Dear Mahi,
We will be releasing the AGLOCO Viewbar software soon and want to update Members on how things will work when it is released.
Each Member will get an email informing them that their Viewbar is available. It will contain detailed instructions on the download, which will be done from the agloco.com website. Members will be invited to download in groups of 50,000 a day for a two week period, with Members contacted in the order in which they signed up.
Shortly before the first set of download emails go out, you will receive an email notice that the AGLOCO website will be ‘out of service’ for a few hours – this is necessary for us to move the Viewbar download system from the test server to the main servers.
Also, please be aware of the following:
1. AGLOCO Hours: You will accrue hours in your AGLOCO Member account (current maximum is five direct hours a month). Hours are earned during active surfing on the Internet. The Viewbar has a green light on it that notifies the Member when it is accruing time. Your referrals’ surfing will accumulate hours for you at a 25% rate, meaning if one of your referrals surfs for the maximum five hours you will get 1.25 (0.25 x 5) hours credited to your total referral hours. You can only get credit referral hours up to the amount you directly surf (meaning if you surf 3 hours but a referral surfs 4, you will only get credit for the first 3 of your referral’s 4 hours). AGLOCO accrues these hours each month and also has a cumulative total of all hours earned. These hours are what AGLOCO will use to calculate cash and other distributions. The Viewbar contains a one click inactive button which turns it off and removes it from your screen at any time.
2. Initial Release for Windows: The initial Viewbar release will be for Windows Vista, XP, 2000 Pro and 2000 Server. Later, we will release Mac and Linux versions of the Viewbar. Until that occurs, Mac/Linux users can still log onto any supported Windows computer and accumulate their five hours. The Viewbar works with browsers IE 5.5 or higher and Firefox 1.5 or higher.
3. Cash Distributions: To be a sustainable entity in the long term, AGLOCO makes Member cash distributions from its positive cash flow (revenue minus costs). Therefore, please do not expect a check after the first couple of months as it will take time to collect revenue from advertisers and this revenue must exceed costs in order to make cash distributions to Members. We will be keeping Members informed of our financials and you can visit the Official company blog at http://blog.agloco.com for the latest updates.
4. Multiple Users on One Viewbar: As stated previously, multiple Members may use the same Viewbar on the same computer. Only one Viewbar download will be necessary as the Viewbar software will enable each Member to log in and log out using their AGLOCO Member ID# and password (obviously, only one Member ID# can be accumulating Viewbar hours at any one time). Please note, only one Viewbar is allowed on a screen at a time.
5. One-Time Download: The v1.0 Viewbar is purposely simplistic and minimalist, but it also comes equipped with an automatic self-updating feature. Once you download the Viewbar for the first time, your Viewbar will be seamlessly updated with new additions and features as they become available. These future features include the direct cash back feature when a Member purchases items on sponsor site and a portion of the purchase price is added back to the Member’s AGLOCO account (as described on the Official AGLOCO Blog at http://blog.agloco.com/index.php/post35/ . )
We look forward to your active participation in the AGLOCO community.

Few Agloco FAQ's
Many users have asked me the question " AGLOCO sounds too good to be true. Why am I getting paid without putting anything into it ? "
Answer 1 : You have Viewbar on screen, they pay you for it.
Having a Viewbar on your screen while you are actively
browsing the Internet offers benefits to AGLOCO, advertisers,
and Internet companies. The internet advertising industry is
booming, as companies are trying many different ways to get
their information in front of your eyes. As such, every inch of
real estate on your screen is valuable (as demonstrated by the
“million dollar homepage” last year). The Viewbar will show a
targeted text ad, and advertisers are more than happy to pay
AGLOCO for the opportunity to put that in front of you.
Answer 2 : You build the network, they pay you more.
Should you choose to build the network, you are ‘sticking
your neck out’ to build the community and make it valuable.
You are ‘paying’ with your time and effort, as well as risking
your reputation, in convincing the people you know to join
AGLOCO. You know that it could fail. If it does, you have
spent a lot of time working for nothing in return, and you might
look a little silly to the people you referred into the system.
Not everyone is willing to take that risk.
However, for those who do take that risk, there will be
significant rewards if AGLOCO succeeds.

Since AGLOCO Membership and Viewbar software is free, what cost is there?
Signing up takes less than two minutes, the Viewbar download is a one-time install process (updates will be processed automatically … more on that later), the Viewbar uses a small section of space at the bottom of the screen and the current limit of 5 hours of browsing each month is accrued passively while the Viewbar is active on the desktop. AGLOCO only has once a month Member update emails, so overall the ‘cost’ of AGLOCO has been kept very low.
Referal Level is five level deep.
If your already a member try to add some 10 referals per month. Lets see it with some example.
- A user recruits ten people (10 direct referrals)
If on average, each direct referral recruits 3 new users (some will recruit many and some none, but the average is 3 for each level of your network) -- Value of 10 referrals $300
The user would have 30 indirect users one person removed. – Value of 30 referrals $900
The user would have 90 indirect users two people removed -- Value of 90 referrals $2,700
The user would have 270 indirect users three people removed -- Value of 270 referrals $8,100
The user would have 810 indirect users four people removed -- Value of 810 referrals $24,300
Total referrals the user would have in the network would be 1,210.
At an average value of $30 for each referral the total value would be $36,300

