Lijit

A Lijit Storytelling Contest

Jul
17

We’ve decided it’s time for a mid-summer contest. Nothing complicated–we just want to hear your Lijit story. To reward your efforts, the best storyteller will win a Kindle and ALL submissions will get a super-comfy Lijit t-shirt.

What should you write about? Absolutely anything having to do with Lijit.

Your contest entry could be about how you found out about Lijit…

“I landed in Nashville for the BlissDom09 conference. It had been a REALLY long flight day for me. The last leg of my trip was out of Denver, and I picked up my luggage and searched for the hotel’s shuttle van…

We talked a bit and I learned that she was representing Lijit, one of the sponsors for the event! (Sorry, I didn’t have the sponsors memorized.) Her name was Tara and I was feeling lucky to have met her like that, one on one, ridin’ in the van…”

–From Carissa at GoodNCrazy

Or simply what you like best about our service…

“This isn’t even the coolest part of Lijit, though, IMHO.  Instead, in my mind, the most interesting feature is the “Research” feature.  After you’ve searched for a specific term or after you reach TOCWOC through a search engine, the Lijit widget shows a Research area which gives you other possible posts or pages from TOCWOC and from the entire Civil War blogosphere!”

–From Brett at TOCWOC

Of course, you could be like Louis Gray and write a post that explains our service better than we do…

“Google’s goal in life is to find the one right answer that is true for everyone. Search for iPhone, and you should get the same answer I do at the top of the results, blanketed by potentially relevant ads from the company’s partners. Lijit’s goal in life is to find the one answer that is most accurate, depending on where you are searching. Search for iPhone on my blog, and you will find the most relevant responses that come from my blog and my content from around the Web, including Flickr, Twitter, Delicious, YouTube and other social sites. Search for iPhone on Steven Hodson’s blog (also using Lijit), and you should get a different set of responses based on his activity.”

–From the blog of Louis Gray

Then, like Louis, you can turn your babies into little Lijit evangelists as well…

(But that’s not necessary to win the contest.)

To enter the contest:

  • Simply post your Lijit story on your blog.
  • Link back to us here.
  • Leave a comment on this post with a link to your entry to insure we don’t miss your post.

You have thirty days and we will pick the winner with the help of everyone around our office. To answer potential questions, Lijit employees and their families are not eligible to win. (Lenora and Walter, I’m talking to you two!) Also, if you have posted something about Lijit in the past, feel free to republish your older post and we’ll consider it a valid entry.

In addition to the Kindle, you’ll also be featured on our blog, our homepage and receive our undying love & devotion.

Seems easy enough, right?  Have fun and we look forward to seeing what you come up with!

    Dear Lijit Team,

    Is the contest still open?

    Regards,
    Vanisha - An avoid Lijit Lover
  • Sorry Vanisha. You're a day or two late. We actually closed the contest Monday evening. But thanks for loving our service anyway!
  • biraj31
    Lijit Rulez!!! Site is minimal and has all the widgets one needs. Keep up the good work. Here is my site address - www.kimcheetimes.blogspot.com.
  • We appreciate the support, but unfortunately, you needed to write a blog post about our service in order to be properly entered in the contest.
  • ricklimpert
    I love cutting to the chase and using lijit. I don't have time to waste, and most people I know don't either. I'll spread the word, and lijit don't let me down! Check out my blog to see lijit as everyone should see it.

  • Thanks Rick. Your entry was straight to the point.

    Sneaking in just under the wire.

    Lover of Lijit here.

    I blogged about it.

  • I wrote a review-- after FINALLY installing Lijit (thanks to the incessant, cheerful nagging of Grace Boyle!)-- about Lijit on my tech blog. WHAT a great plugin!!!

    http://mrsmecombersscrapbook.com/2009/06/too-li...

