(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider AIT (www.ait.com) announced on Friday it is now offering free search engine advertisement through its subsidiary, tyBit (www.tybit.com), for its hosting and domain registration customers.
The announcement follows the recent launch of AIT's no-cost, ad-free Web hosting account, which offers businesses and individuals a free website for life at their own domain name.
As a subsidiary of AIT, tyBit receives about 70 million searches per month with "thousands of advertisers benefiting from the key word searches," says the company.
TyBit developed the unified search platform to compete within the search industries pay per click advertising model.
The search engine provider offers alternatives to interactive advertising including PPC and PPP, which offers unlimited clicks to its advertisements for a flat fee based on tim.
AIT founder and CEO Clarence Briggs says he believes the tyBit PPP model will make interactive advertising a mainstream phenomenon.
"If we can create value for subscribers, partners, and advertisers in a cost-effective manner using a virtual conveyor belt and assembly line, we will take the secret out of secret sauce and achieve mass market penetration," says Briggs. "Publishers and Affiliate Resellers get their share of online advertising dollars. Subscribers want accelerated search, better relevancy, personalized results and privacy. Advertisers want fairness, customization, accountability, and transparency."
AITs's free search engine advertisement for its customers includes up to $1,000 in credits on select hosting plans.
