Through Altnet’s exclusive relationships with Kazaa and other major P2P networks & search engines, Altnet-distributed files are given preferred search listing placement. This is similar in operation to sponsored search listings seen in Google, Yahoo and other major internet search engines.

Users searching for files using specific search words see Altnet files listed first, at the top of the results window, as gold icons indicating they are legal to download, virus free, and high quality. A user clicks the gold icons to download the files.

TopSearch™ keywords can include specific terms such as a title of a song or a name of a band. TopSearch keywords can also be generic terms such as “music”, “reggae”, etc. These GoldFiles™ are rights-protected by Altnet. Altnet responds to more than 120 million search queries every day.
