I first heard of Lijit when Rob came home from a conference with one of their tee shirts, which was cozy and soft with a really cute little logo printed on it. I quickly declared it “Mine all mine.” He lamented publicly about the pilfering of his tee shirt, and Lijit offered to send me one of my very own. This should mean that Rob and I have matching tee shirts, but what it really means is that now I have two. And let me tell you, they are GREAT shirts.

I also dig the company, and no, they aren’t paying me to write this, nor did the free tee shirt in any way sway me to extol their virtues (although, seriously? so cozy!), I just dig their search feature. You can see it if you’re reading this on my blog’s home page and not via a reader, right over there, on the right. —>

It functions like a normal search feature, with the added bonus of letting me see what terms people are hunting for on my blog, where people are coming from, and what phrases people are searching the internet for that bring folks to my page. (I’m sorry to the person who was searching for “callous treatments for dogs”. My dogs are horribly behind on their pedicures, so I really couldn’t help you there.)

To be honest to goodness, I’m not maxing out the full potential of this software. There’s a lot more it can do, and I’ve been putting off writing this review because I don’t know everything about it, yet, and I wanted to before I talked about it. But for now, whatever, I know why I like it: because it breaks down all of my stats into easily readable pie charts and graphs, and that makes it seem so official and business like. Then it makes a neat email out of them and sends it to me every Monday morning.

As you can see, this makes me happy.
