February was a record month for traffic once again. Most exciting was that it was a short month so I have high hopes for March! RSS readers increased by another 100 for the second month in a row. I certainly hope to keep gaining new readers at this great pace!
The biggest news this month was the addition of Alan Schram to Canadian Finance Blog. He adds a great personal perspective to all his personal finance articles and I’m glad to have him join me as a writer! With the gaining popularity of Canadian Finance Blog, I also appreciate all the guest posts we’ve been receiving. Guest posts are a great way for bloggers to gain some exposure and links, or for anyone to share their knowledge with our readers. If you would like to submit a guest post, please contact me from the site or on Twitter.
This past month I participated in a couple interviews. Canadian Money Advisor recorded a podcast interview and Clarifinancial included me in their Fresh Perspective series. Thanks to both Monty and Aaron for taking the time to interview me. I had a great time and hope to do more of these in the future!
@CanadianFinance was included by Money Sense as one of the twitter accounts to follow! It’s an honour since I’ve been a big fan of Money Sense and they helped to inspire this blog. My second post on this site was about their magazine and the Couch Potato strategy.
Canadian Finance Blog has recently joined The Yakezie Alexa Challenge. Started by Financial Samurai, this challenge encourages all the members to help each other improve their blog’s Alexa rating. Alexa measures website traffic, similar to Nielsen ratings for television. Readers can help out by installing the Alexa Toolbar. Not only will your visits to websites help their ratings, but the toolbar also gives you interesting insight to related links and what’s popular at that moment.
As I mentioned last week, Canadian Finance Blog has been nominated for two Plutus Awards, Best Canadian Personal Finance Blog and Best Designed Personal Finance Blog. Hopefully on the March Top 5 I’ll be able to post that we won at least one of those categories. You can help out by voting here!
