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.