    If it wasn't for Grace, I'd never have tried it. And if it wasn't for Lijit, I wouldn't be such a happy blogger! :D You've made a GREAT plugin, you Lijit dudes. Kudos to you. I think you guys deserve the Kindle. ;)
  • I posted on my blog today about how much I love Lijit! Hope I'm not too late for the contest.
  • I couldn't resist.... I don't use Lijit as well as I should, but I still love what it does:

  • Thanks for the local support Eric. We appreciate it!
  • minervakitty
    I'm very interested in the site, after seeing such reviews about then site. Would be great to wind the Kindle.

  • minervakitty
    Sorry about that. It's alice-rosephoenix.blogspot.com
  • I think there is a little confusion. You actually need to be using Lijit on your site and to write a blog post about our service. From what I can tell, you haven't done either. Perhaps you could read the rules of the contest posted above and let us know if you have any questions.
  • Thanks for your interest in our contest, minervakitty. Unfortunately, we need a link to your entry and you've provided a link to your Blogger sign-in. We're happy to consider your entry but only if you can provide the appropriate link.

    Here's my post about Lijit - http://bloggeruniversity.momcentral.com/2009/08....

    I make sure that a Lijit search widget is on all the blogs I set up for clients and friends.
  • debontherocks
    Dropped in to say "hello" and to say it was great to see Tara at BlogHer. But whatever it is I had planned to say I've lost, because who can follow a comment like the awesome ones left by "Awesome"" except to say that GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ-Nobel Prize, red by me at 24 years, since is also my IDOL in Literature.
  • Deb, thanks for dropping by. Unfortunately, we had to ruin your joke because that comment was just. too. much. We rarely delete comments on here but that guy was most definitely NOT "Awesome".
  • I am a registered Lijit user. My User Name: jagadishshenoy Screen Name: K J SHENOY. Email Provided for registration: Same as one provide while posting my previous comment. Check Out.
  • Find 'The Lijit Story' at http://humourflow.blogspot.com The post is linked back with text link. Cheers.

    Enjoy! (at least.)
  • I like lijit because it's attractive not like adsense for search because no visitors use custom search
  • Here's my Lijit story, with major props to my friend, and your Biz Dev girl, Grace Boyle: http://www.lifeschocolates.com/digital-world/sh...
  • tyronford
    To be quite honest, I was very sceptical as the Lijit website was rather
    simplified with their choose of colors and layout, kinda boring.
  • ameanie
    I like lijit a lot. In fact, I have a crush. If I get a t-shirt I will wear it forever and always underneath all my clothes.

  • Last week I wrote a review of Lijit that you can view here:

    http://www.fresheventure.com/1298/lijit-blog-se...

    Grace Boyle came by my site and recommended that I submit my review for inclusion into your contest. Since she stopped by, I've added a two part video series providing my readers with an inside look at Lijit. I'm quite impressed with it so far and will be implementing it into my main search box today. Thanks so much for providing bloggers with an easy solution for offering our readers ALL of our online content!

    At first I thought I couldn't get a whole post out of this question, because you really could answer why bloggers use Lijit in 2 words: Tara's foxy. But I thought a little deeper, and I'm in.

    I'm a sucker for free t-shirts, especially if they happen to be printed on American Apparel. :)

  • About Being Lijit !
    “well-founded: well reasoned and sincere!”
    I have decided to add a few comments about Lijit are they award winning who knows ! Sincere is a very interesting term it can be well used or Just what I call Semantic Jazz-I have installed Lijit on my weblogs and not being a Teche I have asked for help, from most applications asking for tech support is for the most part shaking hands with and empty glove-I am beginning to think that Geeks who add contact forms add them because they have nothing else to do and feel it makes them look like they care about their clients ,I have never been refused assistance of any kind from Lijit and I full well understand tech support is costly ! I also know that at times it may be frustrating for a professional programmer to constantly answer questions that are second nature to them ! For years I have followed the Science of General Semantics and it has a lot of teach people about communication ! The Tech Support at Lijit seems to be framed around Effective Communication ! Maybe the Folks at Lijit Read A few pages From S I , http://marshalsandler.com/2009/07/a-lijit-story...
