Thank You For Making Us A Top PFBlog

This week, Will and Greg at Wise Bread announced that they’ve upgraded their Top 100 Personal Finance blogs rankings to include a variety of metrics and offer incredible sorting capabilities. I’m a firm believer that hard work should be rewarded and in the currency of the web, that reward should be in links.
I’m a little biased though… because by many metrics, Bargaineering is recognized as one of the top personal finance blogs. It’s one of the top sites because of you. Thank you. Thank you for visiting every day. Thank you for printing out articles and emailing them to your friends. Thank you for subscribing to the feed so you get posts piped directly to your email for free. When this site started four years ago, there were only five personal finance blogs – today there are hundreds of thousands. It’s grown by leaps and bounds, far more than I ever imagines, and I am honored that this site is one that you all come back to every day.
At the end of the day, we’re in this together. I’m glad to have been able to provide the platform for this burgeoning community on the web but I’m even happier that so many of you have joined me and bought into it. I’ve been very happy seeing the Bargaineering Forums grow as quickly as they have. I wanted it to be a place where communication would be a lot easier than in blog comments and you haven’t disappointed. Over a hundred members in the short time it’s been up, thank you so much! If you haven’t joined yet, please do, you get the expertise of a hundred people rather than the limited expertise of one. 
Before this lovefest gets too carried away, I wanted to wish you all a happy weekend. I think I’m just sappy because my wife and I are celebrating our one year anniversary in Disney (those following on Twitter, you should join Twitter!, were getting some Tweets about it but normally I stick with breaking news or more useful financial information).
Have a great weekend!

Glad to see you are getting the recognition you deserve, you do a great job and we all appreciate the work you do.
Just remember, we wouldn’t come back and visit all the time if you weren’t so good at what you do. Keep up the great work Jim, and congrats on the recognition.
Hi! I’ve been a “lurker” for some time but saw that you made the top 100! You make some great posts (although I don’t know about that dumpster diving though) so it couldn’t have happened to a better site.
Glad to see others succeed, it gives hope to the rest of us. Nice work and keep it up. We wouldnt visit if the content wasnt at the quality level it is.
Congrats, Jimbo. You deserve it.
Your blog is really great Jim and it’s great to see that others are recognizing that.
The best part of building the top PF blogs listing was discovering a bunch of great PF blogs I haven’t been reading. The PF blogosphere is awesome.
Jim – Thanks for the link! Bargaineering’s ranking is just a reflection of the quality content you’ve consistently provided. It’s relatively easy to knock out one great article. To do it year after year is amazing. And kudos for being an innovative PF blog — your Devil’s Advocate posts are always thought provoking and unique in the PF blogosphere.
Thanks Greg, I appreciate your kind words. You have quite a talented and innovative crew at Wise Bread too!
Congratulations Jim!! Your blog brings up many great ideas & topics. I wish you continued success.
Congratulations on the recognition, I saw the list the other day, and I hope you have a wonderful time at Disney with your wife.
Congrats to you and your blog. It was a well deserved recognition. It really was very inspiring.
