Do Members have to buy things for AGLOCO to succeed?

This is the answer from AGLOCO:

In every economic system trade must occur or it will fail. AGLOCO is no exception. Companies will not want to partner with (or advertise with) AGLOCO if it is not profitable for them. So they will measure the results of their partnering/advertising with AGLOCO and if it is not profitable they will stop. This is one of the great things about Google, Yahoo, Ask etc. Ads on their systems work. People click on some of the ads and then some of them go on to buy. This will also be true for AGLOCO. While no individual Member need be a specific buyer, as a group the AGLOCO Membership needs to be worth advertising to in order for AGLOCO to succeed.

What is the latest on the Ask searches?

I got the following e-mail a short time ago and thought you might be interested...

These are exciting times for the company. The Ask search portion of the Ask/AGLOCO agreement went live earlier this week. We anticipate this quickly becoming AGLOCO's largest revenue source.

As the Members who have downloaded and installed the AGLOCO Viewbar software know, the Viewbar has internet search capabilities built right in. The most recent release of the Viewbar is programmed with Ask as the default search provider.

Ask searches that you start from your Viewbar work just like any web search, except that AGLOCO earns a share of the revenue when ads are clicked by Members. If you search the internet during the day (who doesn't?), you should try originating all of your searches from the Viewbar. (Please note: do not use excessive ad clicking on the Viewbar or Ask search results. Click fraud is against AGLOCO Member rules and Members caught in this activity will be terminated.)

When are we going to start getting paid by AGLOCO?

I got this note today and thought you all might be interested...

Great news... We can expect an announcement this week about the first payment distributions for our view bar hours!

Don’t expect too big of a payout this first time. What we want to see is a progressive increase over the next 12 months. I’d like to see it reach 50 cents an hour by this time next year; however, I don’t expect anything close to that now. They’re just getting started.

I don’t care so much where the payments start out at as long as they start… and keep growing as their revenue increases each month.

This is outstanding news. There is still time to build your referral-network in the early stages of this company.

Remember, it takes time for REAL companies to get built if they’re going to be huge. Yahoo and Google took years. As long as we see progression forward, be excited because it means this is real.

Ask.com will become AGLOCO's offical default search provider

Here is some recent information about Ask.com. According to the August 14, 2007 report of the University of Michigan’s American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), Ask rates right with Yahoo and Google in customer satisfaction - Ask 75, Yahoo 79 and Google 78.

Also, ForeSee Results added that, “Ask has had the biggest increase of any e-business company measured by the ACSI, up 21% since it was first measured… Ask.com seems to be well-positioned to rival Google in the coming years because it has a strong search technology lauded by analysts and users alike.”

This is a very important step for AGLOCO. It is their first major revenue partnership and should greatly improve earnings starting in October.

Is Agloco just another Pay-to-Surf, Make Money Online, MLM, or Network Marketing Program?

Lots of people are asking this very question. Here is the response from AGLOCO:

What does AGLOCO say about members in other countries?

This is the info I found on the AGLOCO website:

Currently AGLOCO treats all countries worldwide on an equal basis: all Members can accumulate up to a maximum of five hours a month of Viewbar™ usage. Referrals will also be accrued with a five hour limit. If shares are issued they will issued at one share per hour for Member hours and one quarter share for each referral hour.

AGLOCO reserves the right to change these rates at any time for any country on a country by country basis.

Country Specific Restrictions
Currently AGLOCO is open for membership to anyone worldwide. However, due to different regulatory requirements in each country, it may become necessary for AGLOCO to restrict certain countries from Viewbar™ downloads or Viewbar™ use.

In some countries, for member participation, AGLOCO may have to qualify for share issuance prior to offering shares to Members. In all countries prior to share issuance, Members' hours will be accrued and shares issued when the AGLOCO board of directors approves them.

Some countries may be too small or legal requirements too complicated for shares to be issued to Members in that country. (As a Member owned company it may not be prudent to incur the excess expenses for all Members, in order to distribute shares in the countries so affected). In this case, AGLOCO reserves the right to exchange hours for cash, once there is a public market for AGLOCO stock.

