Lijit Throws Ads Onto My Site

lijit wijit ..or did they? There I was looking at my blog, and I noticed a big fat weird widget above my Lijit search box. It had a little Google ad at the bottom, and was otherwise odd looking.

Was this a random fluke error? I dunno. I asked Micah Baldwin about it and he said that it’s always been there. I don’t think so. It’s not there now, either. You don’t see something like that on my sidebar, do you?

So did they? Not sure. But if so, bye wijit. I didn’t opt into advertising.

Hay Chris: I vectored to this article via twitter. The reasons are 1) google ads drive me nuts when using a scroll wheel; freeze at ad till I move cursor to a safe place. 2) never been to Chris’s site and decided it was a good reason to visit. As a reader I see Chris’s real estate worry as the most important argument of the two. Chris’s “My Content” area only shows 3 lines and a 4th cut in half horizontally.
That is real bad. I suggest not messing up page formatting as more important to lijit than another google ad. My first action when a page is badly formatted is to leave the page, not click advertising. I am watching this conversation while doing other task.

Chris,

We huddled up this afternoon and decided that our short test of running ad units in the re-search box was not properly messaged to our publisher base. We have always run Ad’s next to search results on search pages since inception of the service (18 months). The search page ad unit is fairly expected as this is the standard behavior for Google Custom Search as well. In testing for our upcoming Publisher Ad Network release, we ran a little too fast testing the Re-Search ad unit without messaging it properly to our publishers.

As a result we have stopped testing the re-search Ad unit on publisher sites. It will return as an opt-in component of publisher revenue sharing.

Publisher trust is a major concern of ours and we were just a little too heads down banging out code on this one and it got away from us.

Todd and Micah, no hard feelings, and here’s hoping it can be turned into a positive! BTW for the record, Tara Anderson has been my Lijit contact up till now, and as I said on my blog, she had been extremely helpful.

@mack dammit, and I was beginning to dislike you… ;) Im sure it will work out. At lijit, we really try to make our actions speak louder than our words (after all if you follow me on twitter @micah, those arent always GOOD words…). I hope that Todd and our team’s actions did just that.

As always, if you have any questions or need anything, I am micah@lijit.com and cell – 720-231-7120. Im at BlogHer this week, but available.
