AGLOCO is a brand new product on the internet street - before you non-techy readers divert your attention elsewhere, you should consider reading a little further in this article.

Some have called AGLOCO a reincarnation of AllAdvantage. For anyone not familiar with the company name, AllAdvantage was an internet advertising company that chose to pay users a portion of the advertising revenue it generated by each users online viewing habits. Many factors played a part in this companies legendary fall and bankruptcy in early 2000 ranging from the dotcom bubble burst and reportedly overpaying its users. The big bucks in AGLOCO are yet to be proven, but many users report greater than 1k per month during the time they used AllAdvantage. The reason this is a prime time to talk about AGLOCO is because they are in their first week of release, and so you are among the first of users to hear of their system.

AGLOCO is on the street to be the return of AllAdvantage. Now before you get a bad taste in your mouth, this is a new group of people with a slightly twisted concept - though it has been said that history repeats itself. Now for that bad taste - I’m not overly eager or suggestive of the AGLOCO concept as it first appears to be a large P word. Yes P for pyramid scheme. In some sense, it is exactly a pyramid scheme! User A can earn reward for surfing the internet and can refer user B and C to do the same while earning a small portion of their earnings. Yup - that’s a pyramid scheme. What makes this NOT a pyramid scheme is the fact that you don’t have to pay anything into the product. How many pyramid talks have you heard where it will only cost you somewhere between $50 and $800 for classes and materials to get started without any promise of return. AGLOCO makes no promise of return, but they also don’t charge you a dime or take any of your time.

AGLOCO is now just beginning to accept new user registrations, but no one (not even beta test users) are collecting any money from their online surfing time just yet. That’s because AGLOCO is in the final stages of beta testing. AGLOCO works with the concept that you allow them to monitor your viewing habits online, they provide text ads in their tool bar, and you get some cash out of the deal. Think of it like using gmail and seeing targeted ads on the sidebar based of the email you are reading. AGLOCO is covering their butts right now because they won’t let anyone claim more than 5 internet viewing hours per month at this time. If you hit five hours per month, you are rolling in the cash like the biggest of internet users. I’m sure this is just a safety tactic to prevent robots and scammers from sucking them dry and claiming cash fist over fist in the first weeks of the launch.

My overall thought, I signed up because I want to hear and see what all the buzz is about. I think this COULD turn out to be a bad idea all around for the guys at AGLOCO, but that being said it could turn out to be a very good idea for the end users like myself. What if these guys get bought out and want to start sending pop ups on your screen anytime they want, or what if they switch to annoying audio advertisements instead of just the text at the bottom of the screen. These are what ifs, but I know that I can always opt out of the program later if this becomes reality. Today, you can sign up to become a registered user in the program, though you’ll have to wait until the official release before you can claim any viewing time. The rewards of this program do not require you to click on advertisements or change anything outside of your normal viewing habits. Do you change the way you email just because you use gmail? No - but they target ads at you just the same on the side. AGLOCO is the same concept, only they wish to share with you some cash for you giving some of your time in helping them understand the way that users surf the web. Below you can see how the tool bar will look while you browse the internet:

In the next several weeks AGLOCO will be releasing their tool bar for each user to download. This tool bar will serve as both the monitoring agent (which can be switched off at anytime) as well as the method for textual advertisements. Want to learn more or give it a try, Go visit AGLOCO’s Website and sign up. I’ll let you know what I find once they fully release their product. For now, go sign up and then come back and share your thoughts! I suggest you at least sign up and take a look, keep your spyware detection systems up to date, just in case something happens in the future! Also I think I should tell you that if you use the potential earnings calculator, you are viewing the display of shares you will earn within the company, this is not currently linked to a dollar amount. So if you are wondering why the number is so high, or why there is no marker as to the numbers depiction, you now know. Good Luck, Surf’s Up!
