I have to congratulate Robert Stacy McCain and the soon-to-be-departed Smitty on having over 5,000,000 hits to The Other McCain. Perhaps it’s because Smitty is getting ready for a little Uncle Sam-paid-for trip to a country ending in “-stan” to do for the Uncle what he does for Stacy, but Lance Burri beat them to the celebratory punch.
Herewith, a brief primer on how to make hits translate to respect among the blogging community – Carpe diem. Of course, that hasn’t exactly worked for me; all I’ve ever been is a faceless face in the crowd, and at last check I’m somewhere around 1/20th as popular as Stacy (full disclosure; I don’t publicize the hits number because it is more-easily gamed than visitors, and I’ve been doing this longer than he has). Seriously, if I ever got in charge of running a New Media conference, one of the first four people I’d ask to be on the headlining panel is Stacy (and yes, there would be at least 4 people on said headlining panel).
Hmmm, I wonder what being the support staff for The Other McCain pays….

The psychic income is ethereal.
