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.
