which can be easily sorted and accessed using the sidebar label for pf on my personal blog.

    Here’s a link (hope it works). I’d fall into your “get by” category, not because I don’t post often but because I don’t meet the link and readership minimums for the next category.

    I’m amazed that you compiled so many blogs for this list–great job!

11. Madame X on September 28th, 2007 9:31 am

    Wow, this must have been a lot of work. Thanks for including me.

13. Debt Free Revolution on September 28th, 2007 11:57 am

    Thanks for including me on the list. Guess a “C” isn’t bad for a less-than-3-month-old blog

14. chitown on September 28th, 2007 12:33 pm

    I also got left off.

    Once upon a time I was probably considered a college drop out but hell…I was finishing law school. lol

    This is a fantastic list!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

    (you really have a lot of time on your hands)

17. DK on September 28th, 2007 4:37 pm

    Thanks for including me — still working my way up to a C!

18. Frugal Guy on September 28th, 2007 6:23 pm

    Good work putting together the list!

19. FrugalBabe on September 28th, 2007 7:47 pm

    Wow – that’s quite a list you made… very impressed Hoping I make your next list – I think I’d be a “B”

20. FourPillars on September 28th, 2007 9:17 pm

22. Prince of Thrift on September 28th, 2007 10:47 pm

    Like the others, I would like to commend you on all the time and effort it took to compile your list. As I said on my blog, I think it is pretty accurate. thanks for publishing this list.

    Thanks also for the B.

23. JLP on September 28th, 2007 11:29 pm

    Thanks for the mention. I’m honored to be included in the Summa Cum Laude category. It really means a lot to me.

24. Flexo on September 29th, 2007 10:51 am

    Thanks for the inclusion!

25. Journal Writer on September 29th, 2007 2:17 pm

    Great list! I only started my blog in 2Q and so I’m assuming that’s why I was missed.

    I might only deserve a C for now based on my RSS subscribers, but I’m growing.

    http://mytradersjournal.com/stock-options/

    I broke the 10k vistor mark this month and I’m only a few hundred shy of 20k page views per month. I post 6-8 posts per week.

26. Single Ma on September 29th, 2007 9:54 pm

    This reminds me of undergrad for real. I had a 3.87 and needed a 3.9 to graduate summa cum laude. Darn, I missed it again! LOL

    Thanks for the recognition.

27. ispf on September 30th, 2007 1:54 am

    Wow, that must have been a lot of work!!! Thanks for including me!

28. the baglady on September 30th, 2007 2:30 am

    Hmm, I’m somewhere between a B and a C. B- maybe? Need to do better!

29. Shadox on September 30th, 2007 2:37 am

    I too was left out… Can we have our own reject list?

30. Penny Nickel on September 30th, 2007 9:53 am

    Thanks for including me and for spending your time putting this together!

    Although I have to say, your formula of X subscribers, X links, X * 100 views a month may not be ideal. I think in most cases people who have X subscribers have X * 10-30 pageviews a month. (For example, I am a C student by site traffic but my subscribers and incoming links have me at B student or Cum Laude.) Just a tip if you are looking to revise this or do it again!

31. Louise on September 30th, 2007 2:45 pm

    Wow what a great list! That must have taken some time to compile. As a fairly new blogger I was happily surprised to see my blog on the list. I find pf blogs realy help me to stay motivated to pay off my debt, so I can work my way through the list. Now hopefully I can get a higher grade next time around!

32. Outroupistache on September 30th, 2007 5:12 pm

    Great list! Maybe one day I’ll be lucky enough to make your list somewhere too.

33. English Major on October 1st, 2007 11:00 am

    I’d argue for a place in the B category for English Major Money. I’ve got 391 RSS readers, 183 incoming links (according to a little widget I just used, not sure how that’s really counted) and almost cracked 10K visits in September–will do so in October.

    Regardless, thanks for including me!

34. English Major on October 1st, 2007 11:04 am

    Oh, and I just realized it’s pageviews, not visits–I had 13,882 in September.

35. Todd on October 1st, 2007 12:21 pm

    Holy smokes!!

    Talk about a serious number of blogs there!!

    Good thing you did the list now, otherwise Aridni might have been in a lot worse of a spot if it was from a couple months ago!!

36. SavingDiva on October 1st, 2007 3:41 pm

    Thanks for the mention, even though I’m a 2.0 student…at least I’m not a drop out!

    I should admit that I post constantly…however, I don’t have very many readers…or well, I didn’t know that my blog would even make any sort of list!

37. CWG on October 1st, 2007 4:31 pm

    Thanks for the excellent list of blogs! I will surely use this as a resource down the line.

    My blog is only a little over a month old so I guess I’m in the 2.0 crowd. I hope a future list will find me closer to the top!

    Thanks and I’ll be adding your blog to my reading list.

38. Meg on October 1st, 2007 9:43 pm

    I was left off, though I’m still relatively new. I have 160 RSS subscribers, 40 or so outgoing links (I think?) and over 3K pageviews a month…great list though!

39. PiggyBankBlues on October 1st, 2007 10:13 pm

    man, i’ve never had such a low GPA in my life! oh, wait, that’s not true. i flunked french…

    thanks for the mention. great list, i love checking out new blogs!

    Interesting way to do the list. I definitely like the categories. It means you can’t game the system like you can at school. (Never do your homework but drop an A on the final and still pass the class. heh.)

    FWIW, you have EFipo listed twice in your drop out list.

55. Matt on October 8th, 2007 1:03 pm

    Thanks for compiling the list…I see that I need to add several more PF blogs to my reader.

    Hopefully Frugalize will make the list next year. We only started a little over a month ago, but we’ve been averaging a post a day.

    A lot of work! Cool list.

    The fact sheet for FF is wrong though; we have approx 20K pageviews per month (sitemeter), around 5000+ incoming links and a readership of 300+ (RSS + Email subscribers).
    With those figures we need to be in the cum laude group .

    Keep up the excellent blogging!

    I think mine would fit into the 2.0. I haven’t been able to build up my readers as fast as I hoped b/c I’ve been really busy with school and work. I just renovated the site, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
