Sam, thanks for your entry into our Lijit storytelling contest. We appreciate the post and love the Blogging Bookworms idea. There is a pseudo-book club going on around our office, but it's more of a book exchange than anything else.

We're announcing the winner of the contest tomorrow so stay tuned for more details...

Morgan, thanks for your help in explaining our value. I love it when Lijit users beat me to the punch...and do a much better job.

Believe it or not Jake, the comment integration just works. We're using the Disqus API and therefore, you don't even need to add your Disqus information into your Lijit profile to see comments in your search results.

Although, to support Giannii's comment, you can most definitely add your Disqus information into your Lijit content. It's just not necessary to see the comment integration.

Thanks for the post Giannii!

Don't make me answer that, McKee.

Re: 10 Tips on Building A Beneficial Company Blog

Thanks for the tips Fraser. I feel that I've fallen into a bit of a blogging rut and this post came at just the right time.

Re: So You Wanna be a Startup…

Tara Anderson — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 20:45:39 -0000

I agree with you Micah. You are in the right place at a really good time. There are so many exciting projects and people making Boulder their HQ. When Lijit moves to downtown Boulder, we will be in the midst of it all and I cannot wait. Looking forward to lunch soon...

Re: 5 Lessons Learned From Gordon Ramsay

Tara Anderson — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 13:47:13 -0000

Micah, I agree with you about the similarities between start-ups and successful kitchens. All of your points are relevant but I especially enjoy the third one. I've worked in a few kitchens in my time and earned a reputation for being mean. However, when you are in the trenches and trying to get plates out on time and looking good, you don't have time to beat around the bush. You have to make sure you are being heard without any worry about how someone is going to react to what is being said. I'm still trying to transition that skill into my startup life, but you are proving helpful in that respect.

Daniel, we're so glad you're Lijit. Now remind me...what is it you do around here again? Oh right, make me americanos in the afternoon with your sweet coffeemaker. Keep up the good work!

Re: You Just Got Tagged

Tara Anderson — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:18:09 -0000

Thanks for playing Daniel. I love the pictures of your dogs and Lucas, but must ask about your lovely wife. Did she not give you permission to use her image on your blog? Smart lady.

Oh, and I think you're talented (and sometimes funny) too!

Re: St John - Vacation Day 2

Tara Anderson — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:20:00 -0000

Thanks for rubbing it in that you're on vacation and we're not. However, I can't stay mad for long looking at the pics of Lucas on his first trip out of the country. Safe travels on your way home and I can't wait to see your tan back at the office!

Steffan, thanks for brightening my Monday morning. I'm glad that you can see the value of what we're doing and I appreciate the kind words. We love that you're Lijit. Be sure to let me know if you run into any other problems.

Re: Getting The Most Out Of Your Lijit Wijit

Tara Anderson — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:51:00 -0000

Steffan, glad you found these tips helpful. I think education is half the battle when it comes to explaining why our search is unique and lists like these provide users with some easy ways to get the most out of our service.

Thanks for the post. Everyone here at Lijit appreciates your continued support!

Re: How do YOU prepare for a conference?

Tara Anderson — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:14:26 -0000

Mark,

We'd love to talk about how Lijit can help you! Please stop by our booth (#330) and say hi.

Also, although we're in a little different boat as exhibitors, we get ready for shows like this by stocking up on our sleep and trying to stay as healthy as possible.

See you this weekend!

Re: Simple Permalink Trick

Tara Anderson — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 23:37:36 -0000

Andrew, I just started my personal blog and am learning about Wordpress through a lot of trial and error. After publishing my second post, I saw the ugly permalink (?p=6) and immediately remembered this post you wrote. You helped me out and in the process, I learned how to rewrite some .htaccess files. While I'm not exactly sure what that means, I did it and now have beautiful permalinks. Thanks dude!

Re: Paris in Winter

Tara Anderson — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:29:18 -0000

I'm so excited for you...both for the travel and for the new chapter in your professional life! You are very talented and I'm sure you're going to have no problem building your Design Babylon into an empire.
I can't wait to read more about your adventures in Paris. Keep us informed, have fun and learn lots!

Re: Social Media “Rockstars” vs. “Narcissists”

Tara Anderson — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:44:36 -0000

Brett, awesome post. From what I've seen, those that distinguish themselves as rock stars do so by making the decision to put more value in quality than quantity. I *could* tweet all day long, but then when would I get any work done?

Re: BlogWorld Expo Sunday Wrap Up - #bwe08

Re: Get Lijit with a Widget!

