The biggest change from the prior 12-month rankings is that InstaPundit no longer has a publicly available SiteMeter and thus is no longer included in these rankings. In absolute terms, the Top 35 blogs cumulative traffic (page views and visitors) is flat over the past 12 months.

Law Prof Blog Rankings by Citations in Journals and Judicial Opinions

Following up on my recent rankings of law professor blogs by traffic and 'stickiness': Dave Hoffman (Temple) ranks the Top 20 law blogs by citations in law reviews and the Top 15 law blogs by citations by courts (the spreadsheet with all the law blog data is here -- TaxProf Blog is #24 in citations in law reviews).  The only blogs on both citations lists are:

• Volokh Conspiracy (2, 3)
• Sentencing Law & Policy (7, 1)
• Prawfs Blawg (9, 5)
• Becker-Posner (10, 5)
• Technology Law & Marketing (17, 5)

The "Stickiest" Law Prof Blogs

Following up on yesterday's post, Law Prof Blog Rankings:  as others have pointed out, raw traffic numbers (visitors and page views) are only one of the measures of the influence of blogs.  "Stickiness' -- the amount of time readers spend on a blog -- also is an important metric.  Unfortunately, the SiteMeter measure -- Average Visit Length -- is problematic for at least two reasons.  First, it computes the average only for the most recent week.  Second, it begins counting the visit length only when a reader goes to a second page; if a reader stays on a single page, the visit is given a 0 visit length (no matter how long the reader lingers on that page).

From what I am told, Alexa uses a more sophisticated aproach in computing its Time on Site metric, which it measures over rolling weekly, monthly, and three-month periods.  Here are the three-month Time on Site data for the 25 of the Top 35 Law Prof blogs by traffic as measured by Alexa:

The "Stickiest" Law Prof Blogs

Following up on yesterday's post, Law Prof Blog Rankings:  as others have pointed out, raw traffic numbers (visitors and page views) are only one of the measures of the influence of blogs.  "Stickiness' -- the amount of time readers spend on a blog -- also is an important metric.  Unfortunately, the SiteMeter measure -- Average Visit Length -- is problematic for at least two reasons.  First, it computes the average only for the most recent week.  Second, it begins counting the visit length only when a reader goes to a second page; if a reader stays on a single page, the visit is given a 0 visit length (no matter how long the reader lingers on that page).

From what I am told, Alexa uses a more sophisticated aproach in computing its Time on Site metric, which it measures over rolling weekly, monthly, and three-month periods.  Here are the three-month Time on Site data for the 26 of the Top 35 Law Prof blogs by traffic as measured by Alexa:

	Blog	Time on Site	Traffic Rank
