Posted by DebtKid :: October 30, 2007 @ 12:21 pmIn the past few years, blogging about money and finance issues has become quite popular. It seems that while discussing money is still somewhat taboo in casual conversation, blogs are pushing the envelope online, discussing and dispensing financial advice on a daily basis.
Our Top 30 list is the cream of the PF (personal finance) blog crop. We used the following metrics to determine the rankings:
1. Blog subscribers (do people read this blog often?)
2. Technorati rank (do people link to this blog?)
3. Compete.com traffic estimations (do people actually visit this blog?)
4. Page strength (determines the relative importance and visibility of a webpage)
** Note. if you think we missed a good personal finance blog, or would like your blog to be considered in the next update of this list, please leave a comment on this post and we'll consider it in the next update. Thanks! **
The Top 30 Most Popular Personal Finance Blogs
Honorable Mention
These guys didn’t quite make the top 30, but they are worth taking a look at as well:
The Lending Club blog didn’t quite make the top 30, but it did make the honorable mention list! Make sure and subscribe to the Lending Club blog here in addition to checking out our Top 30 list.

Nice way of determining the relative positions of the blogs. I don't follow pf blogs anymore, but I came across this list on Digg.
I used to read this one as well:
www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com
Subscribers:
Technorati: 9757 (447 authority)
Compete: 33430 people
Strength: 5.5 / 10
I'm not affiliated in any way with that blog by the way. Just thought it was nice to get the stats.
I see lots of favorites on there. I read Get Rich Slowly and several others daily.
Should savingadvice and PFAdvice both me on the list? They're the same blog.
Also, PFBlog.com seems awfully high on the list. His subscribers must be skewing his results.
I meant to say "be" not "me."
I'd be interested to know how you formulated this list. There are a few other blogs I was surprised you didn't include here such as: Money, Matter and More Musings (http://www.thetaoofmakingmoney.com), genxfinance.com and moneysmartlife.com. I have to point out that thetaoofmakingmoney.com is a pretty popular pf site definitely up there in the rankings :).
