(The Re-Launch Of AllAdvantage)
It Seems That Everyone Is Talking About AGLOCO, But I Have Noticed That More People Are More Interested In Getting People To Join Then They Are Telling People Exactly What It Is. I Hope That You Find This Post More Informative Then The Spam, Clueless and Otherwise Partial Informitive Posts. Now first things first, i'd like to note to everyone that AGLOCO is not to be confused with a autosurf, a hyip, ponzi and so on. It is a 100% legal and legit company, as is/was every other company Jim Jorgensen (founder of agloco) founded,
Lets Start With The History Of Agloco: Do you remember All Advantage? If you do then this is some great news for you! Because Agloco is the re-venture or the re-launch of the all advantage concept being set forth by the same people who brought you all advantage. If you are not familiar with All Advantage and the old school "get paid to surf" era, here is what you might want to know. AllAdvantage was an Internet advertising company that positioned itself as the world’s first "infomediary" by paying its users/members a portion of the advertising revenue generated by their online viewing habits. It became most well known for its slogan "Get Paid to Surf the Web," a phrase that has since become synonymous with a wide array of online ad revenue sharing systems (see, e.g., Paid to Surf). AllAdvantage was launched on March 31, 1999, by its four founders Jim Jorgensen (if you don't know who this guy is click the link to read about him), Johannes Pohle, Carl Anderson, and Oliver Brock. During its 2 years of operation, it raised nearly $200 Million in venture capital and grew to more than 10 million members in its first 18 months of operation. Within six months of the launch it was among the most visited web properties according to Nielsen/NetRatings and other Internet traffic survey firms and stayed within the top 20 throughout much of its existence. AllAdvantage contributed several concepts to the marketplace that continue to have impact today. For example, the company’s Viewbar TM software was one of the earliest desktop user tracking and ad targeting technologies. The Viewbar displayed advertisements in a narrow application window that could be docked to the bottom of the user's screen, targeting those advertisements to the content being viewed by the user as they browsed websites. The same technologies, minus the permission of users or monetary compensation, became the basis of the Adware and Spyware industries. The company also appointed the world's first corporate Chief Privacy Officer, creating the role as a senior level executive responsible for protecting the privacy and security of user data and managing a variety of risks and threats to the integrity of the service. The company appointed privacy lawyer Ray Everett-Church to the newly created position in August 1999, starting a trend that quickly spread among major corporations, both offline and online. By 2001, the non-profit research organization Privacy and American Business reported that a significant number of Fortune 500 firms had appointed senior executives with the title or role of Chief Privacy Officer. AllAdvantage is perhaps most remembered for its successful adaptation of the "viral marketing" concept, a term first coined by the venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson. In viral marketing, members of the service promote it to their friends and acquaintances, which AllAdvantage enhanced by adding a compensation component, rewarding users for the number of members they successfully referred. In a May 2000 article for Red Herring Magazine, Steve Jurvetson cited AllAdvantage as a prime example of viral marketing success. AllAdvantage ultimately fell victim to the sharp decline in advertising spending as the dotcom bubble burst and the U.S. economy entered a recessionary period in mid-2000. AllAdvantage planned an initial public offering of stock in early 2000, underwritten by legendary investment banker Frank Quattrone and his firm Credit Suisse First Boston. As the IPO market continued to sour through mid-2000, the offering plans were cancelled. The company continued to seek new sources of revenue and expanded its offerings to include sweepstakes. But the company finally halted consumer-facing operations in February 2001. By the time it closed its doors, the company had paid out over $120 million to its members. And just a side note AllAdvantage.com is no longer owned by the same company. I am happy to say I was one of those members. After digging through years and years of back up data I came up with some great pictures for those of you who like to "see it to believe it" ,(sorry about the size of some of these for some reason I think they shrank when I backed them up) You Can View What The AllAdvantage Join Page Looked Like: HEREYou Can View What The Viewbar Used To Look Like: HERE (It could be mounted to the top or bottom) Like anything else that's hot on the internet many other companies started