The calculator assumes that each indirect referral will refer the same number of people. So in Scenario 2 you have 25 people in your network Vs. 10 in Scenario 1. That's why you make more. Also, you get 0.25 shares per hour for referrals whether they are direct or indirect. However, when cash payment starts, you will get more per hour for directs than indirects. That was how AllAdvantage did it and I'm pretty sure AGLOCO will go this route with cash payment as well because it will encourage people to sign up more direct referrals. Kenneth - The 1990's were also the time where everyone and their dog lived the high life and ate out at high end restaurants everyday. What were you eating? :) Or did the money train leave the station without you? Nick - No it does not mean it’s better to have less direct members.

I think there are two camps on this issue - the one is that any monitoring is spyware, the other that any unrequested monitoring is spyware. Monitoring is part of life. If we want customized home pages, to be paid for our viewing habits, etc., we've got to give a little - that being information about ourselves. If we aren't comfortable with the amount of info. they want, we don't have to utilize them. Though, I don't want them using that to strong arm us into giving detailed personal information which they can use in inappropriate ways, in general I think most reputable companies are doing a fine job maintaining the balance.

Although it's happening all the time, all over the web, to you and everybody, whether you want it or not. There are ways to protect yourself and to limit the amount of information people can capture (entire chapters about that in "Internet Privacy for Dummies"). The value proposition from AGLOCO is simply that since it's happening, you ought to profit from it. Not a deal that everybody cares to make, but I think it's good to have the option. And of course, variety is the spice of life! :) Regards, -Ray I would certainly agree that not everybody is keen on the idea of having their online behavior tracked, willingly or not, for the purpose of serving up ads.

Using Agloco member calculator: Scenario 1 Direct Member referrals: 10 Average number of referrals that you think each of your referrals will get: 0 Earnings/month: 17.5 Scenario 2 Direct Member referrals: 5 Average number of referrals that you think each of your referrals will get: 1 Earnings/month: 36.25 Does this mean that it is better to have less direct members referrals and more extended? John a quick question.

Using Agloco member calculator:

Scenario 1
Direct Member referrals: 10
Average number of referrals that you think each of your referrals will get: 0
Earnings/month: 17.5

Scenario 2
Direct Member referrals: 5
Average number of referrals that you think each of your referrals will get: 1
Earnings/month: 36.25

Does this mean that it is better to have less direct members referrals and more extended?