What are the latest revenue and tech updates from from AGLOCO?

Here are the latest updates from the AGLOCO web site:

Revenue – We are near completion with one of two improved revenue agreements. These should be implemented in August. They should greatly enhance September’s revenue in search and North American ad revenue. We are also in negotiations with one European network, to improve revenue there. We are in need of better networks in China, Brazil, India, Korea and Japan. We also need a network in the Middle East. If any Member has any leads on those, please post your ideas in the comment section.

Tech Update The tech team reported that the fix to the August hours will be occurring on Thursday the 9th. Until that time the display will not show correct August hours. The last three weeks have consumed our tech team with server improvements – this did not go as the team had anticipated with load balancing problems at the ISP. This should be resolved shortly and they can get back to the other pressing needs of AGLOCO. As we change to improved servers the AGLOCO website will be down for a period of time (the amount of time will depend on where in the world the Member is that is trying to reach the site). People will see a notice page saying we are doing maintenance. Projects like updating the website and emails to all Members will then be attended to.

How are the AGLOCO cash payments going to work?

Here is the response from AGLOCO:

So, here are three of the potential ways AGLOCO can pay Members. As you know, when you use the Viewbar you accumulate hours (currently up to 5 hours/month, and plus a credit of referral hours at a 25% rate). These hours, both your monthly totals and your overall accumulated hours, are the basis for cash distributions.

Monthly Viewbar hours: Based on the hours you and your referrals surf each month, you will get a share of the “distribution pie”. Your share is equal to your percentage of the total hours accumulated by all Members (including referral hours). How would this work? Here is a hypothetical example. Suppose in a given month AGLOCO distributes $100,000 for that month’s hour accumulation. Also suppose that the total hours all Members have accumulated that month is 1,000,000 hours. This means that AGLOCO would pay $0.10 for each hour you are credited with that month. So in this example if you had accumulated (yourself plus referrals) 500 hours that month, you would be paid $50.

Total Viewbar hours: AGLOCO may also pay in the same manner as above based on total accumulated hours. This would “weight” the payment more towards those Members who joined and began accumulating hours earlier (including the time before the cash payouts have begun).

Can I give my AGLOCO cash and shares directly to charity?

You sure can. You can give your cash or shares directly to the charity of your choice.

This is what AGLOCO says about this:

AGLOCO™ will also work with select Charities so as to facilitate donations. In addition, The AGLOCO™ Foundation was set up to promote free access to information across the world. The Development Team has agreed to tender the shares they earn as Founding Members to the Foundation.

This is what AGLOCO says about the maximum number of hours:

Over time, depending on several variables that number may change at AGLOCO™ ’s discretion. The reason we implemented this limit is to prevent hacking software from continuously clicking and thereby generating online search. Remember you can still increase your profits by referring more people to AGLOCO™.

Sign up, use the web as usual and earn cash and shares - it really is that simple. Once you install the Viewbar™ software it automatically records the time you're actively online, and we pay you for it. But the first step is to sign up and become a member. It's fast and it's free. If you refer your friends and family we'll pay you even more cash and shares. Visit our Referral Center for helpful tips.

Do I need to have the Viewbar up all the time?

This is AGLOCO's response to this question:

No! Currently AGLOCO™ will reward up to five hours a month in Viewbar time. Above that limit, you can keep your Viewbar displayed or minimize it at any time, though most of the Members choose to keep it up. If you don’t want your Viewbar to operate at any specific time, just minimize it and it will stop working. However, you will not earn online hours while your Viewbar is minimized.

Can you tell me all about the Viewbar?

I think the best way to explain the Viewbar is to use the words from AGLOCO. Here is how they describe it:

The Viewbar™ is a small toolbar that rests on the bottom of your screen or browser window while you surf the Internet. The Viewbar™ software is what enables AGLOCO to collect the money you are earning while browsing the Internet.
The Viewbar™ keeps track of your online interests and preferences, and uses that information to deliver the most valuable message to you at the right time. Because privacy is a core principle of AGLOCO, the Viewbar™ communicates with our secure servers in an encrypted fashion to keep your information private.

