Let me give you a bit of a background on the power search provider 'Lijit'. Frankly, it doesn’t deviate too far from the ‘real life’.
- Lijit provides a nice search tool for your site that will not only search your blog, but search the blogs of your friends, and all of the related sites (Flickr, YouTube, Picasa, del.icio.us bookmarks, etc.) that you and your friends use regularly.
- Your content is extremely valuable to you and even more so to your loyal readers. Yet how many times have you done a search on a horizontal search platform like Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc and clicked on a link in the result set only to land on the page, not dive deeper into the content other than a 2 second eye scan and bail on it via back button to return to the search results and keep on searching. Admit it! What we’re attempting to do with Welcome Lijit is prevent this from easily happening to YOUR content.
Welcoming new readers to your site when they’ve linked in from somewhere else…e.g. a search engine, blog roll that includes your site, etc. They land on your property and they get a true ‘greeting’ to say thanks for stopping by! 
Better content discovery: Readers landing on your site for the first time will have an initial experience right off the bat of mining your content. What is old to you is all new to your new readers! Welcome Wijit will help them find it easily. 
Tools for your readers: The Welcome Wijit by design is about improved loyalty and return visits. The Wijit offers features to quickly add your feed to RSS readers, My Yahoo and iGoogle home pages to ensure they have you earmarked for return visits.
Re-selected search results: When a reader is searching the web for something and they stumble upon your site, Welcome Wijit knows that search term and will provide a pre-selected list of the top 3 relevant items fitting that search on your blog, within your content and throughout your network…given them a true ‘feel’ of the Lijit search experience. 
Lijit lets you expose this info via a customizable "Lijit" so that your visitors can see where other visitors are coming from and what they are looking for. It also shows a map of visitors: 
Lijit shows a list of the most recent visitors, their locations, and if they used a search to visit the site, the search term they used:
