I started the Yakezie Challenge 4/30/2014 with these stats:
Global: 596,199
US: 110,637
My July Goals:
Global: Break 75,000
US: Break 12,000
Aaaannd, here are my stats as of 8/5/14
Global: 79,305
US: 12,884
I was right, it does get harder the better your rank gets better! I didn’t hit my goals for the first time since starting the challenge but I’m ok with that.
Here are my goals for August:
Global: Break 75,000
US: Break 11,000

You’re still moving in the right direction! Keep up the good work! I started when my rank was so high there was no data available! My first number was around 10 million, I broke 300,000 this week! I know it will get harder, but I’m hoping to hit my goal of <200K by the end of the month!
I totally remember how terrible my rank was when I started the challenge in April! But, in those first months your rank gets better considerably faster! It looks like you’re making some good headway!
It seems like such hard work! I’ve watched as so many bloggers have gone through this since I started blogging last year and I couldn’t figure it out! I was seriously perplexed. Now I know, and am going to start myself!
Congrats on the progress you’ve made so far! I know what a ton of work it is. Hope you’re having fun with it!
You should definitely start! The Yakezie Challenge really helped me to focus on building my blog, and I saw some really awesome results!
Wow, good job! I feel like my blog is too new for this challenge. But, this sounds like a great way to build relationships in the blogging community!
Looks like you’re doing an awesome job to me even if you did miss your target. While I’m not (yet) a Yakezie contender, my rankings on Alexa are embarrassingly bad. Maybe when I get a *little* closer I’ll look to join in. Plenty of work to do before then though!
