15,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups
It’s been ten days since my last AGLOCO update so I figure it was time to check my stats again. I’ve been averaging 100 new sign ups per day so that should mean I’ve crossed another milestone if the rate held up. Sure enough, it did.
The AGLOCO Viewbar - It Really Does Exist
The AGLOCO Viewbar is real and it does exist. I know because I’m using it right now. Akshay Mavani sent me a beta Viewbar to try out and give my impressions.
The Viewbar software is a 1.8 MB download. When installed, it takes up 5 MB of space. The Viewbar is not any bigger than the Windows task bar. The version I am running shows ads by Google and Google is the default search engine. The ads are not targeted at the moment because it hits only one ad server. The rest of the ad servers have not been connected.
Besides allowing us to make money while surfing the Internet, the Viewbar does offer some useful tools. It has a nice Google search box and keeps tracks of all your favorites from Internet Explore and FireFox. There is also a quick link to the Windows calculator and calendar. I’m sure more features will be added in later versions.
From what I can tell from playing around with it, the Viewbar looks ready to go. The main sticking point is the integration with the ad servers. Once that problem is solved, everyone will be able to download it.
Here’s a video of the Viewbar in action. Please feel to post it on your blog. Just remember to give proper credit.

LOL! I thought the Viewbar would be out already…geez…how long could it take to program it?
Reply to this commentProgramming is all done. It’s just getting the bar to work with the ad server. Hopefully, this won’t take too much longer. On a cool note, I see I’m about to break 1,000 direct sign ups.
Reply to this commentcongrats,john
Reply to this commentseems that whatever you do, you do it well
your rss readership is reaching 5000 now
wow!
Reply to this commentThanks for the video demo. Posting this video will probably entice even more users to sign up, so great idea!
Here is my AGLOCO promo site:

Then I guess that would mean the programming is not done
Agloco made the biggest mistake of any development project and that was to provide an estimated release date. 
Reply to this commentcongrats john !! nice going !
Reply to this commentWell I feel embarassed even talking about it to friends now. Promises were given and broken and those who were likely to use it are now laughing at it and me. Get rich quick NO, become a laughable geek YES. Wake me up when it is an actual, usable, profitable product. Anyone want to see my NON-AGLOCO blog?

John hi, I have tried everything from the simple and understanding letters, memos, face to face even begging my associates, friends and family members to register. It’s like talking to a rock. Nothings working, since March I only have a total of 7 including myself.
am I doing wrong.
Kind regards, Confused and bewildered
Reply to this commentPLZ RELEASE IT QUICKLY WE ARE DOING WAIT …….
Reply to this commentTAHNX..
hi there,
how is it going with the Viewbar? any ideas when it will be ready for use?
cheers
Reply to this commentAre you getting these signups using the bar that I keep waiting for?
Reply to this commentI looked at the video and notice that it is running google adsense on it, but as far as I know it is illegal for anyone to put adsense on desktop applications/software. Is there something that I am missing???
Reply to this commenthwy waht is a adsense and why is it illegal?
Reply to this commentI think they shouldn’t have made all these promises as to when the Viewbar was going to be “officially” released. It just makes people disappointed when there are delays.
Thanks for the sneak peak into your computer room, John!
Reply to this commentquite right
they have put off the timetable quite a few times now
Reply to this commentHey I’m just impressed that it’s not vapourware… The thing actually exists.
Reply to this commentWhy do u think so. All are wiaiting for its release.
Reply to this commentWell, they were pretty confident for an end of April release but that never happened. There were also promises before about the release, but nothing happened.
I am aware these things require testing and such, but I mean what’s taking them so long?
Reply to this commentThe ViewBar is old technology! All the cool kids will be using the ViewCAR!

