AGLOCO: Make Money Online

AGLOCO News & AGLOCO Updates

Dec. 22, 2006 - Happy Holidays to everyone. Give your friends the gift that keeps on giving all year by letting them earn money online - tell them about AGLOCO.

Dec. 15, 2006 - Quick story: I sent an e-mail about AGLOCO to all my friends in my online address book. I actually debated sending the message to a former co-worker because she already has a lot of money earned through several income streams. (She inherited rental property, she has investements in stocks, bonds, and collectibles, she keeps her full time job, and she also runs a small business on the side.) I thought she might not want to be bothered with earning money online. However, she was the first person who signed up when I sent the e-mails out! Isn't that interesting? It's a good lesson on how people who have money will continue to look for ways to keep making more.

Dec. 9, 2006 - I added this new update section right to the top of this page containing the latest AGLOCO news and AGLOCO information. Be sure to bookmark this page so you can check it periodically.

Since AGLOCO is taking off like crazy, I added a new AGLOCO popularity counter at the bottom of the left hand column. Take a look. The numbers will amaze you.

The company made some excellent changes to their website over the last few days. They have released more information on additional ways they will be generating income to be disbursed to members. I integrated that information into the review below at the appropriate places.

AGLOCO Review

AGLOCO is a new company that is taking the blogosphere and the entire Internet by storm for one simple reason - it is the only way you can earn money online by doing what you already do - simply surfing the web.

The company is brand new (just launching in late November 2006) and it's exciting to be involved with an Internet company right from the beginning. If you sign up for AGLOCO now, you can be the one to tell all your friends and blog readers and get them involved too. Wouldn't it have been cool to be the first person in your group to introduce everyone to Google, YouTube, or MySpace? Don't miss out on the chance this time!

Is AGLOCO Free?

Yes, it costs nothing to sign up with AGLOCO. AGLOCO pays you!

Where does the money come from? The money that AGLOCO uses to pay you, me, and the rest of the members comes from the advertisers. Advertisers today crave to be able to put out their messages to highly targeted audiences. This model delivers that ability effortlessly. For example, if you are viewing a site about movies, then it only makes sense that you would be interested in a movie trailer ad for a movie that will be opening that weekend.

Here's the second best part about AGLOCO. (The first part is that it costs nothing to join). You don't have to click on any ads in order to earn the money! You can completely ignore the ads if you want to. In fact, you can even minimize the toolbar if you don't what it on your screen for some reason. Remember, though, you want to earn money so you will want to keep the toolbar up while you are surfing. Since the ads are targeted, they may be of interest to you anyway so you just may want to click on them, but you have no obligation to do so.

AGLOCO: Earn Money Online Surfing The Internet

How AGLOCO Works

Members simply download a viewbar that stays open while they are using the Internet. The viewbar is about the same size as toolbars you may have already added to your browsers for other applications such as the Google toolbar, the RoboForm toolbar, the Alexa toolbar, the AOL toolbar, or the StumbleUpon toolbar. See the screenshot at the bottom of the page to see how little room the viewbar actually takes up. You may have to look closely. The AGLOCO symbol is in the bottom left above the start button and if you look across you can see that the ad is a movie trailer for SpiderMan 3.

AGLOCO will be generating money for its members in several ways. A few are listed here, more detail is available on the AGLOCO site.:

  • Search: The viewbar has an Internet search box. Search engines pay referral fees to companies when search results are served. (Bet you didn't know you have been generating money for someone else every time you used a search box on a non-search engine site.)
  • Ads - As described above, ads complementing the website your on are available via the toolbar.
  • Commision - If a member buys something online as a result of viewing an ad, the company earns a commission.

Make More Money With AGLOCO

As if this isn't an interesting enough opportunity already, you can make even more money from AGLOCO by referring your friends. This is so much better than regular affiliate programs. In most programs, you get a dollar or two for referring someone once and then that's it. With AGLOCO, you get money for every one of your referrals every month as long as they all keep surfing the web with their toolbars. Do you know anyone who doesn't surf the web every single day? Neither do I. You can be pretty sure that everyone who signs up will keep earning money for you (and for themselves) month after month.

The other great thing about referring friends here is that they'll thank you because you are not selling them anything, you are giving them a way to get paid for doing the same thing they would do anyway. You can't argue with that. If you prefer to just get paid for your own surfing and not sign people up, that's OK too. It's up to you. It seems like a "no-brainer" to me that you would want to help your friends make money while making more of it yourself too.

Is AGLOCO New?

Has there ever been anything like this before?

When I first heard of AGLOCO, it reminded me of how people used to get free Internet service a few years back. The ISP would allow you to connect for free as long as the small toolbar with ads was running on the bottom or side of the screen. As with this system, the toolbar was very thin and unobtrusive. I ignored the ads most of the tume unless they were for movie trailers (hence the example above) or if they were for big sales at stores that I shopped at anyway.

After doing research, I found out that there was another company about six years ago called AllAdvantage that worked the same way as AGLOCO. Some of the old AllAdvantage staff are involved with AGLOCO. It's too bad that AllAdvanatge became a victim of the dot com bust period back in 2001 when all the online advertising dried up for a few years (before rebounding to the staggering numbers it reaches now) or I am sure they would be still be going strong today.

AGLOCO Controversey

For some strange reason, this company has has stirred controversey in the blogosphere. (Then again, what doesn't?) I think the controversey is ridiculous. The biggest complaint bloggers have about AGLOCO is that the previous incarnation (AllAdvantage mentioned above) went out of business because it paid its members too much money. Yes, you read that right. AllAdvantage paid its members over $100,000,000 (that's one hundred million dollars) in a a two year period (about 1999-2001) before the online advertising business went south in the dot com bust. These bloggers think that is a problem? Are they serious? I'll be glad to get my share of the one hundred million this time, thank you very much. I think these tech guru bloggers are simply feasting on sour grapes because they didn't get in on the opportunity last time and have been kicking themselves ever since.

Just to be clear, you will not find a single blogger complaining that he or she was not paid last time. Everyone got paid what was earned. The company just couldn't sustain the business model without enough advertising. (In 2006, the online advertising business has exploded as billions are spent in online advertsing annually now.) Besides, then as now, there was / is no cost to join anyway! It's all free. Whether you make two dollars a month, twenty dollars a month, or two thousand dollars a month, you are only doing what you would do anyway which is use the Internet. Why are these people complaining about free money?

Is it Spyware?

There's a dreaded word. Spyware is something that tracks web or computer usage without the knowledge or consent of the user. Are the Nielsen ratings "spyware" because the company tracks television viewing habits in order to come up with the ratings? No, they aren't since the Nielsen families are volunteers in the process, just as anyone who signs up for AGLOCO is. The company clearly states on the AGLOCO website what information they are gathering such as the URL of the visited site. If no information was tracked, then they couldn't be serving targeted ads and we web surfers wouldn't be making any money which would ruin the whole point.

(Note to bloggers who like to stir up trouble to get more hits on your own websites: it's not spyware if people volunteer for it. You're just jealous you didn't think up the business model for the company first.)

What does AGLOCO mean?

In case you're wondering AGLOCO stands for A GLObal COmmunity. I don't think that is a very good name for their company since it doesn't tell the potential members what kind of company it is, nor does it indicate how easily you can earn money with them. Another strange marketing choice is that when they write the name of the company, they use all capitals here as I did, but in the actual company logo, they use all small letters.

Since they are willing to give me free money simply for browsing online as I would be doing without them, I'll forgive them for the questionable name choice and logo choice!
