Over on Concurring Opinions, Dave Hoffman (Temple) updates the law professor blog ranking project launched in March 2006 by Roger Alford (Pepperdine) on Opinio Juris (and blogged here). He ranks the Top 40 law professor blogs based on traffic (average daily visits as calculated by The Truth Laid Bear). The ranking includes only blogs that have at least one law professor as a regular blogger, and excludes blogs that focus entirely on politics or current events, and blogs that are not tracked by The Truth Laid Bear.  (An accompanying spreadsheet extends the rankings to the Top 50 law professor blogs).  Here are the Top 10, with the average daily visits:

1. Volokh Conspiracy (23,084)
2. Althouse (12,204)
3. Sentencing Law and Policy (4,066)
4. Balkinization (3,727)
5. Tax Prof Blog (3,619)
6. Concurring Opinions (2,737)
7. Brian Leiter’s Law School Reports (1,826)
8. Prawfsblawg (1,785)
9. Professor Bainbridge (1,683)
10. Sports Law Blog (1,107)

I am proud that thirteen of the Top 40, and fifteen of the Top 50, are members of our Law Professor Blogs Network.  The only other tax blog on the lists is Mauled Again (#40).
