At the Debt Free Squad we will be reviewing one financial website a month that we have personally bookmarked and refer to often for financial information. Alexa, the web information company gives Money Crashers a Global rank of 27,947 and a U.S. rank of 6,356. This is out of over 250 million websites worldwide. Another impressive stat is that they have over 850 other websites linking back to them.
What sparked my interest in this website was the amount of information and articles of content on the home page. There are hundreds of financial posts for your reading pleasure to educate individuals in making wise choices about credit and debt, investing, education, real estate, insurance, spending and more. One of their recent most popular articles is Extreme Couponing 101 written by David Bibby. Money Crashers has a staff of freelance writers that really add variety to this site, one is Angela Colley from New Orleans, Louisiana and she offers a huge range of posts on the site to help individuals and families save money.
The mission of the two founders, Andrew Schrage (25) and Gyutae Park (26) is to develop a community of people who try to make financially sound decisions. Check out their eleven indispensable principles on the about page. They also are one of the few sites to have a list of the Top 500 personal finance blogs. They use a variety of important metrics when ranking sites on their list. Debt Free Squad started in July of 2011 and has moved up to a ranking of 393 as of October 2011. We can easily see the areas we need to improve to make our site more popular including social media, traffic and getting links back to our site.
If you own a financial website or blog consider getting on their list and displaying the ranking badge. When I contacted Andrew and Gyutae to take a look at our new site and offer a few comments they both immediately replied to my email. I am very impressed and offer kudos to two young, cutting edge business entrepreneurs. Take a look at this informative financial website.
