Several weeks ago, I was approached by J.D. of Get Rich Slowly to write a guest post about by monthly financial statements. I wrote an article and it was posted at GRS on November 15. In the image below representing my traffic — green is the unique visitor count and purple is the page view count — you should see a small spike on that date.

Consumerism Commentary stats

The larger spike took place about one week later, mostly an effect of the article being picked up LifeHack.org. Most of the traffic was likely directed to the article at Get Rich Slowly rather than Consumerism Commentary.

There seems to be continuing interest in the article, so I will be reposting it, slightly re-edited, on my home blog. Here’s the original on Get Rich Slowly and here is How to Be the CFO of Your Own Life (to be posted later this morning) on Consumerism Commentary. Perhaps the repost will be picked up from some other heavily trafficked sites; I’ll follow up afterwards.

    Well, I think most of that traffic came from Lifehacker. Lifehacker linked to my site but not to yours (which was odd). Lifehack followed up with a more in-depth article, and in the process linked directly to your site, which was nice. I like this concept for a blog…

    Thanks, J.D.
