Top Personal Finance Blogs

Hi All,

I've never discussed them before - but now is as good a time as any to discuss them.  What am I talking about you ask?  Personal Finance Blogs.

Doing a Google search for the phrase 'personal finance blog' gets you some ridiculous number of hits (actually 324,000,000 - that's 324 million....) which is utterly useless.

However - the top result is the one I'd like to discuss today.  The link goes to a site called Wisebread.  That site has a ranking - always changing, always updated - of 100 Most Popular Personal Finance Blogs.  Bingo! Score! Ka'ching!

So, what exactly is Wisebread? It is a site that compiles ranking for the 100 Most Popular Personal Finance Sites.  And it compiles the rankings based on other websites popularity.  Other sites included are: mozRank, Linking Domains, Klout Score, Twitter Followers, Alexa rank and Facebook Likes.  All in all this is a fairly accurate to guage the popularity of these personal finance blogs.

So, what are the top 10 sites? Starting with number one and working down to the tenth most popular site they are....

1. Consumerist
2. Wise Bread
3. The Krazy Coupon Lady
4. Money Saving Mom
5. Get Rich Slowly
6. I Will Teach You to Be Rich
7. Deal Seeking Mom
8. The Simple Dollar
9. Money Crashers
10. Hey, It's Free!

Enjoy the sites - I hope they are interesting to you!

Top Personal Finance Blogs

Hi All,

I don't regularly blog about finance topics - they are too complicated and rife with possible pratfalls and mistakes.  But....some time ago I came across a site called Wise Bread.  The Wise Bread FAQ describes the site 'as a community of bloggers...to help you live large on a small budget.'

Readers can subscribe to Wise Bread, become a fan on Facebook or visit the Wise Bread website.

One of the more impressive sections of the website is the 'Top Personal Finance Blogs' section. What is fairly unique about the site is that they rank personal finance blogs.  How do they do this you ask?  Excellent question. 

The ranking of the 'Top Personal Finance Blogs' is calculated sing six third party measurements that measure a blogger's influence and reach. Issues such as social media influence, link profile and traffic rank are addresed by the Wise Bread 'Wise Score'. 

That all being said, essentially the Wise Bread 'Wise Score' ranking can be thought of as 'the percentage of the Personal Finance blogosphere that a particular blog outranks'.  Click here for even more information.

So, what are the top 5 personal finance blogs according to Wise Bread?  Click on the link and you'll go to the summary page from Wise Bread for the particular personal finance blog.

1. Consumerist
2. Wise Bread (self serving - I'll go to number 6)
3. Money Saving Mom
4. The Krazy Coupon Lady
5. Get Rich Slowly
6. I Will Teach You To Be Rich

Enjoy the sites - hope they are helpful.
