I have created blog surveys before, with minimal response rates. So I’m not sure if I’d have the same results with blawgs. Because of this, I’d like to know if blawggers would be interested in participating in, and learning from a survey of legal blogs.
Since blawgs are so unique, yet so varied, I’d like to learn more about what approaches blawggers are taking with their blogs:
- Individual vs. Firm blogs- Are most blawgs property of an individual and operated outside of a firm’s control?
- Update Frequency- How often do most blawggers post?
- Promotion- What sources are blawggers using to promote their site? (blawg.org, Technorati, etc?)
- Training- Are blawggers receiving any type of education (either marketing or technical) on blogging?
- Lead Generation- Are blawggers finding a return on investment by obtaining new clients?
- Statistical Benchmarks- What statistics programs are most used by blawggers, and which benchmarks are used to judge their success?
Please let me know if you’d be interested in a survey.

I’d be happy to participate and I’d be interested to see quantitative data on blawgs, which seems somewhat lacking (e.g. http://geeklawyer.org/blog/2005/10/11/blawging-hits-the-big-media/).

I’d love to participate. A blog for a law firm could be a way they establish their voice or expertise in certain areas and thus garner potential client and recruit leads. Recruits will also be attracted to the ‘hip’ factor. I’d like to know if your survey will prove me right or wrong.

Yes I am interested.
