Lijit adds blog comments to search results

I’ve been using Lijit for quite some time on my home blog and have been quite happy with the service however in a recent update of the service they have added a really great bonus to their search results. If you are a blogger and you use either the JS-Kit, Intense Debate or Disqus commenting services your users will find blog comments have been added into the search results that Lijit displays.

When the user’s search results are display they will now see an additional link under a listed result that will let them display any comments that have been made on the post. The reason they added this feature is

Why is comment integration important?

–People that write and read blogs are always interested in what others have to say. One of the most valuable pieces of any blog is the comments section because it’s an excellent indicator of reader engagement and shows the conversation taking place around a topic. Lijit understands that and with this integration, give you the ability to judge a search result by checking out the comments before you click on the result.

–The integration of comments into search results is an important step forward in the integration of widgets and the content that BOTH publishers and readers find valuable. Lijit is proud to offer a unique search experience that is not available anywhere else.

–Lijit was founded on the notion of trust. We recognize the critical importance of your social network in establishing and conveying trust. This is yet another example of how Lijit uncovers more valuable information for publishers, readers and commenters alike.

Nice addition in my opinion – thanks Team Lijit from a happy user.
