Much has been made of the current and planned use of government funding as part of the economic "recovery or bailout" process. I would like to submit the following might be a good use of funds for the new administration to consider.

The domestic auto industry is dying , we have been in a recession for more than a year, and now this, 1/3 of the toys imported for use by our children are found to contain toxic chemicals. Sherlock Holmes is not needed to deduce that consumer confidence is at all time lows.

(Fayetteville, NC) Eleven months ago, the tyBit search engine (www.tyBit.com) hit the Internet running. Coming out of Beta in September, tyBit is already one of the fastest growing search engines on the Web. Registering over 60 million searches in September and 70 million searches in October, tyBit’s growth is setting a blistering pace. The business model that trumpets transparency, and no click fraud is being proven as tyBit now has more than 45,000 advertisers in its network after 2 ½ months of operation. Lastly, tyBit delivers fast, relevant search results to its users and pays its affiliate partners the most robust revenue share in the industry.

 

Today tyBit announced that it would be sending thousands of dollars in commission checks to its partners. “We have hundreds of AdVARs and Affiliates who will be receiving their first payouts this month”, said Clarence Briggs, CEO of tyBit. “While in Beta, hundreds of early-adopter entrepreneurs joined us in our effort to provide relevant search that is click-fraud free and we are pleased to issue cash distributions to folks like Arjaree Sutton who received a check for $434.65 after one month.” Briggs also indicated that tyBit advertisers are also benefiting because the Pay Per Click (PPC) and Key Word Registry (KWR) rates are very inexpensive with transparent reports and zero click fraud.
