24,000,000

220px-Bundesarchiv_B_145_Bild-F079012-0030,_Berlin,_Michael_Jackson-Konzert,_WartendeLast September, we passed the 23,000,000 mark and today we hit 24,000,000. We have used these moments to give thanks for our many regular readers around the world and give you an idea of the current profile of readers on the blog. We continue to rank in the top legal blogs in the world and I am particularly gladdened by the growing international readership. As always, I want to offer special thanks for our weekend contributors: Mike Appleton, Larry Rafferty, Charlton Stanley, Darren Smith, and Kimberly Dienes. The increasing traffic on the site is gratifying and reaffirms that there are many people looking for mature and civil debate. Even among the top ten sites, I believe that we offer a unique forum of different views and backgrounds in the discussion of law and politics (and a few quirky items).

In the last 30 days, our ten biggest international sources for readers came from

1. United States
2. Canada
3. United Kingdom
4. Australia
5. Germany
6. France
7. India
8. The Netherlands
9. China
10 Mexico

The list has remained unchanged except France moved ahead of India and China has made it into the top ten despite the limitations on Internet access.

The top ten posted in terms of readership in the last 30 days were:

1. TURLEY AGREES TO SERVE AS LEAD COUNSEL FOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE

2. Why is it Illegal to Feed the Homeless?

3. The Purging of Professor Gruber: ACA Architect Disavowed In The Beltway

4. FSU Shooter Identified As Lawyer And Former Prosecutor Myron May [Updated]

5 HOUSE FILES CHALLENGE OVER THE CHANGES TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT

6. 10 Reasons The U.S. Is No Longer The Land Of The Free

7. Looting Breaks Out In Ferguson After Grand Jury Refuses Charges Against Wilson

8. Obamacare Architect States That The Law Was Only Passed Due To “The Lack of Transparency” and The “Stupidity of the American Voter” UPDATED

9. FERGUSON AND THE MEANING OF “JUSTICE”

I am particularly happy to report that the second most popular story this cycle was written by our weekend blogger Lawrence E. Rafferty.

The most frequent commentators in the last 1000 comments were:

  1. Zack, don’t blame Professor Turley about the site getting more conservative commenters.

    Nothing has changed. You can’t have a reasoned discussion with a liberal.

  2. Great job! Must be a lot of libertarians throughout the world. Keep up the great job you are doing.

  3. I’m a newby like Maureen and enjoy this blog immensely. Reading what others have to say or think about current events and politics. Each man is his own absolute lawgiver and dispenser of glory or gloom to himself, the maker of his life, his reward, his punishment. Professor Turley’s blog offers the reader his or her opportunity to be able to offer their own prospective of events without fear of being attacked or judged for it. You can be as deep on a subject as you want or offer a little comical differing opinion. I enjoy each person’s words and the articulation of how those words are presented on here in opinion. Thank you Professor Turley, not only are you brilliant, you give us all a chance to participate in the art of your brilliance! 🙂

  5. Rafflaw … vis a vis the post idea…Saturday is coming up shortly and I am looking at you 🙂

  6. What rafflaw said vis a vis Don de Drain’s link regarding “bail ins” … that should scare all of us. It would be a great topical post.
