AIT Launches tyBit – Killer Search App (Beta) ‘One Million Dollar Ad Give Away’

(Orlando, FL) This week at ISPCON, during his Keynote Address, Retired Army Major Clarence E. Briggs III, CEO and Founder of Advanced Internet Technologies, Inc. (http://www.AIT.com) announced his newest innovation… tyBit™, a revolutionary client-side Internet Search Application that downloads and installs in seconds to a desktop or PDA.

“For years now, service providers have not been able to participate in any form of substantial Internet paid search advertising due to the current centralized model that is dominated by a few major engines. The top search providers have set up and profited considerably from an affiliate model to sell and deliver online pay-per-click ads that is fundamentally flawed because the model encourages click-fraud and is a clear conflict of interest. Worst of all, the advertisers never get to see who is clicking on their ads and are expected to just pay for fraudulent traffic without an itemized bill. This is killing search relevancy and will ultimately lead to a decline in ROI and business confidence.” says Briggs.

tyBit™ is a major shift for online search; moving away from the centralized search engine model to a client side application that distributes web crawling, indexing, and browser content delivery. According to Sean McCoy, Chief Marketing Officer at AIT, “tyBit will impact the search industry overnight. By spreading things around now partners and being fair to advertisers; everyone will win. This alternative will effectively increase search relevancy and eliminate the clear motives for click fraud costing online advertisers billions of dollars each year.”

Paid search, with $17.5 billion in annual revenue projected for 2007, is the fastest growing and most lucrative market in the online industry today. tyBit™ offers Telco’s, desktop OEMs, ISPs, wireless carriers, local newspapers, and any other organization with a subscriber base an opportunity to capitalize on this global explosion of information and search. “Many of these subscriber based organizations are seeking value adds to encourage brand loyalty and overall customer retention,” McCoy said, “tyBit™ benefits subscribers and advertisers while providing a generous revenue share.” To this Briggs added, “tyBit™ gives our partners and their users what’s important Freedom of Choice, Community & Collaboration, and Transparency

Shattering the existing search model, tyBit™ provides accelerated search and maximizes relevancy by allowing users to search the web quickly and thoroughly, by instantly submitting searches to multiple online directories, major engines, and other data sources in the public domain displaying all of the results in a single window on the desktop or PDA. As the information on the web grows exponentially, search relevance becomes more difficult. tyBit™ answers the relevance question by grid computing, learning subscribers preferences, searching multiple sources, displaying the most current information and searching local content based on a subscriber’s actual location. It also offers privacy protection, prevents click fraud and with the formation of a recent partnership with a leading security software manufacturer, “tyBit now has the ability to protect users from bots and malware,” says Briggs.

“We are putting private label, customized search into the hands of the service providers and their customers without forcing them to turnover their relationships. We are putting it all out in the open… letting the advertisers see who is clicking on their ads. Ads are being viewed by registered users… actual people who have an interest in receiving relevant searches and relevant ads,” explained Briggs. “tyBit™ even bridges the gap between online advertising and local newspapers by partnering with them and delivering localized search, and with up to a 40% revenue share with partners, we are spreading the wealth to those who deserve it.” tyBit™ was recently awarded the R/U Best New Product at Channel Partner Expo in Las Vegas where hundreds of major companies participated, and has already signed 35 Telco, ISP, and Software Partners with a global reach to over 45 million subscribers. Briggs’ final comment regarding tyBit™ came as a surprise, “I am so passionate about this product that I have decided to step down from my 12 year tenure as CEO of AIT after a successful launch and enable the ISP’s to take what belongs to them – Internet search.”