Reply to this commentBy the time the viewbar does come out, I wouldn’t be surprised if there actually WAS such a thing as a ViewCar LOL.
Reply to this commentLOL
Reply to this commentthats funny…..it is expected to be out…in weeks, months, years…no in the future! thats really cool…
Reply to this commentNaw, it was actually released in the past. It just didn’t work out then.
Reply to this commentIt’s retro.
Kumiko always gets to test out the cool products! You’ve got to fill us in on your secret Kumiko
Reply to this commentHonestly,
I don’t believe the whole technical problems thing. I’d not be surprised if there was another reason they haven’t released it, in terms of monetization and stuff.
Reply to this commenti agree its like the hype building around vista
Reply to this commenthey jhon
Reply to this commentreally u amazing i have question
i have 76 direct ref
and 80 ext. ref.. how much i can earn monthly .. approx pls
thanks
i keep telling everyone that this isn’t a scam, but they wont believe me and keep telling me how screwed i will be. their so skeptical…i dont know wat to tell them
Reply to this commentSeriously, I’ve lost faith in this whole AGLOC thing. How can you guys cause such an inordinate delay in releasing it..its pathetic!!
anyways, congrats on the 15000 john!
Reply to this commentHello,
I still don’t get it with statement from agloco. They said they will give viewbar to 50,000 members per day.
If now AGLOCO already have 10 million members.
Then, HOW MANY MONTHS DO AGLOCO TAKE TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE MEMBER 10th MILLION ?
Could anyone tell me. Thank you
Reply to this commentRustan
I was hoping the viewbar should come quickly, yet until now I haven’t seen the darn thing at all besides at John Chows page, and I am very disappointed at that.
Reply to this commentI am getting the feeling the site owners of Aglogo are pulling our legs, as the delay of publication has been reaching far beyond the made promises.
Ok guys, stop dreaming and start thinking. Do you really mean that somebody will give you the money?! It’s simple math - thousands, maybe millions of net people are in the system now, thousands and millions are going to join agloco in future. Again, do you really think, that somebody will give you a thousands bucks? Where he will get them? I saw some google adsense in the video, do you know how many you’re gonna get if you use google adsense? It’s just a cents! Nobody in the whole world would give you so many money for nothing and nobody in the world (except Bill Gates and others:) has the possibility to give you that amount of money. This is gonna be some students project, or in the worse way, some kind of scam or something like that. Please count and think.
Reply to this commentAwesome John and congratulations! Ill be checking that video out when I get to a better internet connection.
Reply to this commentOk I just checked it out. Looks pretty cool. But John, we really need to work on your video skills.
Reply to this commentHey John.
I was thinking to join your AGLOCO network, or at least check it out first, but you know what? The link “Join My AGLOCO Network” is broken.
Cheers.
Reply to this commentOps! It’s fixed now.

Reply to this commentAwesome, glad to see some more progress being made. I can’t wait to see what Kumiko has to say
hehe j/k Kumiko
Reply to this commentI’ve still got LOTS to say about AGLOCO!
I’m glad they’ve finally got the ViewBar running (well, they’ve got it displaying Adsense at least) but what I’d like to know is how many people will use that viewbar for the months (in AGLOCO time could be years) before they start paying people?
Kumiko
Reply to this commenthaha, well said
Reply to this commentThey don’t really have a plan for actually paying people right now, just giving them ownership of the company.
Which may or may not pay money.
Reply to this commentMan … I just made a video for the Wii Promo … ha ha ha … we’re all making videos tonight!

Reply to this commentAny word on a Linux version? I asked AGLOCO early on and the response wasn’t promising.
Reply to this commentI think a Mac version will come out long before a Linux version. That is if they even do a Linux version.
Reply to this comment2. 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.

