Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the answer!  I guess it depends on what a ton of money is... do you think $5K/mo is enough to qualify?  I'll submit the form and find out! edit: If you've spent >$500 through their self-service platform in the last 30 days, you don't qualify for their 30-day starter program, where you'll get Facebook reps for 30 days.  The guy on the phone also explained to me that the shorter vanity URL process is above his pay grade, and there's nothing he can do to help me and no one he could get me in touch with.  Oh well!

Could have been, I tried searching other SEO blogs but came up with a blank on those as well.  I could have sworn it was on the Seomoz blog.  Oh well; thanks for looking!

Great concept. Never thought of trying this through Wordpress. I have a  few set site templates that I teach beginners how to use. Makes the layout consistent and the content clean. But again, never tried this with wordpress.But I have found that Yola works well for this.

Sure!  It looks like it's happening on both the DROID Incredible by HTC as well as the DROID X by Motorola when I search for "ixl.com" or just "ixl".  You'll notice if you search on the iPhone or on a PC, our brand will rank #1 with sitelinks for these searches. Good luck figuring this out!  Maybe Droid doesn't like us if it doesn't have additional info about the user (like location)?  BTW, being able to simulate searches on mobile devices is really cool!  Thanks for putting that together.

I currently use Marin, previously used acquisio, and briefly tested keyshoo.   Marin is the best from a performance prespective.  acquisio is better for reporting.    If you generate inbound phone calls, make sure to use Mongoose Metrics, which integrates with Marin so you can track inbound phone calls back to the keyword that generated the call.  My clients experienced a 30% performance improvement once Marin & Mongoose were integrated.  Marin is rather expensive, but if your clients are spending a sizable amount on ppc, Marin more than pays for itself.  It also allows you to manage campaigns more efficiently...you can make all of your changes to Adwords & AdCenter simultaneously.  Plus Marins bidding algorithem let's you set many rules, that will greatly improve bidding performance.

Are you in Austrailia?  We have IP based redirection in place to redirect Austrailians to the Aussie version of our site (au.ixl.com) via a 302.  I still don't know why Alexa would be displaying that as the title of our site...

Thanks Nick!

Thanks for the answers everyone!  It's still crazy to me that these pages actually work.
