AGLOCO, the controversial site that awards you shares for surfing the Web and signing up other people to do the same, boasts that it has already signed up “tens of thousands” of members.
More striking, the company hasn’t even released its Viewbar yet, which you have to download to start earning credit with AGLOCO. Some would call the company a pyramid scheme, because AGLOCO gives you an incentive to sign up your friends to also surf the Web with AGLOCO’s Viewbar, and there is no guarantee of any financial reward for doing so — only the hope of one. (See VentureBeat’s story here.)
On the other hand, it’s not like you’re breaking your back on AGLOCO’s behalf. You simply surf the Web as you normally do, and the Viewbar operates at the bottom of your screen.
AGLOCO says 700,000 pages refer to AGLOCO in Google’s search results, and that its website is more popular than Bloomingdales or Kmart’s.
The AGLOCO Viewbar will be released in “seven to ten weeks,” the company said in statement early this morning.
Its goal is to sign up ten million members by July 1.

I am a member of agloco, and given your relative authority on the net, I am surprised that you call agloco a pyramind scheme. A pyramid scheme lives of new members that pay to be in the pyramid. agloco takes no money from its users.
If one were to take your definition every company in the world that has a salesforce on commission is a pyramid scheme.
yes, agloco is a pyramid, then again so is every single company in the world. There is a reason why there is one ceo and tons of employees under him.

I fully agree with Kermit, he is right, agloco is not a pyramid company, who knows it could be other google in making.
There has to be someone to challenge indiscriminate google growth. -

There´s no surprise in getting tens of thousands of members when there is a hype and a free to join option. I personally think that Agloco can be something positive in the world of “work from home” businesses.
Members will hopefully not pay for anything (at least that´s what Agloco have stated on their site”) and they will only be surfing the web as they normally would do, but they will get a viewbar (maybe just to replace the Google Bar or Yahoo bar or any other bar).
But why did AllAdvantage dissapear, and is Agloco the same as AllAdvantage (the same company/people)? If it is the same, why would it not dissapear this time? I am not saying that it was a scam the last time, because a lot of people earned a lot of money, but in the end the company didn´t make enough profit and had to close (to my knowledge).

I’m also not surprise on Agloco’s growth because of it’s hype. In my opinion, I think that there are lot of former AllAdvantage top members coming back, especially for those that made money back then. I’m still a little skeptical as this is the first time that I’ve heard of the two companies but I have nothing to lose here if they fold. I just don’t want to get left behind when they do make it. I hope the company can sustain its fast growth.

For Agloco News And Review said:
I believe that for every action there is a reaction. People promote, and people sign up. Natural law of physics. As for the earnings part, is still a question mark. Only time will tell. Whatever it is, we should never use past results ( good and bad ) to judge a new company. Give them a chance to perform, before any criticism is given.

I am looking forward to seeing what the deal is as well. I have over 40 people in my network already, so I am hoping that it is the real deal. I never had dealings with AllAdvantage so I can’t comment about them.

Hopefully it won’t be long before the US Attorney General will co-operate with our state’s Attorneys General and put an end to AGLOCO and all other companies who practice this kind of “business.” In just a few minutes of online investigating, I found enough information to become extremely suspicious of AGLOCO and anyone associated with it or it’s predecessor. Challenge anyone who claims to have made cash money from either AGLOCO or ALL ADVANTAGE to show you proof positive, i.e. a cancelled check with the necessary information clearly visible before giving them a second thought. I’ve never known any intelligent business person who ever gave away their personal information based solely on the assumption that an entity might have a working model of thier software at an unspecified time in the future. The only facts that I can verify so far, are that unsuspecting people have signed up for a company solely on the basis of an unsubstantiated claim of future reward. That company began organizing subscribers, people who up thier personal information, before they had a working end product. IF AGLOCO fails to bring thier promised software online for the use of those who have already subscribed, then all of those who subscribed are left with nothing. HOWEVER, AGLOCO has thier subscribers personal information which they are then free to traffic, sell, lend, lease, etc. while being the sole beneficiary of any monetary gain. That, by definition is a scheme. The question is whether or not AGLOCO’s actions are legal? That’s where the Attorneys General will be helpful. Without a working end product, it would seem that AGLOCO has profitted after setting up a scheme to get something for nothing. READ through AGLOCO’s web site, READ what they have written and decide for yourself if they have openly disclosed why the need your personal information, how it is to be used, how is to be secured, who has access to it, how and if a subscriber can unsubscribe and what happens to their personal information at that point, how their product works, when it will be available, how can those who subscribe track who actually signed up beneath them, whom they will pay dividends to, how will those dividends be paid, and are they licensed? If they are licensed, where are they licensed? These are only a few of the many questions anyone should ask and have answered before they begin to think about giving anyone any personal information for the purpose of going into business, or any other purpose. AGLOCO has not provided sufficient information about itself, it’s business, how subscribers are treated, or any other aspect of itself to give me any reason go into business with them. There are too many loose claims in the comments I’ve seen. These warrant caution and I strongly suggest AGOLOCO be investigated by proper authorities.

MyTake said:
I did ALL ADVANTAGE back about seven years ago. I only made about $80. Granted I was only about 14 years old, so I thought it was awesome that I would get a $20 or $30 check every couple of months. I never got into the referal thing, just let them put their search bar and advertisment on the bottom of my browser. If you are worried about them selling your e-mail address just make a new one that you don’t care if it gets spamed. I checked their site and they don’t ask for a home address (yet) or a SSN. So I think I may give it a try.

Wow skeptical people here but not to be picky you should just do your research before you say its a scam or a pyramid scheme, first off lets look at the history of agloco, as we know the people who created agloco are the same people who created AllAdvantage and AllAdvantage back in 1998 paid out more then 120 million to their members and no one had to pay a single penny to get that money, I’ve also seen proof of people making $5000 a month with AllAdvantage, I’ve seen checks, stubs, paperwork, and more.
Someone said on here why did AllAdvantage disapear well they shut down becuase of the Dot-Com Bubble, the dot-com bubble was a time between 1998 to 2000 when the western nations stocks plumeted, mainly the technology industry which directly effected the internet, thousands of companies went bankrupt from this fast stock market shift, AllAdvantage got out before it was too late.
The dot-com bubble was not a total loss though a few companies in certain areas made billions from it, maybe you’ve all heard of Google who was one of the rare dot-com bubble successors.
So whats to say that this wont happen again, well nothing but whats not to say that your local job market wont take a sudden dive and put you out of work, things like this are effected on a global scale so there is always the risk, but your not paying anything so your only using up some of your spare time.
Last I would like to say though that with any company where you have to refer people your always going to get those people who hype it up so much and tell you that with no work your going to make thousands, this is just simply not true, you still have to work hard in order to see a decent payoff, I prefer to educate people and tell them the truth and this is why I’ve set up my blog at http://aglocohype.blogspot.com/ its not just to refer people its to help them grow their network and to educate you, have a look maybe it will put some of your skeptisism to a rest but if you got anything else you want to know I’m pritty knowledgeable on this, have a visit to my blog leave a comment and I’ll respond quickly.