doing the same thing all advantage did as i predict will happen again, GoToWorld and Spedia where two other companies that i also used and got paid from, spedia is still in business and seems to be more along the lines of Treasure Trooper & Instant Profitz meets paid e-mails plus the spedia bar as well, but i haven't used spedia in years and i recently tried to contact them with no luck so i wouldn't recomend them but if you want you can check them out here. Here are some pictures of spedia and gotoworld checks. AllAdvantage is back!!! now with years of preparation, testing and perfecting their business model AGLOCO , which stands for A Global Community, has been launched. This time, the founders are doing things a bit differently, as they have corrected all mistakes made in the past and have made some interesting changes like making it a member owned company. The Viewbar that is installed at the bottom of the browser is back but instead of paying a flat fee per hour like the last time, it will give you a share of income the Viewbar earns. In addition, that income may be paid in stocks as well as cash. This avoids the mistake of paying out more than they make, which was what AllAdvantage did. The Viewbar features privacy protection, spyware protection, phishing protection, member IM and voice communications, RSS feeds, broadcast communication, community tips and other functions. The Viewbar is currently in limited beta testing. Once final testing is completed, it will made available for all Members to download. The Beta testers are all volunteers and are not earning any revenue for trying out the system. Agloco projects the viewbar will be ready for download for windows users by late February, other OS versions should follow.
In the meantime, you as an early Member can continue to recruit new Members and start building out your network. As an early Member, you have the best chance to recruit your friends since they will not yet know about it. As the AGLOCO Membership expands some of your friends will sign up under other people and no longer be able to be recruited. So seize this ground floor opportunity to build your network up. Once the All Advantage check scans started hitting the net thats when the company boomed, so if you can build a solid network before the agloco scans hit you should be in good shape.
Sharing income with users is nothing new. Tons of sites and many revenue sharing forums do that already. What is unique about AGLOCO is their multi-leveling marketing model. Network Marketing When you run the AGLOCO Viewbar, AGLOCO will pay to you to surf the web (currently up to 5 hours/month). Once the five hours are up, you can turn the Viewbar off until next month. However, you also make money on every hour for people you referred when they surf, and income is made for every hour for people they referred down to 4 levels. There is no cap on how much you can make because of this. According to the AGLOCO member calculator, if you sign up 10 people and those referrals sign up 5 people, and those sign up five all the way down the 4 four levels, you would earn 9,767.50 per month! However, before you start doing jumping jacks, that figure is not a dollar amount - it reflects earnings in both cash and stock of the company. The stock price has yet to be determined. AGLOCO is 100% member owned company. The amount of shares you own will relate to how many people you refer. The company will share advertising and affiliate revenues with its members. Assuming it gives 50% of all revenue to members in cash, the other 50% is held by the company. Of the 50% held, company management gets 10% as their fee for running the place. The remaining amount will then be distributed to company shareholders (the members) as dividends. Before AllAdvantage died with the dot com crash, I signed up a few people and made some nice cash, so I know the concept does work. Will I be able to make a living from AGLOCO? That remains to be seen but I’m looking forward to trying. This looks like another case study in the making! Once you sign up you will be given a user ID. Use this ID to sign up other people. The easier way to do that is the put the ID into the URL. For example, http://www.agloco.com/r/BBBZ5090 is my URL. Just replace the BBBZ5090 with your ID and you'll get credit for all signs from your link. OK, it sounds good but I still have a question? HERE ARE SOME FAQ's What is AGLOCO™ all about? AGLOCO™ is the first Internet based economic network, which enables you as a Member to Get your share of the Internet.

Over time, depending on several variables that number may increase, or it may decrease, at AGLOCO™'s discretion. * You have to surf yourself to get the benefit of your referrals' surfing.

See our Global Payments Table for details of payable hours by country. * All information submitted during signup must be accurate; members who deal with AGLOCO™ in a fraudulent fashion will forfeit their memberships, their account balance, and their referrals.
