Lawyer directories : LinkedIn has looks of winner

Martindale-Hubbell is the definitive lawyer directory. True or false. Well, false.

The correct answer is LinkedIn. Martindale.com, Martindale’s lawyer directory, lawyers.com, and FindLaw.com (total traffic, not just lawyers.findlaw.com directory) can’t hold a candle to LinkedIn..

Legal marketing pro, Steve Matthews, reports 98,000 more lawyers have added profiles to LinkedIn in the last two months. This brings the total number of lawyer profiles at LinkedIn to ‘an incredible 216,000.’As of May 2008, LinkedIn site traffic was at 5.6 million visitors per month, and was growing at an annual growth rate of 351%. LinkedIn has more than 20 million registered users, spanning 150 industries.