What Exactly is the Viewbar™
What we know:
Agloco Viewbar
* The Viewbar is a small toolbar that rests on the bottom of your screen or browser window while you surf the Internet.
* The Viewbar software is what enables AGLOCO to collect the money you are earning while browsing the Internet.
* The Viewbar tracks (somehow?) your online interests and preferences to deliver targeted ads for you.
* Search (which lets us get you money from search engine companies)
* Contextual ads (which lets us get you money from advertisers)
* Anti-fraud and other software utilities (which lets us get you money from software companies)
* Target release is for February or March 2007.
* from Agloco.com
Speculate on other features:
Viewbar IM VOIP
* Economic Network Hmmm maybe investment websites?
* Universal IM This looks like they want you to use the Viewbar for all your IM’ing. Wonder what IM servers they will support?
* Free Phone Maybe they are also planning VOIP support?
Viewbar Desktop and Web Search
* Desktop Search This would take the Viewbar out of the realm of a connected app. Probably will need more information on this before I use it.
* Web Search No brainier. This is probably how we will make a good chunk of our money.
Viewbar Future Features Video
* Podcast Makes sense they want you to get as much of what you do on the Internet.
* Video This is hot right now. And probably more people will watch video ads then click on text links?
* Broadcast System Maybe they will partner with channels to deliver conent? Or maybe you will broadcast yourself?
* All of the features look like they wont be in the first release.
Viewbar Community, Discounts, Targeted Ads
* News
* Discounts
* Targeted Ads
* This looks like where the business will be of the Viewbar.
Viewbar Credit Accural
* Credit Accrual Indicator Well this looks like it keeps track of how much time you spend per month? Or maybe how many shares you have earned from all of your referrals? I couldn’t really tell form the picture what exactly this is.
Any other mentions?
* There have been mentions of other operating systems. So maybe the Viewbar will be ported to Mac or Linux?
* So far we have only seen the Viewbar with IE. Maybe they will also make a Firefox? (I haven’t seen any mention of this)
If anyone has any more info let me know and I’ll update this post.
Thanks and help Build this community

Technology that Pays You To Surf
This is the first in its kind that had ever been made. And there won’t be many of them. But I really like this and want to share. I’m not a big fan of pyramid schemes. You know, the kind of thing that your uncle Steve blows all of his beer money on in hopes of getting rich quick. This isn’t that kind of thing and does not require you to pay anything. It’s also not a “FREE iPod” scheme. It’s a legit company. So feel safe with reading on please. So this new deal is called Agloco.
It’s a pretty simple thing really. You install a Viewbar at the bottom of your browser, it puts a small relevant text link on the bar. (No annoying flashy crap ads.) You browse for 5 hours a month and you get paid. It also does some nice things like block ads and spyware. Not so bad. You want to look at porn and you’re embarrassed? Turn off the Viewbar! Want to make more money? Refer more people. You get some of their loot too!
I didn’t want to post this until I heard some good stuff. Mr. Rizwan recommended this website to me. That’s good enough for me. That guy is awesome. He made about $25k from the company the first time around, before the original company went under when the bubble burst back in ‘99-’00. (This is not the same people and it’s updated a lot.) You probably will not make that much, he knows a lot of people, but you may be able to make some money to buy some new toys. You sign up 10 people, they sign up 5 people, you all do your 5 hours of internet surfing a month (like you don’t already!) it’s estimated you’ll make around $9.7k a month. Sounds like a lot for something so easy doesn’t it? Well it’s not easy. People don’t sign up for anything. It’s truly a challenge.
You have nothing to lose, it sounds like fun to me. So hell, why not? Sign up Don’t forget to refer us. Our code is BBBN4362 :)
UPDATE: The Viewbar isn’t quite ready yet. This is a good thing though. It gives you a chance to build up your referrals.
Viewbar™
The Viewbar™ is a small toolbar that rests on the bottom of your screen or browser window while you surf the Internet. The Viewbar™ software is what enables AGLOCO to collect the money you are earning while browsing the Internet.
The Viewbar™ keeps track of your online interests and preferences, and uses that information to deliver the most valuable message to you at the right time. Because privacy is a core principle of AGLOCO, the Viewbar™ communicates with our secure servers in an encrypted fashion to keep your information private.
Some people have asked: “Is the Viewbar™ some kind of ‘spyware’?” The answer is simple: The Viewbar™ is the opposite of spyware. Spyware sneaks onto your computer without your knowledge or permission, it steals your private information, and it’s nearly impossible to remove. Unlike spyware, the Viewbar™ is completely permission based, it keeps your information private, and you can always turn it off with a single click.
The AGLOCO Viewbar™ (currently in limited beta) is shown below:
NOTE: The AGLOCO Viewbar™ is currently in limited beta testing and is not yet available for download. We expect that it will start to be available to download in several weeks. It will be released to Members in the order in which Members signed up. No testers are receiving any earnings while using the Viewbar™ in this testing phase. For now, we ask you to build the community, because both you and AGLOCO make more if you grow the community.
The Viewbar™ also has many additional features:
Search (which lets us get you money from search engine companies)
Contextual ads (which lets us get you money from advertisers)
Anti-fraud and other software utilities (which lets us get you money from software companies)
Here is a screenshot of what the Viewbar will look like on your desktop: AGLOCO Viewbar™
