What makes Lijitis more interesting than the traditional search engine, is that allows you and your readers to find bookmarks, blogroll and more, all through one search box integrated into your blog.

My job is to support existing Lijit Publishers and describe Lijit to new ones, and I could not have expressed our functions better. “Opt In” is a great expression to describe how a Publisher builds their network with Lijit.
