@Jeff Chandler : I’m using this Lijit Search widget in my blog http://www.sarugu.com.

I want to create separate Search Widget for every blogs. Is there any possibility to add separate search widget for every blogs?

Can I create new account for every blogs?

@David,

In all the discussions we have had with Google, there appears to be no issue with running multiple search widgets (a google one and a Lijit one).

Also, Lijit now allows publishers to price and (soon) sell their own ad inventory, plus we use about a dozen ad networks to display the ads within the results pages.

If you have further concern, feel free to shoot me an email at micah@lijit.com

Lijit is easy to install and its statistics are useful. I have used it for sometime. However, I have a concern. Is it acceptable by Google if I have Lijit Search running on the same page with Google Search and/or Google Adsense? Probably this is a concern for those people publishing Adsense to make money online.

Jennifer, could you send your username to support@lijit.com and we can take a look as to why you are getting strange ads. (can you also send the keywords you were doing to return that result?)

Lijit’s revenue model is much like Google’s, we make a bit of money when our publishers make revenue through advertisement, so, for now, you cannot turn the adsense off.

We do have an extensive keyword filter to not return ads like the aforementioned.

Hi Darren
After reading this post I put Lijit on my blog – thank you for the tip. One question though – on your blog when a user does a search, adsense doesn’t appear at the top of the search. On other blogs (including mine) it does.
Normally that wouldn’t be a problem, except that I’ve noticed ads like “pretty asian ladies”. Frankly, pimping has never been an interest of mine, nor do I really want my readers seeing ads like that when searching my site.
So how did you turn the adsense off?

This is a good revue of Lijit features, and the followup thread comments are informative. It seems for Publishers not concerned about revenue or re-use of their content, Lijit is one workable option as long as their company is viable and the Publisher can make the switch to an established company (i.e. Google) if they not one day in this economy, easily.

For other Publishers, (revenue/content use) the next step is getting transparency from revenue based companies like Lijit & Google on their actual revenue vs. the % the Publisher may or may not get, and use of our content when we decide to use either.
P.U.B. has a short F.A.Q. on the Lijit issue on http://blogpublishersunion.blogspot.com/.

I’ve been using Lijit for quite a while now — over a year, I think. I’ve found it especially useful because I have several blogs — and I can hardly remember what I’ve written on where, let alone direct readers to the right page.

Darren,

We met at BlogWorld Expo 2008, at the Market Leverage Dinner at Envy Steakhouse. ( I was the video guy bumping into everyone dashing to the next taping with my hand-truck video studio).

I have been using Lijit for three months on all of my blogs. It’s really amazing to see how far away some readers live and found my blog(s) now totaling nine (!)

Planning a massive donation launch next week, Beneficiaries? KIDS! More to come…

Respectfully,

Nicholas Chase – ‘the video guy’ at BlogWorld Expo 2008

I’ve been using Lijit on multiple blogs for months now and it’s probably the best widget I’ve ever installed. I love those guys! :)

Lijit is nice, although I dropped it awhile ago because I didn’t like the fact that the search results had to show up in a pop-up layer. It made the searches very slow and it was’t worth it. Perhaps they’ve changed it since then – I don’t know.

I like Google search for my largest blog. You can’t beat Google for search, plus you can make a little money with your searches, too. Integrates right with your blog.

I was quite aware of this website, but wasn’t that much interested in it. Didn’t know so many things could be done and that too with much ease with it. Thanks for the info Darren.

Nice tool to get to work around with.

Thanks for sharing it with us Jeff.

Will try it out and see how efficient would it be on my blog.

I have heard about Lijit before but I have never tried it out. Maybe I’ll do it soon.
