I'm one of the founders of MixRank (we're in the YC S11 batch). If you guys have any questions you can post them here or send them to the email in my profile.<p>The part that TechCrunch left out was that the idea for MixRank started as an Offer HN post(remember those?) where 150 startups asked me for marketing advice:

From what I can see, this is just for AdSense based PPC. Is AdWords analysis in the pipeline?<p>Also, can anyone tell me the attraction of AdSense (for the advertiser) over just using AdWords as I've never found the former to perform as well as the latter.
I don't know whether to love you or hate you. You have exposed what works for me, and also my competitors. I'll be using your service, but hope it never gets traction (with my competitors :)
