I’ve been blogging for almost a year now and it seems like there is a new personal finance blog every day. Some manage to stay in the game, others have faltered. If you don’t enjoy what you are writing, then blogging is not your cup of tea. I present you the Class of 2007 for Personal Finance to acknowledge all their hard work and dedication.

Hello. And Bye.
Wow that is quite some list!
I wonder how many of those blogs are still doing as well or even better.
Wisebread is definitely one of the best frugal / finance blogs that I have read.
Thanks,
Forest.
Thanks for taking the time to recognize my blog. If you have not been by recently for a visit, please feel free to visit anytime.
i have been DYING for a place that had all PF blog… THANKS A MILL.
Thanks for sharing
I must still be too new to make the list this year, hope to be on it next year though!
Heh, I just found this blog and saw that I’m getting a 2.0. I hope I’ll be doing better by next year! 🙂
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!
Geesh, a guy can’t take a few months off without being picked on (sarcasm). OK, you encouraged me. I’m back in the game!
Thanks for linking me! Though I have way more than 100 incoming links and around 135 subscribers now. Also last month I had around 14000 pageviews. Anyway, I will continue writing.
Guess I’m not cool enough…. yet…
🙂
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 :-D.
Keep up the excellent blogging!
