Wow, it looks like things are really growing. I just discovered this blog recently and I like the quality of content. I’m also a big fan of smaller blogs, the major players like Problogger are so intimidating
Congrats on your growth. I’ve picked up several helpful ideas from reading your posts.
Seriously it has taken me 5 months of blogging to grow to the same size it took you to get in 3 months. If you have a recipe for your secret “blog growth potion” please share!
@Troy - Things are looking great, especially for a secondary blog (I have 3 blogs in total). I look forward to seeing you a lot around here.
@Adfecto - Thank you. I am glad it’s helpful. As far as growth, we all grow at different rates. I have friends who grew their blogs even faster than I did. I think the things that really helped were guest posting on bigger blogs and hosting various carnivals.
Congratulations on the sucessful launch of your new blog, it’s doing really well so fast!
Thanks for the link.

Congratulations on your awesome stats and also, the kind mention. MindBlogger really appreciates it.
This is a really cool idea for every blogger to employ and reach out to the invisible masses! I will credit you for the inspiration if I happen to employ the same thing:)
Will be watching you.
Cheers!
Congrats! It’s always great watching your stats improve, isn’t it? There’s just something about knowing your efforts are not going unnoticed that makes a blogger’s day.
@debtdieter - Thank you. There’s a lot of support from all the contributors, readers, and bloggers. It’s always good to see a blog take off.
@Mike - No problem. Thank you for contributing an excellent article to the blog.
@MindBlogger - Thank you. A few of personal finance bloggers do this monthly, so I carry it over to Blogthority. I didn’t realize that it’s an uncommon thing in this niche.
@Raivyn - Thank you and yes, I am a stat addict. I know the unnoticed feeling.
