What
is ClikitySplit and why should I care?
-
-
-
ClikitySplit is the world wide web's
first and only
visual, rich multi-media, dynamic,
interactive, marketing and "find" engine. It is both the end
user's dream come true (visual, easy-to-use, powerful
sorting features, etc.), and the marketer's magic bullet
(rich multimedia tools + up to 10,000 characters of text).
-
Accordingly, it is light years ahead of the search
engines that dominate the web today. The major differences
are:
-
Real time dynamic marketing, multi-media features,
bleeding on the cutting-edge technology
-
video capabilities
-
audio capabilities
-
photo slideshow
-
scrolling ticker message that allows marketers to
market their "Hot Deals" and
"Coupons" underneath attractive
photos on the slideshow graphics
-
10,000 characters of text
-
Visually
displays
all the relevant search results
simultaneously
. The major search engines only
display 10 organic listings and 8 sponsored (pay-per-click)
text listings on a page. You have to go to the next page
for more search results.
-
ClikitySplit provides sorting of search results--the
major search engines don't
-
for example, restaurants can be sorted by chain
name or type of cuisine
-
Since the marketer can change his marketing
message "on the fly" (dynamically in real time),
creative marketers change their sales promotions based
on their traffic, inventory, etc. As a result, savvy end
users get
the best deals by checking back often. ClikitySplit is
just that dynamic!
-
-

How
is ClikitySplit so fast?
-
-
-
For numerous reasons including:
-
the map is not refreshed when you zoom in or out
-
this fact alone saves a tremendous amount of
time
-
our proprietary map control allows you to zoom in
and de-cluster the dots that signify point of interest
locations
-
Our dynamic billboards appear immediately upon
tapping
-
"Bleeding on the
cutting-edge technology"
-
-
What
technology was used developing ClikitySplit?
-
-
-
ClikitySplit could not have been developed a few years
ago. The technology wasn't available. It literally took 10
years for the technology to catch up with the idea.
-
We took state-of-the-art Ajax and dot net technology and
blended in our own "secret sauce" to develop ClikitySplit.
Truly, ClikitySplit is
"bleeding on the cutting-edge
technology"
-
-
Do
you indeed have a patent pending on your unique technology?
-
-
-
Yes we filed worldwide patent applications on our unique
technology on October 15, 2007. Then we waited until the
perfect time before officially launching ClikitySplit.
-
Before we filed our patent application, we hired a PhD
that literally lives at the patent office during the day to
conduct a thorough prior art search. He found nothing even
remotely similar to ClikitySplit.
-
Recently the patent examiner conceded that he did not
find the ClikitySplit art previously patented
-
The patent is confidently expected to be approved during
2016.
-
And, as the developers of the world wide web's first and
only real time dynamic marketing and "find" engine, we will
aggressively defend our patent against all infringers.

For End Users
-
Why
should I use ClikitySplit instead of Google, Yahoo, or Bing?
-
-
-
ClikitySplit delivers a much richer user experience. If
a picture is worth a thousand words, the ability to qualify
search results visually in seconds is priceless.
-
ClikitySplit is 99.9% tapping.
The only time you do any typing is to change locations or
search by business name.
-
ClikitySplit empowers the end user with
simultaneous, visual display of all search results, powerful
sorting features with just a tap, the ability to change categories by
just tapping over a category and tapping or cliking the sub-category,
notification whenever a marketer changes his dynamic
billboard, and other cool, frustration-eliminating features.
-
With absolutely no intrusive "push" marketing (banner
ads, display ads, pre roll marketing in videos, etc).
Never! Ever!
-
-
How
is ClikitySplit different from Google, Yahoo, and Bing?
-
-
This question is answered above in the "General" section
under
"What is ClikitySplit and Why Should I
care?"
Other ways ClikitySplit is different:
-
ClikitySplit displays all the search results
simultaneously
-
as a result, each marketer has an equal chance of
standing out
-
the marketer's imagination and creativity is what
further separates him from his competitors
-
No limitations whatsoever are placed on the marketer,
unlike with the major search engines. The marketer is truly
limited only by his imagination and creativity.
-
Therefore, since each marketer markets differently,
you have so many more choices from your relevant search
results.
-
-
What
are all the red dots and green dots for?
-
-
-
Red dots
signify businesses that market via our proprietary dynamic
billboards
-
Green dots
are default dynamic billboards that contain limited
information about a business (name, address, phone number)
-
Our sales strategy is to turn all the green dots red
-
-
Am I
going to be bombarded with tacky, intrusive advertising while
using ClikitySplit?
-
-
-
Absolutely not! Never! Ever!
-
ClikitySplit will never allow tacky, intrusive
advertising, "push" advertising. We hate it as much as you
do.
-
We make our money from licensing our powerful visual
marketing tools to creative marketers, not selling tacky,
intrusive
ads.
-
-
How
can I zoom the maps in or out?
-
-
Via several ways including:
- tap the + or - button on the mobile device
-
dragging the map. Just grab the map with your left mouse
button and drag it.
-
-
What
area of the world does ClikitySplit cover right now?
-
-
-
Restaurants, Retail/Shopping, Hotels/Motels,
Entertainment, Sports & Recreation, Travel & Tourism,
Apartments & Condos, Real Estate, Automotive,
Professional Services, Health & Medical, Community &
Government and Education in the USA. Soon
to be worldwide.

