Weekend Links: Introducing the Money Crasher Personal Finance Blog Ranking List

A new personal finance blog ranking list has launched by Money Crashers with another comprehensive group of money-related websites in the blogosphere. We personal finance bloggers can never complain about the increasing efforts to put ourselves on the map!

Money Crashers ranks the personal finance blogs with their own formula that produces a score based on these metrics:

• Feedburner subscribers
• Twitter followers
• Alexa rank
• Compete rank
• Technorati rank
• Google PageRank
• Yahoo! inbound links
• SEOmoz mozRank
• SEMRush Search Value

Currently, Realm of Prosperity is rolling with a rank of #185 out of 375. Not a bad spot – but, of course, up is where I’m looking. Additionally, this may open a new directory for potential advertisers to seek out blogs for advertising opportunities as WiseBread’s blog list has done for many other bloggers.

Check out the list here and browse through the many other awesome personal finance blogs around.

On to some great posts that are very much deserving of your attention:

• The Essential Power of Surrounding Yourself With Like-Minded People… at Man vs. Debt. A smoother path to accomplishing goals is to have the company of those with the same goals. The positive reinforcement from the pool of like-minded people drives the flow of success!
• Minimalism Begets Manliness at The Art of Manliness. Take another look at the side of life that gives a cold shoulder to the material world. Along with wise words from some of the most influential men ever, lets see the things of greater value than money.

Yakezie Shoutouts:

• Take 2.5 years off from work at The Wealth Artisan. This article offers an enlightening perspective by taking a mathematical approach to showing how much time we give up by not being a little more proactive on repaying our debts. The number may be slightly mind-numbing but it hits home!
• Do You Have A Debt Buddy? at Delivery Away Debt. Sharing one’s personal debt is very much like delving into one’s age or salary – matters that some prefer to keep private. But, if there is someone who you can talk to about debt, that person can be a source of encouragement (like the friend in the gym who pushes you to try harder).
