19,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups
written by John Chow
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.

Top 0.1%… Sweet!
it means jack if that impressive figure does not turn into cash
Looking forward to seeing when this actually turns into money John.
Yeah, with a network as large as his it could actually be worth it.
19105…
I wonder how much they’ll pay for it.
If they are smart they’ll pay out as much as they possibly can to generate buzz. Everyone’s waiting for the first payment to see if it’s just a scam or if it will really work. If they get to the end of the month and people get paid pennies they are going to be facing a lot more negative press than they are now.
I honestly am surprised that they managed to sign so many people up without having a payout. If they do follow your advice and have a decent payout it is sure to explode online as a new way to generate revenue.
I’m cusious if the economies of scale gone work for this one. users are very suspicious about additional software these days, and rightfully so.
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
Has anybody used the tool bar yet or seen one?
You can download it anytime by logging into your account.
Agloco looks preatty good to be honest.
Just as ALL-ADVANTAGE was too good to have distributed $100 million Dollars to participants in 1999-2000!
wake up friend
well, andy, it’s just a bar
how good can it be?
i’ve seen it, used it and uninstalled it
I think that’s gonna be the op of most users.
OMG
Wow, top 0.01 - well done john, just let us know how much you make when they pay out!
Of course!
Nobody can beat John in honest and transparent disclosures of his blog incomes, and AGLOCO earnings by John would not be an exception.
He is a trailblazer in that respect.
Have you come across many of these affiliates that forbid you to publish your income?
what if they go broke and noone gets paid?
Then you go on to the next project. That’s like asking, “What if Google goes broke and we no longer have AdSense?”
Never place all your eggs in one basket.
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.
I would rather agree with John that we should wait for Quaterly repoert by AGLOCO to get the full picture.
Afterall Google Inc. publishes quarterly reports to both shareholders and the general public.
yeah, that’d be a good idea
Excellent work John if agloco actually works out you will make a killing
ell make so much i dont want to think about it
With 19,000 sign ups and counting? Absolutely.
I got their message and I was excited to put up the viewbar only to discover that it won’t work on my system!
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,
Pam Hoffman
While most don’t get the latest and greatest, I doubt many still use Windows 98.
hi jhon can you tell me roughly how much they look to pay per hour
The rich get richer
That is the ‘evil’ philosophy as postulated by John Chow. ha ha ha!
Not all rich people are born rich though, so they had to start somewhere, right?
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?
You know, I think working at a job is a scam but billions of people fall for it.
Thanks John for your answer
we have to wait and see the first payments and see how they will pay as they did not take from you an address or even paypal email.
If you go to My Account then My Profile, you can enter your address information there.
John Do’t worry as the “doubting Thomases” would soon know that: making money online, is also a faith adventure, and ONLY those who plunge into it, bask in the fullness of the harvest, just like AGLOCO
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.
Yes, but I don’t expect all those Havard guys to mess up. The antecedent of ALL-ADVANTAGE would testify for them.
Agloco has 3 phases, like I always say, 1. Promises, 2. Proofs and 3. Performance(Payments).
We are now at the Proofs stage. Where the skepticisms collapse like a pack of cards!
The next phase which may take some 3-6 months time would be the Payment stage. Because the Phase 2 (PROOFS) is a reality today, the 3rd Phase is inevitable and inescapable for anybody that participates in the Agloco venture.
Still, you can’t take it against the skeptics for wanting to see “phase 3″ before signing up themselves, can you?
“mis-manage the thing to the ground”
You mean like having countless delays on the view bar that their entire business hinges on?
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.
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.
What wordpress theme do you use?

[...] Agloco exploded onto the internet just late last year and since then has been hitting forums, websites, and blogs ever since trying to refer people while the members waited for the “Viewbar” (which has been released since June 6th). One of the well-known bloggers, John Chow, has already earned 19,000 sign-ups. [...]
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 :).
I wonder how Traders Narrative feels about your ripping his article?
I didn’t rip it at all.