the best rates available anywhere at hotels anywhere in the
world. 85,000 of them.

packages, last minute deals, car rental, cruises, and
tickets and attractions.
-
As marketers add their listings free, ClikitySplit
will be a world wide phenomenon really fast.
-
-
Can I
make hotel reservations securely online with ClikitySplit?
-
-
-
Yes. We have been in the hotel reservation business 15
years with our sister site
hotelmotelNOW.com.
That site was cutting-edge in 2001 and is cutting-edge
today, depicting hotel locations by GPS with sorting by
chain name and price range. The major search engines still
can't do that. Only hotelmotelNOW and ClikitySplit can do
it.
-
-
Can I
locate hotels on the map with ClikitySplit, then display nearby
restaurant or retail locations etc. on the same zoomed-in map?
-
-
-
Yes! This completely separates ClikitySplit from its
competitors. Just tap your preferred category (restaurants,
retail, hotels, etc.), then clik the sub-category
-
To change categories, tap a new category and
tap or clik
the sub-category
- Search results display immediately on the same map

For Marketers
-
Do I
have to have a website in order to advertise in ClikitySplit?
-
-
-
No! Just use our proprietary dynamic billboards. They
are much more powerful than a website. And a whole lot more
cost effective.
-
-
What
are dynamic billboards?
-
-
-
Dynamic billboards are one of our patent-pending
inventions in ClikitySplit. Just like the name implies they
are billboards that powerfully market your business and
they are dynamic---you can change them "on the fly"
in just a few minutes as often as you like.
-
-
What
are the features of the dynamic billboards?
-
-
-
-
Are
the dynamic billboards all the same, or are there different
types of them?
-
-
-
There are 4 types of marketing panes within
ClikitySplit's dynamic billboards, each with 5
different themes available.
-
The marketing panes include:
- Hot Deals (as many as two)
- Coupons (as many as three)
-
Multimedia:
-
Slideshow--Video--Audio, Scrolling marketing message
(appears under the Slideshow)

billboards, you can use the wizard to update specific parts
of your dynamic
billboards. It is a very simple process and we

billboard.

