Too Lijit...for this blog
About five months ago I added a widget called Ligit to this site, which not only provided search on the site, but tagged those searches to see what the majority of folks are looking for, etc.
Turns out that most of them are looking for, among other things, Vivica Fox doing things on tape that she probably regrets. And Pamela Anderson, several swear words, and in general, a cruder thing than I'd want here. By the way, most of those searches will return zero results...so, sadly, I've found that more folks look for things on this blog that don't exist here than for existing content. Good times.
Anyhow, Lijit is gone. I wonder how many others have had this same result...if Lijit offers a filter for these kind of things, I couldn't find it. (I emailed them to let them know why I quit the application, just to see if they write back.)
Update: Well, they did get back to me, obviously very quickly, both in email and in the comments below. It's true that you can filter things out, though to some degree that's a continual effort that could be a pain. But at least it's cleaned up, so it's back. I'm sure everyone reading this can breathe a huge sigh of relief, and know that they can sleep well tonight.
There is a fix for your problem and we probably should make it more prominent for our users. When you log into your Lijit account and click on "my profile", you'll see a link on that page under the popular searches cloud to "filter displayed searches". When you click on this, you can enter the terms you'd like to disappear and then you'll never see them again. Please let me know if this helps or if you have other questions. We value publisher feedback and have built our company around it.
