TaxProf Blog Crosses 3,000,000-Visitor Mark

After 39 months in operation, TaxProf Blog has crossed the 3,000,000-visitor mark. To put that number in perspective, it is the most visitors to any law-focused blog edited by a single law professor, according to publicly-available traffic statistics. (It is also 2,995,000 more than the number of downloads of all of my articles!) Doug Berman's Sentencing Law & Policy Blog, part of our Law Professors Blogs Network, has received the most page views (4.6 million) of any law-focused blog edited by a single law professor. (I discuss other law professor blog traffic statistics in my forthcoming introduction to our Bloggership: How Blogs Are Transforming Legal Scholarship symposium,  Are Scholars Better Bloggers? , 84 Wash. U. L. Rev. ___ (2007)).

During TaxProf Blog's 39 months of operation, I have made over 8,300 posts to the blog, readers have posted over 4,000 comments, and other bloggers have linked to TaxProf Blog over 2,200 times. 

The 3,000,000th visitor came to TaxProf Blog from the Perkins Coie law firm in Seattle at 12:29 p.m EST yesterday.  He/she stayed for 13 minutes and 5 seconds (I wonder if that was billable time!).

We are grateful to our growing number of regular readers and hope you are finding the blog helpful in your tax research, teaching, practice, and policymaking roles.
