Agloco: Get Paid to Surf and Spam

When I first heard of Agloco (aff), I considered it as a flop pyramid scam, but I was wrong. Agloco turned out to be immensely popular among everybody. I’m not in a position to comment over Agloco because their viewbar isn’t available yet, but I’m a member of Agloco and I’ll try to invite my friends into it (hoping that I’ll generate some revenues). Sadly spammers have been trying to take Agloco to the masses by spamming innocent members of forums, discussion groups and other social networks.

It’s OK to invite your friends and family, It’s OK to use your blog to introduce Agloco to your readers, but going off the track and spamming random members of social networks (like MyBlogLog and Orkut) is surely wrong. Spammers have created new profiles by the name ‘agloco’, just for the sake of spamming. If you want to introduce someone to Agloco, why hide?

I don’t think Agloco is a scam in itself. It will be interesting to see how much revenue we can generate by actually browsing with their viewbar installed. Big boys like John Chow might be successful, but we being small timers, it might be hard for us to generate revenue out of Agloco.

Have you been a victim to such spam? Share your experience.

    yeah only recently I signed up after much hype around the net…I actually thought the viewbar has come and I was figuring out from where to download and only then I found out it hasn’t come yet :-(

    Mr.Byte: Same happened with me. Everybody was talking about Agloco, so I decided to try it out. Later I realized that their viewbar is not available yet.

    Thilak, I also signed up, but I must say that I am very skeptical about making real money with this. A couple of bucks monthly sounds reasonable, but that is it.

    thanks for the preview. Though I never join it before, after reading your points of view I don’t think I should join it either.

    Yeah, if you didn’t get in early or don’t have a large community, you probably won’t get much. I started about two months ago and have around 130 users. You also have to think about how many people will remember to download the viewbar. So probably only half of what I have will download it.

    Thilak it’s not a scam but but i don’t think it worths if you work part time , because you will get paid for only 5 hours monthly but how much for 5 hours didn’t got that and for serious money we need to refer our friends .

    Guys,

    Did you looked into Kumiko’s insight on Agloco @ http://kumikosuzuki.blogspot.com/2007/02/agloco-will-not-make-money-online-ever.html ?

    My take is that she’s probable right. The expectation of an average user to make more than $12 from Agloco is not realistic.

    I don’t believe in MLM, and thus won’t join Agloco, but i wish you the best of the lucks.

    Hello, where did you get that Internet explorer image from? Is that forum or discussion group? If you are a regular member and routine contributor to a certain forum or another type of online community, I don’t think it is wrong to introduce AGLOCO. I do agree that posting on groups that you have no previous affiliation is wrong though.

    Despite some of the skeptics here, NOW is still an excellent time to sign up for AGLOCO and start gathering referrals. There is still an enormous opportunity out there.
