19,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups

written by John Chow on June 24th, 2007

It’s been twenty days since I did an AGLOCO update. Ever since AGLOCO released the Viewbar, the site has been hammered with requests. The site was so slow I couldn’t log in to check my stats on some days. Things have improved since AGLOCO offloaded the download to Tucows. Here’s where my account stands today.

As you can see, I’ve passed the 19,000 sign up mark. At my current rate of growth, I expect to cross the 20,000 milestone in another eight or nine days. That’s the cool thing about a system like AGLOCO – it will keep building even if I do nothing. You will also noticed that my stats now shows surfing hours. AGLOCO pays up to five hours for personal surfing (I did that while in Taipei) and up to 1.25 hours for everyone in your network. Those 1.25 hours added up to over 2,700 hours so far.

How Payment Will Work

I’ve been receiving a tremendous amount of emails from members (both in my network and outside) asking how payment will work and when we will get paid. At this time, I don’t have all the answers. The next time I talk to AGLOCO, I should have more information. However, I can tell you how the process will work.

At the end of the month (but more likely end of the quarter), AGLOCO will look at how much they brought in from advertising revenue, remove 10% as their fee, and divide the remainder into total network surfing hours. This will give us the pay rate per hour. Take this rate, multiply it by your total network surfing hours and that’s how much you make. Alternatively, you can take shares in the company at a rate of one share per hour. However, my feeling is everyone will take cash with the first payment (if only to show that we do get paid).

What the base pay rate will be is anybody’s guess. I wouldn’t expect it to be too much in the beginning. It will improve as more members join the network and more advertisers become aware of the new market.

Two Keys To Making Money With AGLOCO

The first key is obvious – sign up more people. The more people you have in your network, the more money you make. The second key is to get those people to use the Viewbar. This is a lot harder than it appears. I have 19,108 people in my network but they have surfed a combined 2,717.5 hours out of a maximum possible 23,885 hours. That gives me a NAI (Network Activity Index) of just 11.4%. The NAI will improve as more members download the Viewbar. If I can double the NAI, it would have the same effect as doubling the size of my network.

Now that the Viewbar is out and AGLOCO is able to handle the download requests, signing up new members should be a lot easier. And unlike old members who signed up before the Viewbar (and may have forgotten about it), the new members will start using the Viewbar right away. The best course of action would be to continue signing up new members and remind the old members that the Viewbar is available for download and you can start making money from it.

  1. 19105… :shock:
    I wonder how much they’ll pay for it.

  2. MK

    I keep thinking about signing up there, but I know the chances of me making any serious money off it are extremely low.

    I never have referrals for anything x.X

  3. Agloco looks preatty good to be honest.

  4. Wow, top 0.01 – well done john, just let us know how much you make when they pay out! :mrgreen: :twisted:

  5. GA

    To be honest I think Agloco still needs a month or two. So I would tell people to bare with it for now.

    I have to say that I think the simmonds report is massively overstated at least for the first 8 months or so.

    I have a box of agloco leaflets, I am going to wait a month or two to put them out.

  6. Excellent work John if agloco actually works out you will make a killing :mrgreen:

  7. I got their message and I was excited to put up the viewbar only to discover that it won’t work on my system! :evil:

    Any ideas on how to get it set up on a Windows 98SE? I want a piece of the action! I don’t have a big network tho.

    John, any idea if this is hanging people up? Your % may stay low because of this. I’m not sure how many older machines there are out there – it could be a pretty good number. I mean, the computer still works and all.

    Does everyone just rush out to get the latest and the greatest upon every release? I kind of doubt it…

    Just a thought,

  8. Don’t you think john that agloco can be a scam?
    Made some research about what people are talking about agloco and found a user who says that the agloco toolbar has a virus/spyware.
    Agloco another scam

    What do you think about it?

  9. I think it will be interesting to see how this AGLOCO thing pans out. A lot of skeptics, but a lot of adopters as well. Personally I think with the amount of people they already have signed up, the only way AGLOCO can fail is if they mis-manage the thing to the ground.

    • or being banned from their affiliate programs accounts.

    • “mis-manage the thing to the ground”
      You mean like having countless delays on the view bar that their entire business hinges on? :roll:

      Here’s another problem they have: the people that will install this are going to be tech oriented people. Those people are notoriously ad blind and don’t click or convert nearly as often. They’re going to be hard pressed to show advertisers value and if they don’t get advertisers, they won’t have any money to shell out.

