Hi Lisa,

Publishers Union of Bloggers currently advise individual Publishers
hold off installing any Lijit Software on their blogs pending both Lijit’s
promised upcoming transparency from Lijit concerning revenue and Lijit's
current 'terms of use' which gives Lijit free reign concerning use of your
content once our Publishers install Lijit Software into their blog.

Perhaps as a network you enjoy a different version of Lijit in this beta, one that one day individual bloggers may?

Any thoughts on these critical issues for Pub's, pass it on, all appreciate it.

Thanks for asking. Easy answer first: We're serving 15 listings per page, and Google serves 10. In the interest of readability and balance, we thought that seemed about right - you think it should be more?

We've been very happy with the beta, particularly since Lijit's team is so responsive. Can you share what you were testing, so we can check out the results?

I've just tested a few posts that I happen to know the results of on Google -- for my own sites and a few others -- and didn't find the results on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth or even sixth pages. And then I gave up. 

More listings per page would also be appreciated.

This is a very much appreciated addition!  I can't wait to try it.  BlogHer is so rich andI always feel that I missed something.  I always will miss something I guess, but now we will be able to come back and find it.  Congratulations!
