Nov 19, 2008 : tyBit Issues First Payout to Affiliates

📅 November 19, 2008 - No-click-fraud search engine tyBit (tybit.com), with more than 45,000 advertisers in its network after coming out of beta in September, has issued its first payments to members of its affiliate program, one of the most robust revenue share programs in the industry.


According to the company's announcement this week, tyBit is sending thousands of dollars in commission checks to partners who have helped tyBit become one of the fastest growing search engines on the Web only 11 months after first going online, having registered more than 60 million searches in September, growing to 70 million in October.

"We have hundreds of AdVARS and Affiliates who will be receiving their first payouts this month," tyBit chief executive officer Clarence Briggs said in a statement. "While in Beta, hundreds of early-adopter entrepreneurs joined us in our effort to provide relevant search that is click-fraud free."

Briggs also said that tyBit advertisers are also benefiting because of inexpensive pay per click and key word registry rates, which are not inflated by click fraud. In August, tyBit began offering new pay-per-click advertising customers a free domain name, one year of web hosting and a free $50 credit through web host AIT (ait.com 👉 Total Reviews: 24

The advertising community's acceptance of tyBit has been a major success for Brigg, who has set his sights on usurping search engine royalty such as Google (google.com) and Yahoo (yahoo.com). AIT has even lead a lawsuit against Google for allegedly mismanaging its own network and letting fraud run unmitigated, driving their own PPC revenue through negligence. Briggs sees tyBit as a way to help advertisers move away from centralized search engines, replacing that model with tyBit, a client-side application that distributes web crawling, indexing and browser content delivery.

"The fact that we are making thousands of dollars in cash distributions to AdVARS and Affiliates only 60 days out of Beta, and in the current economic climate, says a lot about tyBit and our acceptance in the marketplace," Briggs said. tyBit's channel reseller program, called "AdVAR" for Advertising Value Added Reseller, was launched in August as a new interactive advertising program designed to help search engines, web hosting providers and advertising agencies create or expand revenue opportunities through paid searches.

Partners and certified AdVARS receive up to 40 percent of any advertisement revenue they generate for tyBit, and are promised an even more competitive revenue share options in the future. Briggs also notes that tyBit does not compete with its partners, allowing them to private label the engine.
