P.U.B. concerns on Lijit

• Posted by PublishersUnionofBloggers December 17, 2010

Publishers Union of Bloggers has requested transparency from Lijit for years on what it profits from Bloggers, and what % is actually shared with our publishers. To Date: No response from Lijit on figures, just attacks on P.U.B.

The Union's is also extremely concerned about Lijit's ownership of Publishers content after they install Lijit, or even if they remove it! Make sure to inform Publishers to read the very, very fine print at Lijit advising Lijit can do whatever it wants with Publishers content for its own profit.

Keeping up the good fight for Blog Publishers,

I got my blog setup with Lijit a few weeks ago and I'm loving it. It's one of those "where have you been all my life" kinda things. And just when I thought the awesome nerdiness could not get better I started playing with the iPad app and OMGeee it's pretty AND useful.

View real time who is searching for what from where. Did you catch that? A beautifully designed map will show you pinpoints of your searchers (or readers you pick) and let you know what they are looking for on your blog. At this very moment someone in Chicago just searched for recipes on my blog. Fun!

The iPhone app is quite fun too - my favorite feature is recent mentions where you can see headlines that link to posts of people who have recently linked to you. Link love!
