After less than 4 1/2 years in operation, TaxProf Blog has crossed the 5,000,000-visitor mark. (We crossed the 4,000,000-visitor mark less than six months ago.) 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 4,993,422 more than the number of number of downloads of all of my articles!)  For more on law professor blog traffic data, see here and here.

I have made over 11,700 posts to the blog, readers have posted 9,000 comments, and other bloggers have linked to the blog over 2,800 times.

The 5,000,000th visitor came to TaxProf Blog from Los Angeles, California at 11:33 p.m. EST yesterday.

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