Reply to this commentTheir loss.
Reply to this commentAGLOCO is doing pretty well for themselves anyway — I don’t think they’re out to lose anything.
Reply to this comment
hello
Reply to this commentyeah good going Agloco keep it up
Reply to this commentThat’s cool that you have so many signups… man I am so jealous. I’ve got 4 people under my wing. Hehe… it’s been a long time hopefully those people I referred to remember to download the viewbar. hehe
Reply to this commentwell, if it makes you feel better, i’ve got none.
Reply to this commentnull
I think John has so much because he advertises Agloco SO well; it’s just been like a huge chain reaction for him. I’ve never even heard of Agloco until I started reading John Chow dot Com.
Reply to this commentsame here
maybe john should start some kinda Agloco club
Reply to this commentWell, I think John’s Agloco network IS his Agloco club. 15,000 sign-ups in such a relatively short time — simply amazing.
Reply to this commentThank you John for getting information from the tight lips. Did they give any information on how long we are looking at for launch?
Reply to this commentAt this point a lot of people aren’t relying on scheduled release dates anymore. Not that they all lost faith or anything; it’s just that they’ll believe it when they actually see it…and be happy nonetheless.
Reply to this commentvery cool john thanks for making me so happy take care man!
Reply to this commentEMFOO.COM
I’ve been toying around with it as of yesterday myself as well. It’s definitely a welcome change form having no viewbar access. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
Shine on,
Reply to this commentAaron
So it looks from the video that the Agloco bar is only generating revenue from Google links. Is this correct?
Reply to this commentTHANKS JOHN IM SO EXCITED NOW!!
Reply to this commentWhatever John. Now you’re suddenly posting about the viewbar itself like it’s all cheese and crackers when you just wrote the following on the agloco blog…
“Hey Brain (sic),
You posted in a comment that the Viewbar would be ready later this week. It is now the end of the week and there’s no Viewbar.
I would imagine your advertisers must be getting pretty upset with you. I deal with advertisers all the time and I know when I tell them their ads will start on this date and run till that date, they expect that. If I miss the start date, they start demanding discounts, or worst, pull their ads.
The 17 ad networks you’re dealing with can’t be very happy either. I’m sure more than a few were expecting a huge increase in sellable ad inventory and told many of their clients about the new marketplace. They may have even lined up a bunch of sales. Now they look like fools. Whatever inventory their clients ordered would surely be gone in the next few days.
I find it amazing that a company who’s sole source of income is advertising would think about getting their ad server to work with the viewbar last. Shouldn’t that have been the first thing you did?
Now you have pissed off members and you’re going to have pissed off advertisers. I wrote an email to AK asking for conference call. I got no reply. That seems to be the communication mode lately.
I think it’s time for a management change. If you guys can’t bring this to market, then get a team in there.”
Hello? Isn’t that the very definition of lame?!
Reply to this commentThat’s call putting a fire under a company’s feet. As you can see, it worked.
Reply to this commentOoooh that’s just so evil, John LOL.
Reply to this commentjohn that was some comment
Reply to this commentSUPER! to the point and to the pinpoint that is…..i liked that….but then…wht you said is right….i dnt think agloco is going to make money ….at least in this year!
http://www.theanand.com/blog/index.php/money-making-missions/agloco-scam-top-10-points-to-ponder/
Reply to this commentnicely put…the arrogant john !
Reply to this commentI’m not sure that management even exists. AGLOCO is going to give 10% of earnings to “Infomediary Services Corporation” to manage the company but I can’t find any trace of this corporation existing anywhere!
Reply to this commentNo complaints with the viewbar so far. Let’s hope it stays that way!
Shine on,
Reply to this commentAaron
I AM SO HAPPY TO JOIN THE WEB .YEAH!
Reply to this commentNice to put a voice to your blog John. I think you should do little video’s more often.
Reply to this commentYeah, I agree; it was really good hearing your voice. All this time I was imagining you talked like Yoda — all smart and knowledgeable LOL.
Reply to this commentI still don’t get the idea on how agloco generate revenue for user, like alladvantage did or like 12dailypro. Just watch the space for now
Reply to this commentThanks for the video.
Reply to this commentThanks for the update John. Thanks for your trust and belief in this idea. You are the man.
Reply to this commentHi
Reply to this commentI am the owner of http://aglocosviewbar.blogspsot.com and would like
to have a link exchange with you as we the same concept, thats “Agloco”
. I have added you in my blog(In the link partner section) and hope you
will do the same… Thanks and have a nice day
You are going to make so much money on this, that you maybe will double your income from this blog.
Reply to this commentThe video was very enlightening, I have to say; it definitely gave me a more complete idea of how beneficial Agloco can be in site revenue and building networks.
Reply to this commentMy favorite quote from the video:
“..Luckily I can read Chinese…well maybe now..”
Classic
Good job though showing us it in action
Reply to this commenterr that was supposed to read:
‘..Luckily I can read Chinese.. well maybe not..’
Reply to this commentI have 7.. so sad… But when it is aviable I have a fwe hundren people I can spam…. hehe
Reply to this commentno spam please…hehe
Reply to this commentI really want to believe that this works, but it reminds me of All Advantage.
Reply to this commentSome of the people behind AllAdvantage are the same ones who came up with Agloco, right?
Reply to this commentright,absolutelyy
Reply to this commentya u r saying right some is behind for this adnavtage’s and now we do the hepl of thse people’s so plz do the help with me…………
Reply to this commentI heard someone’s voice at background
Reply to this commentooh..a beta version…guess the real thing isint too far away then huh !! Cant wait to make money surfing the net !!
Reply to this commentI’m glad to see the Viewbar will be small, the same height as the Windows Taskbar.
The fact that it has a search tool should make it easier for people to replace the Google Toolbar with it. Why search for free when you can be paid to search?
Nice beta testing.
Reply to this commentVery cool that they have the toolbar working thus far, even though it’s not talking to all the ad servers quite yet. But at least we’re seeing progress!
Btw, I would like to suggest a different way of taking videos of stuff on a comp. Using a camcorder to record what’s happening on a monitor generally doesn’t wield very good results. Using recording software that records what you’re doing on your desktop would probably be much better, and clearer. One that comes to mind is Fraps (yes, I’m a gamer
), though I do know that there are others out there as well.
I imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to dub your voice over the whole video. I actually haven’t played with Fraps myself, but I’ve seen plenty of vids which included full voice-overs, so I imagine you can talk on a mic while recording the action.
Anyhow, that’s just my suggestion.
Reply to this commentI can be nit-picky when it comes to video clarity.
Hi, I’m an italian blogger. i have just posted in my blog about your video.. and your blog. it’s cool!!
Reply to this commentMY BEST WISHES AND SUCCESS TO ALL OF YOU.