Some people have asked: “Is the Viewbar™ some kind of ‘spyware’?” The answer is simple: The Viewbar™ is the opposite of spyware. Spyware sneaks onto your computer without your knowledge or permission, it steals your private information, and it’s nearly impossible to remove. Unlike spyware, the Viewbar™ is completely permission based, it keeps your information private, and you can always turn it off with a single click.

Any more updates on the Viewbar?

I was reading the company blog this morning, and here is the latest update on the AGLOCO toolbar:

...as soon as we are able to finish integrating the ad servers (which has unfortunately taken much longer than expected), we will begin our full-scale release. The current integration issues are coming from the ad server side, but we are having to adjust the Viewbar to compensate for this. We are working with our partners to correct this last remaining issue so the Viewbar can be released. Every day I keep my fingers crossed that it will be the day the ad server integration is completed so that AGLOCO can finally move into the next phase of business.

What is the status of the Viewbar?

This morning I read this on the AGLOCO site:

Viewbar quality tests are still going on. As I mentioned in the comment area of my previous post, all tests of the Viewbar have passed except for the ad servers. We had expected our testing to be finished by now, but this advertising integration is not proving easy to solve. All of us on the development team are anxious to see the Viewbar distributed to our Members, as we are now two months behind our initially planned launch date. Still, with only one technical hurdle between us and the release, I’m really getting excited for the upcoming launch (and I can see other Members are getting excited too!).

It sounds like it is getting close. I am glad they are working out the bugs now so it will be a good product once it is available.

Will the Viewbar work with a MAC?

AGLOCO is getting close to releasing their Viewbar...

In a note I received from them, they discussed the above question. Here is what they said:

Initial Release for Windows: The initial Viewbar release will be for Windows Vista, XP, 2000 Pro and 2000 Server. Later, we will release Mac and Linux versions of the Viewbar. Until that occurs, Mac/Linux users can still log onto any supported Windows computer and accumulate their five hours. The Viewbar works with browsers IE 5.5 or higher and Firefox 1.5 or higher.

Some good news about the Viewbar...

I read some good news about the Viewbar that I would like to share with you. Here it is:

There is some good Viewbar news for most of you. ...we are initially releasing about 50,000 Viewbars to those Members that signed up first. Our current plan is to release another 50,000 Viewbars every day until every pre-launch Member has a Viewbar (which means all Members should have their Viewbar within the first 10 – 11 days). This should alleviate some of the fears Members have expressed that they might have to wait weeks or months for their Viewbar. We recognize that there have been delays on the front end of the release, so we are trying to tighten up the back end of the release as much as possible.

What does the Viewbar do?

I was reading the AGLOCO web site today and found a good description of what the Viewbar is and what it does. Here is what it said:

The Viewbar™ is a small toolbar that rests on the bottom of your screen or browser window while you surf the Internet. The Viewbar™ software is what enables AGLOCO to collect the money you are earning while browsing the Internet.

I was reading on the AGLOCO web site and found their Vision for their company. I think it is worth sharing here:

During the last ten years, the Internet has spawned a new economy: one where users create tremendous economic value but hardly get anything in return. With AGLOCO we want to change that thinking. We hope that all companies that depend on its users will eventually believe in what we do – The Members should share the value they generate for the company.

We believe that AGLOCO will be a success if we can change the entrepreneurial mindset on the Internet. Instead of only looking for ways users can help them build the company, future entrepreneurs will be asking how the users can share in the value creation.

We believe in a different way of looking at users on the internet. We developed the following philosophy for AGLOCO and we welcome your comments (philosophy@AGLOCO.com). After all, it's your company.

10. Members should be owners - The Members who are the source of value for an internet company should own that company. This brings transparency and rewards the right people who contribute to developing the company.

