My friend applied for a visitor's visa to come to Oklahoma and his application was denied. The man at the Embassy told him to keep applying as one man was accepted after 9 tries. It costs $102 per application.
I can't understand the Government immigration website, and the immigration offices I called told me to look online.
What should we do next? Can I extend an invitation to him to come here, and if so, how?

My friend applied at the US Embassy in Cairo. He was told not to give up on his first try, but that people are often accepted after several tries, so he will continue applying. I don't know what a "tout" is.
He spoke with one of the interviewers at the Embassy who gave him the papers to fill out and who asked him some questions.
Thanks for your answers. We will keep trying!

You can't send anyone a visa. You can invite him, but he has to apply and qualify on his own. If anyone told him to keep trying, I promise you it wasn't a US government employee, but a tout outside.
US visas are not handled by Immigration (which is now DHS), but by US embassies and consulates, and by consular officers who are State Department employees.
If your friend was refused, it was probably under section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which states that all applicants for non-immigrant visas must be assumed to be intending immigrants unless they can convince the interviewing officer that they are not.
