Our traffic court directory is doing well. The Alexa "rank" is approaching #600,000 (i.e. the 600,000th busiest site on the web). By comparison our law firm site is ranked over 2,000,000. Alexa is not perfect, but it's in the ballpark. Within the US the site is now within the top 100,000 websites.
We've added a lot of traffic courts in Ohio. So far not many people are going to the Cincinnati Traffic Court page, but that will probably pick up. We also have substantial progress with Virginia traffic courts, which is now the third busiest state page on the site.
We've revised the underlying code to enhance security along with making our work on administration of the site easier. We are working on the "lawyer's club" feature, and hope to have that up and running within a few months.
We now have well over 2000 courts in the database with courts in 11 states. We have several attorney advertisers and make substantial revenue from Google ads as well. We actually had a profit for 2007 (though not much), and we are optimistic about the future of the website.

Virginia Traffic Court and DMV fees
About a month ago I mentioned Virginia's new speeding ticket fees. I saw a more complete breakdown of them and wanted to just give a quick update on that. These are fees imposed by the Virginia DMV, on top of the fines that come from the traffic courts in Virginia.
It starts at $750 for driving with a suspended or revoked license (commonly called AUO in New York). A variety of offenses lead to a $900 fee, though they're all odd things like driving with crappy tires or driving a school bus without the proper license. These are real things but we rarely see them.
The famous one is the $1050 fee (though it may be as low as $900) for reckless driving. In NY reckless driving is its own offense, but there are states, such as Virginia, where certain things are automatically reckless driving. This includes speed more than 20 over the limit, speed over 80 mph, and a few other things.
DWI offenses lead to fees of $2250 or $3000 depending on the circumstances, and there is a "felony reckless driving" that also has a $3000 DMV fee.
All I can say is that you should drive slow in Virginia, and otherwise be careful, and if all that fails, hire a lawyer.

Virginia Speeding Ticket Fines Make the New York Times
Seems the State of Virginia has decided to up the ante on speeding ticket fines. According to an article in yesterday's New York Times about Virginia speeding fines, getting ticketed for a speed of, say, 20 mph over the limit, carries a civil penalty of over $1000, plus the fines from the Court (up to $2500 more), and then maybe court costs too. Ouch!!
So as a result, of course, we are working on adding courts to our Virginia Traffic Court directory.