9. Providers should be stewards - The providers of a service where Members create the value should act as stewards, not owners. The stewards of the company have a duty to do what is right for the community, and maximize the benefits for the community. The stewards will act in the best interest of the community if the incentive system is aligned.

8. You can make money without changing anything you do - The internet currently generates value from nearly everything a user does online. From a simple internet search, to clicking on an ad, to making a purchase, someone is making money from these activities. Our job, as stewards of a large community, is to ensure a fair part of that value is returned to our Members.

7. Privacy is not a nice to have, it is a must have - Our Members privacy is paramount. After all, without our Members, the community would not exist. That is why we will never sell, disclose or give away any or all of our Members' information. A high level of privacy is far more valuable to the community than any alternative.

6. Trust is everything - The AGLOCO platform can be a gateway for an array of other services developed to provide both monetary and service benefits. Whether early virus and phishing site alerts or simply a trusted information exchange, Members should benefit from such a community.

5. Every single Member benefits - Every Member should benefit in his or her way by joining a trusted community. Whether earning money while surfing, or giving that money away to charity, we believe the platform should represent what the Internet should be: a source of benefit for a large section of the population.

4. Members that own the community should help promote and police it - A user that owns part of the community has more incentive to promote it and keep it free of malicious software and ill-intentioned individuals. We believe that the overwhelming majority of our Members will want to reach out to friends, family and colleagues, as well as protect themselves from scams and pitfalls on the Internet.

3. A community with a shared sense of responsibility - We stray away from advertising and products that are socially unacceptable. We strive to create an active and socially responsible community.

2. A global community - The internet unites the world across cultures, borders and languages. AGLOCO wants to bridge the divide in global understanding and promote itself as a cross cultural, socially aware and responsible community.

1. Free is too expensive (our favorite) - A free service is always great. However, if Members produce what becomes the core value of the company – as we have seen with recent online mega-deals - then we believe Members should receive a good portion of the financial benefit that the company derives.

Will the toolbar be released to all members at the same time?

The AGLOCO toolbar should be available some time this month, depending on when it finishes beta testing. It will be released to Members in the order in which Members signed up. No testers are receiving any earnings while using the Viewbar in this testing phase.

What can we do now? Build the community, build the community, build the community. AGLOCO and its members will make more if we grow the community.

Sign up and start building!

How do referral links work?

I saw the following paragraphs on the AGLOCO web site this morning and thought it might answer some of the questions people have about referral links.

To make it easier to refer your friends to AGLOCO, we have set up our website to let you link directly to a sign-up page that will automatically mark that visitor as your referral. The link follows a simple pattern:

http://www.agloco.com/r/****####
(where ****#### represents your Member ID)

Here is your link: http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBB0937

When people use that link,your ID is automatically embedded into the system and you will receive the referral credit.

The bigger the AGLOCO network gets, the more valuable every Member becomes, and the more you make from the system. The larger AGLOCO is, the better our ability to generate revenue for our Members.

When will the AGLOCO Viewbar be available? Update

I have been out of town for a while and haven't had a chance to update my blog! Sorry!

I just heard that the Viewbar is scheduled to be released in March. It looks like it will be toward the end of the month. A lot depends on how the QA testing goes. We just need to be patient. We don't want it released with lots of bugs in it!

Whatever the date, it will be soon. Please sign up and contact your friends and relatives so that you have a large number of referrals when AGLOCO is released.

Can I refer people through message boards?

I was reading on the AGLOCO site about referring people through message boards. This is what they have to say about doing this:

Each type of posting and individual host will have their own regulations. Please review the guidelines set by the posting area to ensure that you are adhering to all of their guidelines. Although some postings may not be in violation of AGLOCO’s specific anti-spam policies, breaking someone else’s rules will get you in trouble, so be informed.

When posting on a message board or Usenet newsgroup, make sure you are posting on topic, and not posting to too many boards or too frequently. One posting about AGLOCO might draw referrals, but multiple postings become a nuisance. Please post your messages responsibly.