-
-
How
often can I change my dynamic billboard?
-
-
-
As often as you like. Dynamically in real time. Our
savviest
marketers
change their "Hot Deals" several times during the day.
-
The fresher your dynamic billboard, the more successful
you will be. It only takes a few minutes to change your dynamic
billboard.
-
Smart marketers offer profitable
"Hot Deals" and "Coupons" and change
their content several times during the day.
-
-
What
is an marketing pane?
-
-
-
An marketing pane is a separate "accordion" section on
a dynamic billboard.
Presently, there are four marketing panes:
-
Hot Deals
- Coupons
-
Multimedia"
-
Slideshow -- Videos -- Audio -- Scrolling marketing
message
- Quick Information -- Guest Reviews
-
-
How
are the marketing panes different?
-
-
-
Each marketing pane is designed to quickly present
decision-influencing information visually to the end user
while providing
flexibility to the marketer.
-
-
Are
the costs for using ClikitySplit fixed or are there also
pay-per-clik costs?
-
-
-
As an incentive for visionary marketers who come on
board now, the only cost is the flat monthly subscription fee for the
dynamic billboards.
-
In the future, cost per action (CPA) charges may
apply. CPA charges are impressions (a visitor accesses a
map on which the point of interest is located), mouseover (a visitor mouse's over an
marketer's red
dot), a mouseover of a "Hot Deal" or "Coupon", and clik
through (visitor cliks through to the marketer's website),
etc.
-
-
I am
a large restaurant (or hotel or retail or other chain). Do I
have to build a dynamic billboard for each of my locations?
-
-
-
No, our Template option lets you build dynamic
billboards for all of your locations in about 20-25 minutes.
Then you can individually tailor the dynamic billboards for
each branch location.
-
-
Can
I use your Template option to build dynamic billboards for all
of my locations and then tailor each branch location
individually?
-
-
-
Yes. This allows you to test different sales strategies
in different areas of the city, state, nation or world.
-
-
I am
a small business owner. Therefore, I need to stand out in local,
personalized search. How do I do that in ClikitySplit?
-
-
-
ClikitySplit is your dream come true. ClikitySplit not
only let's you stand out visually to anyone in the world,
but also let's you market hyper locally very powerfully.
-
All an end user has to do is type in the name of a city
anywhere in the world and that city's map loads immediately.
Then he can choose a category and sort that category.
-
As a result, the end user will be able to find you
quickly and easily
-
You use our dynamic billboards to get your sales message
across very effectively
-

back for "Hot Deals" or "Coupons"

-
I am
a small business owner and I presently advertise with an online
yellow page company. How can I effectively use ClikitySplit?
-
-
-
Online yellow page companies are dinosaurs. Plus they
are very expensive, especially for the limited traffic they
send you.
-
They have been successful thus far by selling their
clients a need for an online presence. However, even the
best website is of zero value if it can't be found.
-
Online yellow pages are business listings with little if
any value. Adding a video to an elementary business listing
makes it a little more effective, but doing so is extremely
expensive.
-
On the other hand, ClikitySplit provides effective tools
(all the rich multimedia tools available today + up to
10,000 characters of text)
for the business owner to visually stand out in a site that
will be found. Accordingly, the marketer is limited only
by his imagination and creativity.
-
-
How
about Click Fraud
-
-
-
ClikitySplit consists of only one static web page. All
other web pages are dynamically generated based on the
visitor's relevant search criteria.
-
Since the red and green dots are dynamically generated
based on the search criteria, it is virtually impossible for
a spider to perpetuate click fraud in ClikitySplit.
-
According to forensic studies by highly-qualified
businesses that study click fraud, about 15-19% of all clicks
from the pay-per-click business models are fraudulent.
-
It is easy to design a spider to commit click fraud
because the PPC search engines generate standard,
static-formatted web pages with the links in the same spot.
-
Therefore, an marketer is 19% better off from
inception using ClikitySplit.
-
-
Does
ClikitySplit provide analytics of my traffic, etc.?
-
-
-
Yes, of course. We provide comprehensive real time
"narrowcast" analytics and an
email summary at day's end.
-
For a point of interest to appear on one of
ClikitySplit's maps, that POI must fall within the displayed
map's GPS coordinates. As a result, only ClikitySplit
can provide "narrowcast" analytics to the
marketer.
-
We want to give you invaluable feedback so you can
effectively market your business and change strategies
quickly based on relevant analytics.
-
-
Do
you produce the videos for marketers?
-
-
-
No. We just provide the powerful visual marketing tools.
-
Any videos or audios must be produced locally. But that
is a very simple process. Videographers can cost effectively
produce your video and audio.
-
And now that smartphones are so powerful and include
editing features, producing your own video is a snap!
-
Since ClikitySplit uses a HTML 5 video player, those
videos should be produced in h.264 video format.
-
-
How
are you going to brand ClikitySplit?
-
-
-
In a multitude of ways, both online and offline,
including:
-
Widespread publicity
-
Ezine articles
-
Online marketing
-
Social networking sites
-
Major online sites
-
Demographically targeted marketing
- Etc.
-
-
Can
I license the ClikitySplit technology?
-
-
-
-
Can
I add my business listing if I am not in your database?
-
-
-
Yes, that is how we want to keep improving ClikitySplit.
Just tap or clik "Add Point of Interest" in the
"Using/More" section and follow the instructions.