Tara Anderson — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:01:07 -0000

Aaron, thanks for giving Lijit a try and for posting about us. We have friends over at MyBlogLog, but if Yahoo is coming over for tea, nobody told us. I'd encourage you to take a look at your stats page. Besides our awesome search capabilities, we also give you a better sense of your madringo readers and what they are searching for while on your blog. Please let us know if you have any feedback!

Re: Get Lijit with a Widget!

Tara Anderson — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:37:12 -0000

Just wanted to thank you for trying out the Lijit Search Wijit and posting about our service. While we do have many friends at MyBlogLog, there are no plans for sitting down to tea with anyone....yet. If you haven't done so yet, you should be sure to check out the stats that we provide and send any feedback you have our way!

Re: New and Improved Wordpress Plugin! Now with more hijacking ability…

Re: Invite your friends to be Lijit!

Susie, I just sent you an email with some more information concerning why you aren't seeing any stats. Thanks for reaching out!

Re: Blog World Expo speakers are Lijit!

Tara Anderson — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:53:30 -0000

Thanks for the reminder Wendy, but I left Micah off the list because he's one of us. I was talking about "external" blog publishers...

Besides, I get to hear Micah speak every day.

Re: Publishers can now earn revenue with Lijit!

Tara Anderson — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:50:22 -0000

Bryn, this program is open for all of our publishers, regardless of location. If you're not in the US, then we don't need your address because payments will go straight to your PayPal account.

Re: Blissdom, here we come!

Tara Anderson — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 19:07:10 -0000

Assertagirl, happy birthday! I'm excited to see you and find out why you took Lijit off your blog. :(

Dawn, sorry for forgetting you but I didn't see you on the Blissdom blogroll. I've updated the post accordingly and am most intrigued to see what sort of swag you have to offer...especially after reading your most recent post.

Re: Facebook, Twitter, Blogging all in One Place

Tara Anderson — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:37:03 -0000

Thanks for the review of our service.

You didn't mention the detailed stats that we provide to blog publishers, and IMO, that is a big part of our value proposition. We let you know what your readers have been searching for, what search results they're clicking on, where they're coming from, and, most importantly, what searches they're doing that return no results. This is extremely valuable because it shows you where you have a gap in your content and lets you know how to better serve your readers.

Also, if anyone is interested in reading our recently updated Publisher Agreement, you can do so here: http://www.lijit.com/publisher_agreement

If any of your readers have feedback or questions, please send them my way. I'm tara at lijit dot com and I welcome your thoughts.

Re: Search Better From Your Blog’s Search Box.

Tara Anderson — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:15:42 -0000

Thomas, thanks for giving Lijit a try. We appreciate your support and the post. To answer a few of your questions, it normally takes 24-48 hours to fully crawl your content, which may be why you're not seeing Twitter results just yet.

Also, if you're seeing TechCrunch in your results, it may be because someone in your network has linked to them or includes them in a blogroll/bookmark. Underneath the search results, you should see a link saying "What's the connection?" If you hover over that, you'll see the chain of connections that has caused that search result to be displayed.

If you or any of your readers have additional questions, feel free to send them my way. I'm tara [at] lijit [dot] com and I'm happy to help!

I don't know about amazing, but I'm honored to be sharing the stage with you. This whole presentation was your idea and I would LOVE to join you on a brewery tour sometime. We could awe the brewers with our extensive knowledge of the history of Coors.

Re: Last Ellis Standing

Tara Anderson — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:10:57 -0000

LOVE your dress. You look beautiful. If I ever find someone in need of a flower girl, I'll be sure to recommend you.

Maybe you can marry someone with the last name of Ellis?

Re: Hot as a Fever, Rattling Bones

Tara Anderson — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:19:45 -0000

So true about the Spanish women. I also went to Barcelona while in college and it was the first time I felt like a loud, ugly American. (Probably not the last...)

In addition to their style, there is most definitely something in the way they move. When I buy my first abode over there, you're more than welcome to stay in the guest room.

Re: Eyes on Fire

Tara Anderson — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 18:19:54 -0000

This is my second favorite picture of you, closely trailing the one of you as flowergirl. I love it because you're obviously very seriously reading in the background, while Xander is obviously very seriously wanting to suck on that bottle.

I have the exact same reaction when you start reading to me.

Re: Mysterious Larvae Snakes, what are they?

Tara Anderson — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 17:07:16 -0000

Thanks for the nightmare material Jason. If I found this on my sidewalk, I'd be freaking out--it looks like something out of a horror movie. Yet, I'm intrigued and want to know more.
