The recent update on the company's AGLOCO Blog focused on the statement of Agloco not being "Too good to be True". The truth is, you're not getting something for nothing. You're giving the viewbar a small share of your computer monitor, which Agloco and many advertisers consider extremely valuable.

The internet advertising industry is booming, as companies are tying many different ways to get their information in front of your eyes. This, is why having the viewbar on your monitor is so valuable. By having an active Agloco viewbar on your desktop, you designate Agloco to be your middleman. This makes Agloco money and, in return Agloco pays you back. In the big picture, having an active Agloco viewbar n your screen makes you money for doing what you would ordinarily do.

So why does Agloco use a referral system?

Should you choose to build your agloco network, you are building the Agloco community and making it more valuable. Your payment is the time and effort into an Agloco Blog or other advertising tool, as well as risking your reputation, in an effort to build Agloco. For those who take the risks of building an Agloco blog or website, there will be significant rewards if Agloco succeeds.

Agloco's concept is growing fast around the web. I just googled AGLOCO and got 1,600,000 results, and by googling "Agloco Blog" 26,500. According to the Agloco company blog there are hundreds of thousands of Agloco members. Which is quite possibly the largest pre-launch community on the Internet.

It is our job to make Agloco even larger.

Direct Agloco Referrals: 40 ( UP 18% from 34)

Indirect Agloco Referrals: 39 ( UP 26% from 31)

Total Agloco Referrals: 79 ( UP 22% from 65)

Ranking: 3.30% of all Agloco members


I am satisfied with where I am at this point, with about two to three weeks before the agloco viewbar is launched. I will strive for the goal of 100 total referrals in my agloco network before the viewbar is released.

I started an Adwords campaign about three days ago, and should see an increase in my direct referrals within this week. I have found the most success with the keywords "ways to make money", "viewbar", and "agloco". Though most of the clicks have come from the content network.

To all those that have signed up under me, Lets get our networks rolling before the viewbar is launched. If you have any question please email me or post a comment. Thanks

Direct Referrals: 34 ( UP 21% from 28)

Indirect Referrals: 31 ( UP 82% from 17)

Total Referrals: 65 ( UP 44% from 45)

Ranking: 3.92 % of all members

These are some great numbers I can only wish to maintain. Obviously people are signing up at a rapid pace as the release date to the viewbar approaches. These next two days I will begin passing around flyers around RMC's campus, and other various locations. This should provide a initial boost in direct referrals, followed by a subsequent boost in indirect referrals. I should also see a boost in indirect referrals as many of my referrals have created Facebook groups that are gaining popularity.

My Goals:

By next week (2/14):

Double my direct/indirect referrals to 68/62 respectively.

Rank in the top 2.5% of all members.
