Ok. Here are the results. But what you have to do now is compete for the best, without thinking about what somebody else think about your blog.

Cheers,

Why doesn’t Kiplinger’s just come up with a “Top 100 PF Blogs” article? Then we’d ALL be happy!!

PFBlog.com was the first place I commented on Free Money Finance. I took him kind of to task, as I recall. Five Cent Nickel too.

He does have 50k readers.

Maybe next year.

Interesting that the site you mentioned is the ‘best’ when I had never heard of it. Guess I need to check it out.

Even though PFBlog has definitely become more infrequently updated, it’s still the most important blog on my Google homepage for one very subjective reason and one reason only – it inspires the heck out of me. He keeps plugging away, believes in his goal, and makes a crazy amount of money, at least by my standards.

As far as daily reads, I most definitely agree that there is more up-to-date content out there, but then again who here limits his/her self to just one blog?

They’ve definitely missed the mark on this one. PFblog was the first personal finance blog I ever found (coincidentally, after reading about it in Kiplingers while sitting in the doctor’s office), but I have to agree with JLP that over the past year or so, it has been quite a bore. Really, ever since he moved to China the blog has been mostly irrelevant, not to mention the lack of content over the past year. Other blogs that I regularly read and find to be better include Free Money Finance, All Financial Matters, My Money Blog, Free Money Finance, Five Cent Nickel, and Consumerism Commentary. Keep up the good work people.

PFBlog.com was actually the first PF blog that I read (and or found out about), while I found it to be a good resource, my understanding of the definition of Blog is that it is UPDATED REGULARLY – so If kiplingers just called it the best PF website, I don’t think there would be much room to argue -

i’ll check it out. anything remotely promoting you know what, and i’ll have to move on. i think, i say modestly, i’m a good resource on this personal finance web site thing – having been in the financial services biz from ’79 – till retirement in 2004. proponent in you have to do this yourself. have recommended financial websites to everyone who i thought could benefit since the web was born. used to look at a site called suite101.com daily till they migrated to facebook.com. now i look at that one and this one. imho, one can get all the financial black and white info s/he needs anywhere on the web. what i’ve had a need for over the years, is answers to questions like should i pay off my mortgage, convert trasitional ira to roth, and tax questions etc…

Paul,

It has NOTHING to do with jealousy. I don’t even think my blog is the BEST personal finance blog.

Jealousy is very unbecoming.