Reply to this commentYour Very Lucky John !!
Did it make your PC lag at all?
Reply to this commentIt didn’t have any effects on PC performance, but I run a very powerful PC. I’ll test it on my notebook and let you know.
Reply to this commentThanks for the video, you are very amiable to publish it.
I put in my blog.
a greeting from Spain.
Reply to this commentJohn, thanks for posting the video. It was good to see the surfbar “in action”. Hopefully this will help keep people interested in joining Agloco.
Reply to this commentThanks, that really makes me feel more sure about Agloco
Reply to this commentI thought it was bigger. This is great, thanks John, for making me sure that Agloco isn’t just another hoax. Can’t wait for the official launch. I wonder if they will make a version for Linux?
Reply to this commentWow, you have a huge network…
Reply to this commentI dont know, How to create a good website like you sir, Please advice me

Reply to this commentHey John nice porsche on your desktop. I am a fan of porsche cars..
John, what your view on Agloco Share and Agloco Dividends
Reply to this commentI still dont know why something which didnt work 8 years ago should work for now. It’s still the same thing…
Reply to this commentThe difference is that before they paid a set rate that they couldn’t backup, now they are paying a flexible rate that depends on revenue. They may not pay enough to stick around, but at least they won go bankrupt.
Reply to this commentGuys did you drink anything before making the movie?
I was getting dizzy with all the camera shakes 
LoL
Reply to this commentGood video, anyway, I hope this bubble wont burst…
well after all
Agloco come up with the viewbar
Reply to this commentHi Sir John,
thanks for sharing it.<
