At the end of the day, Lijit's real value is the stats that it easily provides to small and medium-sized bloggers trying to create content which will keep readers on their blogs and will attract new visitors. The interface has been great for me - because I look at my stats and two minutes later I can start writing posts that my last few visitors or the majority of my visitors seemed to be interested in. Love it! I must agree with the momblogger.

It's easy to install, configure, and provides significant benefits to my publishers. By using Lijit, I have confidence that my readers are being presented with the most relevant answers to their search requests. Not only does my content show up, they get the knowledge of my network included no extra effort. Also, I find the stats very insightful and enjoy looking at them on a weekly basis. As far as load time, it's fine. I agree with Andrew Hyde, claiming loads of 20 seconds is an exaggeration by about 18. Lijit rocks!

By knowing what people searched me for, I can tailor my blog to what is interesting to others, and thus increase readership. Very valuable!

So the search idea ... Google + my trusted network really makes sense to me. For general searching Google is still the best place to go, but for specific searches in the scientific or computing space, I tend to default to lijit (the firefox searchbar helps) @dumbfounder, I love the Lijit concept, especially since I have a pretty good blogroll and delicious network to tap into.

Some publishers work better with Google and Google is a great partner of ours. The advantage over Eurekster is that we utilize the publisher natural social graph rather than requiring a lot of configuration (thats just not that fun), and the readers analytics we provide are of really high value to our users. Give us a try and I think you will like what you see. @dumbfounder Lijit indexes over 80% of our publishers ourselves. Some publishers work better with Google and Google is a great partner of ours.

What is their competitive advantage over say Eurekster, who just went the way of the dodo? (besides having money in the bank) Sorry, I am a search guy, I am going to be hard on other search companies. I really don't see the technology here beyond the spiffy interface.

Arkayne and Lijit are in somewhat different spaces, Lijit does search, Arkayne does context linking. I remember when Lijit first showed up on the net, its a great application. As far as getting the word out about Arkayne? Its TC, readers want to know more. SphereIt which is running at the bottom of Every TC page is also in the same space, my advice, focus on what you do well and don't get side tracked. Who knows one day we may be working together...

We at P.U.B. consider the safety of the information any app or widget(s) may be gathering, unbeknownst to the unwitting Publisher who installs them. P.U.B. [Publishers Union of Bloggers] has pending inquires to Widget Providers concerning how they generate their income and what percentage of this income goes to the Blog Publisher making the critical decision to allow a Widget on their site for their readers. In addition we are requesting transparency on the critical issue of how the private statistic from Publishers Blogs are being used, hopefully with the Publisher’s permission! P.U.B. expects to heard back from Lijit on these financial and private statistics issues from P.U.B’s inquiry we sent to Lijit in mid April 2008. When we do we will let great Blog Publishers like you know their deal. Currently we are also working with Blog Publishers to track performance hit evaluations of Widgets too. Let us know if you have any follow up on any of these important issues for the blog community and the performance issue. Will publish these results to keep the community of Blog Publishers informed on this critical component of Widgets on our Blogs. Sincerely, Barney Moran for P.U.B.

Arkayne is in the same space and were looking for investors for our first official round starting next month. http://www.arkayne.com Just moved things over to Amazon EC2, hopefully we can scale as well as Lijit with much less investment.

Fortunately, the b5 deal came when it did because it forced Lijit to address longterm scaling issues that might have otherwise crept up over time. Better to hit that stuff early on.
