RES IPSA HITS 80,000,000

crowd vj dayThis morning, Res Ipsa passed the 80,000,000 mark in views on the blog.  We have used these moments to give thanks for our many regular readers around the world and share our traffic data to give you an idea of the current profile of readers around the world. We do not have a running data page so these periodic postings allow our community to see the traffic profile of our blog. Because of the growth of the blog, we have gone from million to five million view markers. So let’s get at it.

As always, I want to offer special thanks for Darren Smith, who has continued to help manage the blog and help out folks who encounter posting problems.  I also want to thank our editors Kristin Oren and Hartwell Harrison for their amazing work proofing posts on a daily basis to remove my embarrassing typos (as well as others who alert me to typos or any violations of the civility or copyright policies on the blog). They have greatly improved the quality of this blog.

In 2023, we posted another record year in traffic and appear likely to exceed that number in 2024.

So here is our current profile:

As of this morning, we have  21,774 posts and 1,348,278 comments. We have also continued our steady rise on X and currently show over 653,000 followers.  We have over 20,300 people who follow us on WordPress (doubling the number of followers in roughly the last six months) and by direct emails (which you can subscribe to with the box on the right side of the blog home page).

In the last month, our ten biggest international sources for readers came from:

  1. United States
  2. Canada
  3. Australia
  4. United Kingdom
  5. Germany
  6. New Zealand
  7. France
  8. Netherlands
  9. Unknown Region
  10. Japan

The top five posts in terms of readership in the last 30 days were:

  1. Congratulations! It is my favorite blog, I follow it on X and I am subscribed. I have learned a lot during this year about law, culture and history of the United States, I love the approach to political issues and everything you write about the current state of our Universities, it helped me a lot in determining that my daughter would go to study Europe! 80 M and counting, Cheers!

  2. Your blog is one of my daily enjoyments. Your honesty is an answer to prayer.

  3. Among the commentary to which I look forward most mornings, Professor Turley’s is top of the list.

  5. I’m sorry to say but New Yorkers have the government they deserve. They have Hochul and Bragg and James … and now Officer Diller’s wife is a widow. They could have chosen Lee Zeldin and other sane grownups, but they voted for Hochul and chaos and insanity, so now that’s what they have. You can’t fix stupid.

  6. Congratulations, Professor Turley! May your blog gain double the readership as people read your book!

  7. Well deserved! Always learn something new introduced to make you think vs propaganda
    Sincere Thanks

  8. The one commentator I read every comment is Jonathan Turley. He is the most logical, civil and least political speaker with whom I agree.

  9. Another reason not to respond to the Resident Shills is, if you respond with something silly or clever, then it disappears into the Internet Ether when their comment gets deleted. I wish the mods here had the time to just replace the comment with [comment deleted], that way the responses would not all go away/

    2. On the other hand, all those clever ripostes out of context would look like non sequiturs.