There are many message boards where messages about AGLOCO are appropriate, and many where they aren’t, so use good judgment. Keep your content honest and on point. Misleading your potential referrals is not only a violation of the AGLOCO membership agreement, but also a blow to the integrity of our company.

Why are AGLOCO referrals important?

Why are referrals important? The more direct referrals and extended referrals on your team that actually download and use the Viewbar, the more money you will make. It is important to recruit a large team because not everyone who signs up will download the Viewbar and use the computer for five hours a month or try to build a team.

The potential is definitely here. You can accumulate 4886.25 monthly hours by signing up five direct referrals who each sign up five referrals.

The following table shows you the possibilities - it is so obvious that to make a lot of money each month you need to sign up a lot of directs referrals and they need to do the same. Remember, it is not only signing them up - they will need to download the Viewbar and actually spend five hours a month on the computer.

0 Direct Referrals & 0 Extended Referrals = 5.00*
1 Direct Referrals & 1 Extended Referrals = 11.25*
2 Direct Referrals & 2 Extended Referrals = 82.50*
3 Direct Referrals & 3 Extended Referrals = 458.75*

Is AGLOCO very popular in Google?

So, just how popular is AGLOCO?

I just did a Google search on “AGLOCO” and got 895,000 pages of results that were in English and 1,400,000 results for all languages. It looks like AGLOCO is very popular world wide. AGLOCO has done a great job with translations into other languages. I am sure that the international community is happy about that. I used to be a translation planner, so I always notice when companies do a good job with translation...

AGLOCO was first mentioned on the Internet on November 3, 2006 - that was only 3 months ago! That means AGLOCO has been growing by over 15,000 pages a day. I sure wish I had that kind of growth in my blogs and web sites - pretty amazing.

I did a number of Google searches to see how those search results compare to other searches. I got 11,700,000 hits when I searched for Tiger Woods, 1,440,000 hits for Princess Diana (not many more than for AGLOCO), 138,000,000 hits for President Bush, 26,700,000 for Britney Spears, 167,000,000 for "make money online" (obviously people are really looking for ways to make money on the Internet), 3,880,000 for AdSense, 517,000,000 for Google, 1,460,000 for Rush Limbaugh, 7,980,000 for American Idol, 429,000 for Quixtar, 1,910,000 for Donald Trump, 66,700,000 for YouTube, 23,500,000 for BMW, 61,000,000 for eBay, and only 243 hits for "Jeanne Stuemke (my name)."

The comparison is interesting. I bet if I do these searches in another 30 days, I would see that the number of hits for AGLOCO will have skyrocketed compared to my other search terms. AGLOCO is a new business opportunity, and it is still in pre-launch. People are getting excited about it and looking for more information. That is why this time is crucial for developing a large network of people. Join now - don't wait. Become one of the founding members.

Sign up now, and keep the growth happening!

Huge Improvement to Google AdSense Referrals

I realize that my blog is for AGLOCO, but I figure that the people who read it are people are looking for additional ways to make money. They are not content with just one revenue stream - they want many different streams. Google AdSense has greatly improved their referral program!

Google's new, revamped AdSense referral program is well worth another look.

In the past, you received $100 if a publisher you introduced to AdSense earned $100 in ad revenues. Under the new system, you get $5 right away for every sign-up... and an additional $250 when the publisher you refers earns $100. That really adds up!

If you sign up four publishers a month and help them improve their AdSense earnings, you would increase your revenues by over a $1,000 a month!

Just click on my referral button on the right side of this blog, and start on your way to your first $100. Remember to add a referral button to your site...

Do you have another AGLOCO sample e-mail I can send out to my family and friends?

Here is a sample email that you can send to your friends and relatives to help them understand what AGLOCO is and why they should join NOW. Please remember to insert your Member number where you see mine (BBBB0937).

Dear ______,

I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea, and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.

AGLOCO’s story is simple:

Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!

AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.

AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!

AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.

AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube made. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.

What's the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.

So do both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use this link to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO. http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBB0937

Thanks

Is it worth your time becoming part of AGLOCO?

