AGLOCO launching its viewbar soon, now is the time to join!

[Pryda]

I heard some rumours that AGLOCO will launch their viewbar at the end of this month. So now is the perfect moment to join them and build your own network.

For those of you that haven't heard about AGLOCO, here are some snippets I found:

For those who were online in 1999, you may remember AllAdvantage a Get paid to surf program. Basically, by displaying the AllAdvantage toolbar while you surfed, you got paid. And when you referred people to the program and they surfed, you got paid. It worked VERY well, except that the management team at the company could not handle the economic recession period from those times.

Don't get me wrong. I earned big time with this program. And it was incredibly viral.

A little bite of a background will make u understand what I say.

AllAdvantage was launched on March 31, 1999, by its four founders Jim Jorgensen, Johannes Pohle, Carl Anderson, and Oliver Brock. During its nearly 2 years of operation, it raised nearly $200 Million in venture capital and grew to more than 10 million members in its first 18 months of operation.
By the time it closed its doors, the company had paid out over $120 million to its members.

Since then, I've been waiting for a similar opportunity to arrive. It just has!

Here's the deal.

What happens when you sign up for AGLOCO is simple: you install a piece of software on your computer that displays a small Viewbar below your current web browser window.
Your money extends 5 levels deep - you, signing up friends who sign up their friends who sign up their friends who sign up their friends who sign up their friends, and you make money at every level.

There's a lot more to what you can do with your AGLOCO membership - you can get shares in the company, you can give your earned money to your favorite charity and more.

The toolbar is currently in beta, so you want to get as many people as possible signed up for the release NOW!

SIGN UP NOW! - FREE

Another site did some research and came to these conclusions:

# A user who has no referrals should receive ownership in AGLOCO worth on average about $150. (plus monthly cash distributions)
# The average value of an AGLOCO user?s referral network should be $30 each in ownership shares plus the referrer?s share of monthly cash distribution.
# The average AGLOCO direct referral should be worth in excess of $3,000 each (see example below for details)
# The analysis also shows a range of monthly cash distributions of between $5 and $15 a month per user.
# The AGLOCO business model looks theoretically sound ? (assuming they get to a decent size quickly - at least 500,000 users within nine months to a year)

AGLOCO wasn't even heard of 3 months ago and now it ranks #4,190 on Alexa.

It could be a big scam or a failure, but I'm willing to take that chance. Just register, place a link on your sites (adult sites are allowed) and watch those referrals add. I did it around Christmas and these are my stats right now:

As you can see, there's a big increase in the last month.

Oh my god, a net pyramid scheme. You people are fucking funny!

All Advantage was a huge scam, this looks like an even huger scam.

Didn't AllAdvantage pay a lot of people before they went bankrupt?
And aren't pyramid schemes programs where you have to pay money from your own pocket?

Hmm, they still haven't launched their viewbar, but this message was posted on their blog:

Viewbar Update: The engineers have informed me that the Viewbar release is currently scheduled for between Monday April 2 and Monday, April 16 (between 12 and 26 days from now.) I will keep you posted as I continue to hear word from them on progress. As they continually remind me, this is all dependent on the results of QA testing.

Meanwhile, I'm not complaining, my referrals have almost doubled since I made this thread

Agoco or whatever the fuck it is comes from the same scammers who made alladvantage. We all got fucked on that one, so watch out.

No, this is a webmaster forum ;) I'm not planning on using it myself, I just want to build a network. I got all my referrals from placing a few links on my forum.

I didn't say I got any referrals from here ;)

Yes, I'm afraid so.

I wouldn't call AllAdvantage a scam. They paid out millions of dollars and went bankrupt during the dotcom bubble burst.

Some positive news after all:

The AGLOCO Viewbar will be available for download this month. According to the company blog, AGLOCO will be sending an email directly to each member when their account is authorized for Viewbar download.

As we have discussed, we will be releasing the Viewbar first to Members who joined first. Currently, the plan is to have the Viewbar first be available to Members with ID#s beginning in BBBB to BBBF (as well as Members with an ID# beginning in “AGLO”). This is about 50,000 Members. We will then continue releasing the Viewbar to more and more Members in the order in which they signed up (again, all Members will be notified by email when their account is authorized for Viewbar download).

Another email from them:

Dear Pryda,

We will be releasing the AGLOCO Viewbar software soon and want to update Members on how things will work when it is released.

Each Member will get an email informing them that their Viewbar is available. It will contain detailed instructions on the download, which will be done from the agloco.com website. Members will be invited to download in groups of 50,000 a day for a two week period, with Members contacted in the order in which they signed up.

Shortly before the first set of download emails go out, you will receive an email notice that the AGLOCO website will be ?out of service? for a few hours ? this is necessary for us to move the Viewbar download system from the test server to the main servers.

Also, please be aware of the following:

1. AGLOCO Hours: You will accrue hours in your AGLOCO Member account (current maximum is five direct hours a month). Hours are earned during active surfing on the Internet. The Viewbar has a green light on it that notifies the Member when it is accruing time. Your referrals? surfing will accumulate hours for you at a 25% rate, meaning if one of your referrals surfs for the maximum five hours you will get 1.25 (0.25 x 5) hours credited to your total referral hours. You can only get credit referral hours up to the amount you directly surf (meaning if you surf 3 hours but a referral surfs 4, you will only get credit for the first 3 of your referral?s 4 hours). AGLOCO accrues these hours each month and also has a cumulative total of all hours earned. These hours are what AGLOCO will use to calculate cash and other distributions. The Viewbar contains a one click inactive button which turns it off and removes it from your screen at any time.
2. 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.
3. Cash Distributions: To be a sustainable entity in the long term, AGLOCO makes Member cash distributions from its positive cash flow (revenue minus costs). Therefore, please do not expect a check after the first couple of months as it will take time to collect revenue from advertisers and this revenue must exceed costs in order to make cash distributions to Members. We will be keeping Members informed of our financials and you can visit the Official company blog at http://blog.agloco.com for the latest updates.
4. Multiple Users on One Viewbar: As stated previously, multiple Members may use the same Viewbar on the same computer. Only one Viewbar download will be necessary as the Viewbar software will enable each Member to log in and log out using their AGLOCO Member ID# and password (obviously, only one Member ID# can be accumulating Viewbar hours at any one time). Please note, only one Viewbar is allowed on a screen at a time.
5. One-Time Download: The v1.0 Viewbar is purposely simplistic and minimalist, but it also comes equipped with an automatic self-updating feature. Once you download the Viewbar for the first time, your Viewbar will be seamlessly updated with new additions and features as they become available. These future features include the direct cash back feature when a Member purchases items on sponsor site and a portion of the purchase price is added back to the Member?s AGLOCO account (as described on the Official AGLOCO Blog at http://blog.agloco.com/index.php/post35/ . )

We look forward to your active participation in the AGLOCO community.

I really don't like this part:

You can only get credit referral hours up to the amount you directly surf (meaning if you surf 3 hours but a referral surfs 4, you will only get credit for the first 3 of your referral?s 4 hours).
