In response to various competitions and rankings of the best legal blogs, the Avvo Blog has created an auto-updating list of the top 300 legal blogs, ordered by their traffic rankings as shown by Web information company Alexa. Because the list is regularly updated, the rankings vary. At the moment, this blog, LawSites, is ranked at #30 and a blog I co-author, Legal Blog Watch, is ranked #24. The two top-ranked blogs are Above the Law and The Volokh Conspiracy.

This list has two problems.
First, garbage in, garbage out. The rankings are based on Alexa, which attracted a certain type of person in its heyday — and is now long past its heyday.

Second, the list claims to be transparent, but someone made a call about which blogs to include. How was this decision made?
I welcome all new lists, but I don’t see much transparency here (no pun intended).
