- Lijit Networks, Inc. Enables Anyone to Create and Manage Content Networks
Lijit Networks, Inc., a company that provides search-powered applications for individual online publishers and publisher networks, announced the launch of Lijit Content Networks, which are sites built to support self-organized groups of bloggers that write about a common area of interest. Much the way FeedBurner, Inc.’s FeedBurner Networks once worked, Lijit’s Content Networks aggregate their content via RSS feeds from many individual sites into a single website that captures the collective perspective of all sites in the network.

Lijit created the Content Networks offering in response to publishers’ requests for a way to build dynamic topical communities that would promote their content and drive traffic to their individual sites. Lijit powers the infrastructure for the offering, which includes destination sites featuring the aggregation of content feeds, networked search, and display and search advertising. The offering also includes Content Network search widgets for network members to install on their sites, which provide not only excellent site-search capabilities, but also surface results from across the associated Content Network. This gives readers access to a wealth of information about a topic from the people who know it best – the influencers and trusted experts in that field.
