Stacie’s More Tax Tips Makes a Top Something or Other List

Seems like I am always reading someones top something… tax/accounting/business  list and it always makes me wonder – just how does someone get on this list anyway?????

Like for example take  Accounting Today/Tomorrow/WebCPA.  This group publishes a top 100 most influential people in the accounting industry list.  Every year I read it over and wonder –  how do they decide who is “most influential” anyway?  I mean really, is this a scientific thing?  Are there compliance criteria – like a PPC guide “How to Determine the Most Influential People in Accounting” – we are talking about accountants here – I assume there’s a checklist?

I do hope its more scientific than just a bunch of journalists sitting around a conference table, sipping coffee and munching on donuts while someone writes names on a white board.   Just picture it, a bunch of bored staff writers some twisting slightly in their chairs, some lounging about, others lazily calling out names.  Then someone says, “hey cross off Sally Johnson, she was rude to me at blah blah conference. she doesn’t make it this year.” Yowser,I hope it doesn’t work like that!!!

Recently, I’ve been contacted by a “.com site” or two.  These sites were letting me know that I could be listed on a top something list….so –be sure to mention it at Stacie’s More Tax Tips- wont you?

While I get how this whole quid pro quo thingy works, I have declined 100% of the “link to us, we’ll link to you” offers.  I’ve even turned down click for payment offers because I didn’t think the link topics where appropriate for my my site.

But you know what, I’ve decided that gosh darn my blog is interesting.. And yes siree, I deserve to be on a top anything list.. And, it has absolutely nothing to do with quid pro quo.  Nope, they of course see the genius that is my blog and feel compelled to share. So thanks to bschool.com for naming Stacie’s More Tax Tips in the 50 best Blogs to Get You Through Tax Season.

Oh by the way, the picture is of me and the grandbaby enjoying Christmas day with the family!

Darn. It appears I did not make the top 50 accounting blogs compiled by Biz-Lerner. However, it’s okay – There is always next year.

But wait, Liz Gold over at the WebCPA and the author of the Accounting Tomorrow Blog has given Stacie’s More Tax Tips and a few lucky others some nods.

“And while we certainly think the list is comprehensive – we’d also add Jennifer
Wilson’s Inspired Ideas, Stacie’s More Tax Tips, JasonBlumer’s Thriveal and a new blog we just heard about via Michelle Golden – Farm CPA Today, written by Paul Neiffer.”

Thanks Liz as always for being a champion of Stacie’s More Tax Tips. And I agree, Inspired Ideas, Thriveal, and Farm CPA Today are all worthy Blogs.

MORE PEOPLE TO THANK
But ya know, my thanks would be incomplete if I didn’t mention all the other worthy bloggers who have made me feel all warm and fuzzy throughout this year.

Robert Flach over at the Wandering Tax Pro and his twice weekly Buzz is a constant champion and source of interesting well written Tax topics – thanks to Robert for all his support. Confession – I am always a little disappointed when I don’t make the Buzz cut.

Thanks to Bruce over at The Missouri Tax Guy for your many mentions. Without your retweets, many of my posts would go unnoticed.

I felt like I had won the prize when Dan Meyer at Tickmarks named Stacie’s More Tax Tips as one of his Twelve Blogs of Christmas. Thanks Dan! I have enjoyed your posts.

Mary O’Keeffe, over at Bed buffaloes in your tax code pretty much kicked my a-s with her responses to my posts regarding the cosmetic surgery tax. Thanks Mary for being interested enough to explain what I wasn’t getting.

I particularly like the wit displayed by Monica Lawver, at Confessions of a CPA her working mom posts always make me nod my head and say, Yep I get that. Thanks for the mentions.

And thanks to all the other wonderful sites and bloggers who have found something I have written interesting enough to mention or to comment on a post [I sure do hope I didn’t forget anybody]:
