Top 100 Personal Finance Blogs
[This post is written and copyrighted by FIRE Finance (http://firefinance.blogspot.com).]

Note: Please do not be misguided by this post's date i.e. Sep 2007. We've published May 2009's rankings at the same url as Sep 2007's rankings. This will benefit those who had linked to this post since fresh monthly rankings will be available at the same url. Unfortunately Blogger does not allow static pages, so the past date (url) of this post will stay. But the content will be updated every month.

Top 100 Personal Finance BlogsUpdated on May 29, 2009: Welcome back to our rankings of personal finance (pf) blogs for May 2009 based on traffic data of April 2009. It requires a lot of hard and smart work to figure among the best personal finance blogs. Heartiest congratulations to all those who made it to our list of "Top 100 Personal Finance Blogs." Our next ranking of PF Blogs will be released in August 2009.

As you may have noticed, there are some discrepancies in Quantcast and Compete's results. This may be due to the fact that many sites have not implemented requisite trackers and plugins (details are here). It makes sense to go through with the implementations to make this game an even playing field.

The following tables show traffic rankings of individual and group personal finance blogs respectively based on monthly traffic data (Apr 2009) from corresponding sources.
