Yeah, it’s almost the end of September, but I realized I never posted my top referrer info for August, so here it is!

Traffic Sources

At a high level:

Search Engines: 60%

Referring Sites: 26%

Direct Traffic: 14%

Top Personal Finance Blog Referrers

You’ll see last month’s rank after the new rank in (). If they weren’t ranked last month, you’ll see a (-).

  1. (1) The Simple Dollar (with a full 8% of my traffic)
  2. (-) MSN Smart Spending
  3. (2) My Money Blog
  4. (3) Cheap Healthy Good
  5. (7) Five Cent Nickel
  6. (5) Frugal Dad
  7. (4) Wise Bread
  8. (6) Budgets are Sexy
  9. (8) Free Money Finance
  10. (-) Single Guy Money

Not a lot of shakeup, but MSN Smart Spending did make it back onto the list by featuring my “cheapskate wedding” article. Thanks!

See you in another week for September’s recap!
