Greedy Trial Lawyer
Overlawyered And Tort Deform Are Cleaning My Clock
Category: Seeing Clearly Now
Readership, viewership, page views, rankings - these matters keep my greedy body awake at nights. I mean, the competition is tough out there in the blogosphere. My crack team of internet professionals estimate that on any given day an average of 2 people come to my blog. (I believe one of those is me.) The average visit lasts 26 seconds. I am being told any chance for a book deal or made-for-TV movie is out the window at stats like this.
My ultimate goal for Greedy Trial Lawyer is to morph into an entire product line of action figures and shiny men's suits. Why am I sharing this with you today? Well, apparently, some other legal blogs are likely to get to the cash register before me unless I ramp up my numbers pretty quickly.
These numbers for Tort Deform and Overlawyered blow my mind:
Blog Traffic & Hubris: Tort Deform v. Overlawyered
The question of blog traffic is always an interesting one.How much does your traffic reflect the importance of your discussion or the level of support for your point of view? Perhaps, not at all.
In any event, it's often hard to gauge how much traffic a blog actually has, and I believe that discussion of other blogs' traffic isn't really at the core of the worth of each side's arguments.
Interestingly, Overlawyered.com, our primary tort "reform" counterpart in the blogosphere, has criticized Tort Deform as "unimportant" because, as they saw it, we have a modest readership.
While I say again that I don't believe readership is directly linked to the worth of a viewpoint, given the fact that Overlawyered.com has attacked this site on account of its perception of our readership, and in light of the fact that Overlawyered.com recently made a post praising its own readership, a comparison is in order.
Last month, during its fourth full month in existence, Tort Deform had 127,349 page views.
According to Overlawyered's post on its estimate of its page views it is currently at about 2 million each year. Two million page views a year puts Overlawyered's monthly page views at 166,666. That number puts the current readership of Tort Deform at 76.4% of Overlawyered's.
These guys are ahead of Rush Limbaugh while I am below Mother Teresa.
