Top 100 Personal Finance BlogsUpdated on Oct 01, 2009: Welcome back to our rankings of personal finance (pf) blogs for Sep 2009 based on traffic data of Aug 2009. It's our second anniversary of these rankings. Wow! Time flies by so fast :).

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."

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 (Aug 2009) from corresponding sources.