There are so many get-rich quick schemes on the Internet that it is hard to know when something is really worth your time and effort. I think the following paragraphs written by the AGLOCO development team says it like it is:

In other words, “Are you and I spending our time on a winning effort?”

I think the answer is a resounding YES. And this is even more true today than it was in November when we opened up the Membership website.

Why do I feel that way?

• We have over 30,000 founding Members who have already actively recruited others


• We have over 1,000,000 pages on the Internet talking about AGLOCO (per Google search)


• We have comments from Bill Gates (and now this week, YouTube Founder Chad Hurley) indicating that we are on the right track


• And we have you, probably the most active pre-launch community ever on the Internet. Who else could produce 1,000,000 pages in two months about a company that is still in pre-launch?

You are building a great community and you are the primary reason AGLOCO will win.

Why should I build my AGLOCO network now?

Now is the time to get as many referrals as you can. Don't waste any time. Sign up now, and start building your network.

Once the Viewbar is released, there will be lots of competition for referrals. Although it will be easier to recruit people once people can see the Viewbar, it will make it harder to build a wide network. Start building your network now. When the Viewbar is available and everyone is excited about it, you will already have a great start on your network.

What is an economic network relative to AGLOCO?

AGLOCO is the Internet's first economic network. This is what AGLOCO has to say about it:

Today’s hottest Internet businesses are all about the power of social networks. Companies like MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube have become worth billions because businesses have realized that these social networks are generating huge advertising and marketing opportunities. As these social networks grow, the economic potential for its owners – and the advertisers who target the site’s users – is remarkable.

At AGLOCO, we asked a simple question: The users created the community, where’s their share of the profit?

It was from this question that AGLOCO set out to create the Internet’s first Economic Network, harnessing the power of Internet-based social networks to directly benefit the Members who help to create the community.

Becoming a member of AGLOCO is as simple as completing a brief sign-up page (name, age, location and email address.). Once you’re a Member, you will be asked to then download the Viewbar™ software. (Note: the Viewbar™ software is currently unavailable, as it is in closed testing. It will be ready for public download in a few weeks, and members will be notified when it is available.)

Why does AGLOCO use a referral system?

I saw this on the AGLOCO company blog and thought others would be interested in it:

The most valuable part of AGLOCO is its Members. By referring others to AGLOCO, you provide them with value and for that, AGLOCO thinks you should get some of that value you provide.

It makes sense. Think about YouTube. The first, most active users were on the site when the software was buggy and there were few videos available, but their Membership (and referrals to others) is what made the site a success. When it was sold for $1.65 billion, how much of that did these first users see? Nothing. With the AGLOCO referral system, Members get more for building the network.

Can I find out the names of my AGLOCO direct referrals?

The answer is NO. The reason is that AGLOCO’s privacy policy does not allow giving any personal data to an unauthorized third party at any time. Although I would like to see a list of both the direct referrals and the extended referrals, I believe it is the right thing for AGLOCO to do. This strict privacy policy will help members trust AGLOCO.

How does AGLOCO make money?

AGLOCO makes money in several ways:

• Search - When you use the Viewbar to do an Internet search, AGLOCO earns money from the search engine providers.


• Advertising - The Viewbar displays ads that are targeted based upon the web sites you visit. When you click on an ad and make a purchase, AGLOCO receives a referral fee. (Individual members do not receive compensation for clicking on ads in the Viewbar.)


• Transaction commissions - Many major retailers pay commissions when you refer customers who make a purchase. AGLOCO collects that commission and passes it on to its members.


• Software distribution - Numerous software companies pay web sites to encourage the download of new software releases, such as Adobe’s Flash and Acrobat Reader software, and trial versions of new programs. AGLOCO members not only get access to the latest and coolest software, they get paid for it.


• Service distribution - Many online service providers will look to the AGLOCO community as a source of new and active users for their services. (For example, eBay, Skype, and PayPal, all pay fees to people who help them recruit new active users to their services.)


