The College Investor 2 Year Anniversary

September 21, 2011

I can’t believe that The College Investor has just recently passed it’s two year anniversary!  Its crazy how fast it’s gone!  It is also cool to look back and see just how much the site has grown over the last two years.  Especially since I struggled through my first year of blogging without a clue as to what I was really doing!  Thanks to some help from the Yakezie Network, I really started figuring it out!

Some fun stats:

Unique visitors in September 2009: 35
Unique visitors in August 2011: 8,170

Pageviews in September 2009: 135
Pageviews in August 2011: 13,245

This week, I’m also giving away a free copy of Hill Harper’s The Wealth Cure.  Please stop by and enter the giveaway.

I also wanted to highlight some of my favorite posts from way back when I first started.  I hope you find them useful, as I found them pretty fun to go back and look at!  Here are some great tools and ways to make and save money!

I also want to thank those that have helped me make it this far!  Here are my top all time referrers from another blog:

  1. Yakezie
  2. Smart Passive Income
  3. Funny About Money
  4. 20 Something Finance
  5. Len Penzo

Thank you everyone for a great 2 years!
