Lijit Stories. Submit Yours
Altgate
"I recently installed Lijit and am loving it. Lijit allows viewers of your blog to search the content on your blog (and that of anyone in your network as you define, which in my case is my blogroll). It also has a cool feature called re-search which provides other search results to users who arrived from a search engine."
Mark Kaske
"...(Lijit) is a great search tool to add to your blog. I had been using a custom search that I built using Google, but this one is so much more fun and easy that if you don't have it and aren't using it, you should!"
Blosmo
"Lijit is the first site you should go to build your very own search box for your blog or website if it's not already on there."
Battlemouth
"For starters Lijit just rocks. They always have. Me being able to pull in my network to expand search results on my blog is great. I love it. And on top of that they launched a new look for their site today..."
Wine Tonite
"Lijit is basically a search tool that allows your readers to search for and access content on your site and the sites of everyone in your social network (via blogroll) from one place."
Energybloggers
"Energybloggers is using Lijit as the default search tool and we really like the custom configuration options as well as the stats. This company provides superior technical support and is always looking for ways to improve."
FresheVenture
"With the option to integrate your Blogroll, Delicious bookmarks, MyBlogLog communities and other Lijit users, your visitors have a higher chance of finding information related to their needs. When your visitor finds information they want through your blog, their loyalty and trust increases!"
A Boomer in the Pew
"We are excited to bring a sleek new search tool to our readers. In the past, we were using a rather clunky tool from Technorati. But now, we have a new tool that is far more user friendly from Lijit."
Mom Central Blogger University
"A Lijit search widget captures ALL the content you create online from your blog to your Facebook page to what you’ve been stumbling, digging and tweeting. You’re constantly creating your own little publishing empire of content and Lijit helps your readers find and search it."
Information Overload
"Lijit replaced Google Blog Search, which leaved a lot to be desired. Lijit is far easier to integrate into a blog for those like yours truly who lack the desire to mess with anything more complicated than copying and pasting snippets of code."
TOCWOC--A Civil War Blog
"...(Lijit) is a very powerful tool which you can use to quickly and easily find what you are looking for here at TOCWOC - A Civil War Blog."
Pastor Dan
“the Lijit widget gives you the opportunity to search this blog for that post you think you remember but can't find or just search to see if I've ever written about something you may be interested in…”
Robin Good
“…With Lijit not only you can provide your visitors with a normal search tool, but also redirect their interest across other content you've already published. And the more valuable content you offer to your readers, the more you establish your credibility as a trusted source of information…”
Mrs. Mecomber's Scrapbook
"I’ve been using the Lijit Search Engine widget for a few of my blogs for a few months now, and I have to say: I LOVE IT!"

"Lijit sparked my attention as a serious option to the overall pretty excellent Google Co-Op solution with their inclusion of the social sphere. I can easily add my YouTube, Flickr, Twitter account, and a lot more above that, for inclusion in the search queries sent through..."
Good & Crazy People
"Now imagine this little Lijit search weapon is on your favorite blogger's site? You'll be able to search through their site for that one great story you remember about waterskiing on the lake in their boat, but you can't remember the post title..."

"Lijit provides me with metrics about what readers are searching for on my blog. It also tells me whether what you are searching for is fairly well covered by previous posts or not."
Steffan Antonas' Blog
"I’ve been using Lijit since the inception of the service and while I’ve added and removed many different “fad” widgets, Lijit remains a core widget I’ve kept because it continues to consistently bring me traffic and add value to my readers."
Fairmount Dog Stories
"...Lijit is easy to use, update and install as a widget on your blog. Features we like the best include a log of searched keywords related to your blogs and tracking of the traffic related to the use of the widget."
Data Realized
"Wow, to be able to direct your readers to information that you deem as trustworthy and accurate. It is the opposite of a Google search in that the results are quality based (based on them being “trusted” by you), versus quantity based (Google)."
Nancy Compton
"Took minutes to install. Really. Now, I have this widget on my blog that shows at a glance where readers are coming from. And, more importantly, readers have the ability to easily search my site and those that are in my community. Add to that ad revenue share."

"I have to say, I think (Lijit) is DARN COOL. It's a way to search the places where I regularly parade my thoughts and photos for the whole world to see."

"...The idea is your readers trust you to bring them good content. If you don’t have the answer they expect you to send them to someone who does, and someone you can trust."
Deb on the Rocks
"Lijit understands us. They know that we have content all over the web, and they group that together somewhere in the cloud, hook it in with your social network's content and then make the whole shebang searchable."
Read Write and View
"...Lijit is a great example of how to really use the social web to unify your content and, most relevant of all in this case, to provide educational information."

"Not only does this low profile search widget help drastically improve the visitor experience, it also collects relevant data and presents me, the publisher, with excellent user-related statistics to help improve my content."
Golden Gate Gardener
"You can use (Lijit) to look for particular topics in my blog. I often blog about the same plants or plant pests over time, so this lets you pull all the posts on one subject together and read through them."
Wandering Salsero
"I'm very happy with lijit. For one thing, it hasn't created any problems...I think it's a good service not only for blog owners but also for the readers themselves because it gives you valuable info too."
Social Media Power
"...The Lijit.com "wijit" is an interesting approach to letting your readers search your content all over the social Web, as well as your network’s content. It is sort of like creating your own search engine for your readers, where you determine the sites that are included in the engine..."
Danny Brown
"Offering something as simple as a search box lets anyone look for a certain topic. Lijit makes it even easier by not only searching your blog, but any content from your social networks on the topic as well as that of your contacts."
Andy's Goode Life Blog
"Lijit provides an impressive search network creation dashboard where you can define and manage your trusted social networks connections. Basically you are creating your own search engine that searches your blog, bookmarks, photos, blog roll, and more…"

"The 2 big benefits are...the progressive cloud list of search terms that people have used to get to/from this site (and) the nice map of the world pinpointing the broad locations of visitors to this site..."
Greg Cohn
"...Lijit is doing a similarly interesting and useful job of letting me search the corpus read by my network, and with a little help from MyBlogLog and del.icio.us, my network's network. Lijit is awesome, and I often use it to search my own stuff."
12 Steps Closer
"In addition to a good search function, I really like the “surprise me” function which will bring back a random page of this blog. Pretty cool, if you ask me..."
Timothy Adam Designs
“…(Lijit) is a very smooth and cool looking search.. something any blogger should have on their blog!”

TechJaws
"Lijit search is like putting your blog on steroids. It unifies your content and makes it searchable."
The Amber Show
"It functions like a normal search feature, with the added bonus of letting me see what terms people are hunting for on my blog, where people are coming from, and what phrases people are searching the internet for that bring folks to my page."
StillSecure, After All These Years
"When Feedburner/Google discontinued blog networks a few months back, Todd Vernon and the folks at Lijit were nice enough to provide a home for the SBN. More then just an aggregated feed, the folks at Lijit gave us a real home for the SBN that in the future will become we hope the home of a vibrant community."