• Product distribution - When Members agree to use a product, such as cell phones, high-tech gadgets, office supplies, new credit cards, or financial services, AGLOCO can collect referral fees. Some companies even offer special rebate and cash-back programs.

What does being a founder of AGLOCO mean to you?

I read this on the Company Blog and thought it was interesting and worth sharing:

"Welcome to both the trials and the excitement of being a founder. Because of our design as an entrepreneurial company, we have decided to allow people to help us build the network before we launch the company. Essentially, as a Prelaunch Member, you are taking part in what a founder does: working to build the network.

I was flipping through some Member websites yesterday and found one that has a good quote from our “History” page:

YouTube was acquired for $1.65 billion by Google in October 2006. The story of how three guys made hundreds of millions of dollars in one year is a great tale of entrepreneurial success. But what happened to the first users who posted their videos on the site and told their friends to do the same? We don’t hear about them, because they did not get anything (other than free video hosting). Wasn’t it really these users that helped turn YouTube into a multi-billion dollar company? Sure the site is great and the founders deserve all the credit they get, but it is the users who ultimately made it valuable. There are plenty of video sites, and if it wasn’t YouTube, another site could have filled the space, become a household name and been acquired for an amazing price.

We are not trying to pick on YouTube (which we happen to love using). How about the early users of Skype? What about those who first downloaded the software, made calls to their friends in different countries and told their parents to use it as well? They did not see a penny of the $2.6 billion that eBay paid for the company in September 2005. And MySpace? How about the millions of members there? How did they do when News Corp. bought the company for almost $600 million? After all, it was the members that Rupert Murdoch was after when he purchased the site.

As a founder, you deal with all the bugs, the incomplete suite of functionality, and the burden of promoting a product that has not yet been released, but with AGLOCO you will also achieve a much greater share of the rewards. And we’re counting on you to make the constructive comments you’re making so that the management team can improve the company and give Members what they want once the product has launched. Those who continue to make the effort will find themselves rewarded when AGLOCO becomes successful."

Can I make affiliate revenue through AGLOCO?

I was just looking at the AGLOCO company blog this morning, and they were talking about making affiliate income. I already do this with Amazon, and it took me quite a while to set up on my blogs and web sites. It is much easier on AGLOCO. All you need is to download the Viewbar (when it is available). That is all you do!

Here are some words directly from the company blog about this:

I recognize that during the current pre-launch phase we spend extra time on the referral system and the building of the network, so I want to address a part of “what’s in it for regular Members”, specifically in talking about the economic benefit of collecting sales commissions (or affiliate revenue). Let me explain:

Every year, billions of dollars are spent on online shopping, whether for books, electronics, cars, airline tickets, or just about anything else. Many online retailers such as Amazon, Orbitz, and CarsDirect have programs that pay for attracting customers to their online store (basically, to get you to purchase on their site and not that of a competitor). AGLOCO Members will be able to take advantage of these programs simply by having the Viewbar active while they are shopping.

The AGLOCO Viewbar software will be capable of sensing when you are making the type of purchase for which AGLOCO has a revenue sharing program (and by potentially directing you to that partner if you are not already on their site). If you make a purchase, the Viewbar will collect the commission from that purchase. Initially, this revenue may be added to the general AGLOCO revenue pool for expenses and Member distribution, but eventually a sizeable percentage for that revenue will go directly into the Member’s account. Thus, the more a Member buys, the more money will be put into his or her account in addition to regular AGLOCO income. Without the Viewbar, that commission would simply not be paid, or might go to someone else.

What does active surfing mean relative to AGLOCO?

Can I just keep a web site up on my computer for five hours a month and make money? NO.

You have to actively surf on the internet to earn cash for your online usage. If you use a software piracy device that constantly clicks through websites, AGLOCO's anti-hacking instruments will detect and - after investigation - disconnect your account.

You have to be an active online Member to get the benefit of your referrals' surfing. If you surf only 50% of the maximum payable hours a month and your referrals each surf 100%, you will be credited with only 50% of the payable surfing time for each referral.