  10. Todd

    I love the site. I am sure you have answered this question at some point, but I cannot find the answer. What wordpress theme do you use? Just curious.

  11. Todd

    What wordpress theme do you use? :lol:

  12. John Chow, I wrote an article about Agloco. It contains how their payment system works, along with how many people have misconceptions of how they think Agloco works.

    Give it a read and you’ll learn some things about Agloco :) .

  13. i have no ideas that why people would join this fake programe even you don’t know how their system work and not sure whether you can get pay.
    if you have not join Agloco,
    i recommend to read this nice post,

  14. I’m wondering how much money the owners think they will make these days if they’re not even willing to buy a bit more server power to facilitate the downloads. C’mon John…sell them some servers via TTZ!! You’ll be the first to get money from AGLOCO! :)

  15. Wow! 19000 sign ups. That’s awesome john. I hope my agloco reaches just 10 percent of what you have. :twisted:

  16. I’m also interested about money you will make. Because 19 000 is really big number, you can practically have your own Agloco :)

  17. I’m in your network. But I have no sing up so far.

  18. tried it but i don’t like it though.

    besides, it’d watch your every move unless you switch it off.

    it could well be some spying programme…

  19. Dang John! I have maybe 10 referrals…

  20. 19,000 is more than impressive. I could only wish you bigger numbers in the coming months, John.

  21. I downloaded the toolbar the 2nd day after release, and I can say that I’m not impressed. I left it on for 5 days and I know I surfed the internet for more than 5 hours. Yet I still have no hours accumulated on my account.

  22. Please note that AGLOCO pays up to only five hours for personal surfing

    • Which really sucks.
      I’m guessing that will be less then three dollars. Oh, well, after they sell the shares I mean. Since your really surfing for shares – not cash. That’s assuming they don’t get pulled by the SEC for distributing unregistered shares to the public.

      :roll:

  23. I don’t think the masses will use the viewbar that much. Other than the search box, it doesn’t really create any value for users.

  24. Wow, you definitely have the potential to make lots off of that (depending on how payouts turnout).

  25. I’ve worked for companies that forbid you to download any Viewbars/Toolbars. Do you have any idea what type of information is being sent back to AGLOCO? Any security risks that you’ve come across?

  26. Wow!More than 19,000 sign ups and more than 2700 surfing hours. That looks great. I just hope that that Agloco will make a decent initial payout.That will surely be a killer punch to the skeptics. But let ,e ask u one question:How to you remind old signups to download the view bar? Do u liaise with Agloco?

  27. Wow you are cool, very great 19.000 member it’s not easy… I’m just join agloco and just get 3 member.

  28. The payment terms is one thing everyone is waiting for. Lets hope it comes up good. John, we’ll be waiting to see your revenue from Agloco. :D

  29. My “NAI” is 20.3%, ha!
    But I have only 400 referrals so it’s not comparable :)

  30. Hi, Master ,
    I just download and joined agloco and I would like ask you, how to put agloco banner with my ID in my Blog http://secretpaint.blogspot.com

    :oops:

  31. Frank

    Maybe the payout will be in Flooz or Beenz.
    I expect AGLOCO will go the way of AllAdvantage and other defunct companies that offered paid-to-surf opportunities back in the dot com heyday.

  32. those who are suspicious about the system also glance at the report of the Economist.Thanks for your tips and navigations,dear John Chow…

  33. Dammit John.. stop stealing all my referrals. I only have 2.

  34. maybe that is the reason why nobody
    signed-up under me… :roll:

    congrats john. :lol:

  35. Hi John! Good work. I’m also glad you liked NAI: it’s the index I defined on Agloco blog :grin:
    I’m happy a great blogger like you use what is an idea by me.
    Of course…my NAI=32,7% at this moment (295 referrals)

    ciao!

  36. Wow John, I can’t wait till I refer somebody to AGLOCO. I hope it happens for me soon.

  37. Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to let you know I’ll be interviewing Brian Greenwald of Agloco management during the week of July 8th.

    Partners in success!
    Mike Klingler

  38. Just wanted to say that I think Agloco is really good for those that are looking for long-term residual income. For those kinds of people it is fun to see how it works out.. but you’ll have to really get a lot of referrals now so it will continue to grow into something large if the money would ever be substantial. I have about 3700 referrals and a few in my team of done will with Skype.

  39. hey all.
    Since the site is so laggy, So i upload the viewbar installer on megaupload.

    here is the link.
