Hi,

Always the last to know! Please consider adding my humble blog to the list. I know it is most likely too small to be noticed, but I can always dream! :-)

Kindest regards,

How often does the list update, or do you have to update it manually? My PR jumped from 2 to 3 (yay!) and I'd be most grateful if you could update that. Thanks! I love having this list, it's such a great resource.

Hi all,

I haven't updated this thread in a while. Here's some news and responses to posts since I last updated.

-Greg


News:

1) Now tracking over 300 money related blogs. Woo!

2) There's a couple of new forms:

2a) Submission form to add your PF blog to the directory (or to request changes/additions to your blog profile):
http://www.wisebread.com/top-100-mos...e-blogs/submit

2b) Feedback / general contact form:
http://www.wisebread.com/top-100-mos...-blogs/contact

We'd prefer if you used these two forms to contact us about the Top PF Blogs directory. They will send email to us, and we'll respond accordingly. Posting to this thread (instead of using the forms above) may or may not get you a response....

Sure, why not? I do think we need to do a better job of categorizing blogs... that's coming in the next version hopefully.

Hi Len -- we all start at 1 visitor. Your blog was added a couple of weeks ago.

Hi Andryia - the stat updates happen automatically. It may take a couple of days for us to catch up.

My traffic, twitter, etc numbers are much higher than a lot of the blogs already mentioned, and my post frequency is much higher than a lot of them.

Is there some reason my blog has been passed over time & time again? Am I doing something wrong? Just today, I tweeted the same request as MyLifeROI and I still did not get listed, yet his blog did.

Please clarify and add my blog.

Thanks,

Hi Matt -- your blog was added a few weeks ago, but I wanted to update this thread so everyone knows what's going on.

I'm so sorry for the delay in adding you. It's not you, it's us.

We were way backed up on adding new blogs because we were very preoccupied with trying to keep the system up and reliable. At this point, the backend fixes have gone in and the system is much more stable. We also got around to adding a bunch of new blogs, and in the last couple of weeks, we've added over a 100 new PF blogs! We're now tracking over 300 blogs. Wow, the PF blogosphere is getting pretty big.

Thanks for everyone's patience!

I'd like to share my link as well regarding refinancing for your consideration. It's just getting started but I'm hoping to create a series about the subject as it is one of the things that every person should know especially in the current state of the economy. Please feel free to leave your comments or suggestions if you have any.

This system is still in beta and we need your help to make it better. If you have any suggestions or comments please drop us a note in this thread.

Feel free to suggest a blog for inclusion, especially your own. We plan on expanding this list indefinitely, so we’re not limiting ourselves to just 100 blogs.

_______________________

UPDATE 3/5/09 - Mention your Twitter usernames

Be sure to mention your Twitter username if you have one. We try to find it on your blogs, but sometimes we miss it.

_______________________

UPDATE 3/19/09 - Feedburner stats missing?

If the blog does not have a Feedburner feed and/or the public access to the Awareness API stats has been disabled, it will be shown as "-".

To enable the Feedburner Awareness API for your blog:

1. Login to your feedburner account, and navigate to your feed.
2. Click on the Publicize tab.
3. Click on the Awareness API option on the sidebar. Activate it.

Hi Will,

I would like to submit my Personal Finance Blog, http://www.thewisebuck.com to the list.

My Twitter user name is @thewisebuck

Thanks for considering my blog.

Mike
