A Guide to Affiliate Programs and internet scams. Scam or Not? Want to know if something is a scam?
15 Mar
AGLOCO has been the centre of focus in the affiliate marketing world for some time now and it has become somewhat old-hat to still be talking about it. But this is not take away the fact AGLOCO has got off to a very promising start with over “50,000″ founding members, as they reported in their recent email newsletter. (a founding member is what they call active members who have made at least 1 referral). In short it has become one of the leading affiliate programs.
AGLOCO stands for ‘A Global Community’ and is designed by the a creators of Alladvantage; which failed mostly due to an ‘over-payout’, where Alladvantage stuck to their guns and paid their members what they owed, despite not being able to afford it. We can feel safe in the fact that AGLOCO almost definatly won’t be an internet scam and will be a paying affiliate program. AGLOCO will not make the same ‘over payment’ mistake due to their improved custom Viewbar technology and improved business plan, which will enable them to afford the payouts. Some famous bloggers including John Chow (who make $250,000 with Alladvantage) have displayed their support for AGLOCO and have some useful tips about how to make referrals.
How can you make money with AGLOCO?
As mentioned above AGLOCO have designed a Custom Viewbar that everyone can download for free. It sits very discreetly on the screen (see the screen shot below) and tracks the sites you visit. (it is not spyware because it does this visibly and can be easily uninstalled). The tracking allows it to target advertisements to your interests with great precision. The Viewbar can be minimised at anytime and there are not popup ads or anything that will detract from your web usage.
Spot the Viewbar - its pretty unnoticeable isn’t it!
Each time anyone makes a purchase via a Viewbar advertisement a large portion goes to AGLOCO. This is how AGLOCO makes its money, 90% of which go straight to its founding members, you!.
Note: You do not have to make any purchases, just browse the web as usual using the AGLOCO Viewbar and you will earn.
At the moment you can earn by using the Viewbar for up to 5 hours per month, this figure may rise or fall as AGLOCO continues. The Viewbar is set to be released in approximately 4-8 weeks. You earn more if you make referrals. (Read more for earnings predictions).
AGLOCO is planning to float on the stock market by the end of the year. Members have the chance to ‘earn shares’ in AGLOCO. They do this by them and their referrals using the Viewbar. The AGLOCO member calculator can be used to calculate the number of hours you and your referrals can rack up using the Viewbar each month; which gives an indication of monthly earnings and the number of shares you will earn.
How Much money can you make with AGLOCO?
According to The Simmons Report:
- A user who has no referrals should receive ownership in AGLOCO worth on average about $150. (plus monthly cash distributions)
- The average value of an AGLOCO user’s referral network should be $30 each in ownership shares plus the referrer’s share of monthly cash distribution.
- The average AGLOCO direct referral should be worth in excess of $3,000 each
- The analysis also shows a range of monthly cash distributions of between $5 and $15 a month per user.
- The AGLOCO business model looks theoretically sound – (assuming they get to a decent size quickly - at least 500,000 users within nine months to a year)
Scam or Not?
Given the history of the company (Alladvantage) and the fact that several famous bloggers have staked their reputation upon AGLOCO’s success it seems very unlikely that AGLOCO is a scam. If you are serious about affiliate programs, the real question is:
Is there enough time left to make referrals?
The answer is yet, but you need to start quickly. Once the Viewbar is released there will be many more potential referrals but the competition will hot up too. You can get ahead of the game and join AGLOCO.

Agloco is a great program! The viewbar is set to launch within the next 30 days or so which means $$$ for us users. Good Luck to you!
[…] I would recommend an alternative affiliate program that involves getting paid to search the web, but without a more well thought out business model that idea simply doesn’t stand up. AGLOCO is the most closely related alternative. They have taken a long time perfecting their Custom Toolbar (which is yet to be released) and so I have much more faith in them.
