I am sure everyone has heard of AGLOCO by now. If you haven’t, here’s the summary: it’s like a pyramid scheme, except it’s online. Let’s look at the comparison between AGLOCO and Pyramid Scheme.

This is what AGLOCO Network looks like:

AGLOCO

… And this is what pyramid scheme looks like:

Pyramid Scheme

The AGLOCO chart is basically flipped 90 degrees with people in it instead of dots. See those tiny red dots on the bottom, that’s YOU! See those blue dots? That’s David Lawrence, the man with the highest referrals for AGLOCO, known as the AGLOCO Top Gun. The idea is the same, the more people under you, the more money you make. This service isn’t as easy as you think. You better hope that someone under you buys something from those ads from the AGLOCO bar. Let’s look at how AGLOCO actually works vs. how people think it works:

This is how people think AGLOCO works:

How AGLOCO Works

It isn’t as easy as sign up, surf and make money. What’s going to happen is… people will be claiming, “I made $10,000 with AGLOCO, You could, too!” Similar to all these lame bloggers talking about making money, “I make $5000 a month with Adsense, let me show you how”… you know “those” people.

I am not saying just because they failed with AllAdvantage (formerly known as), they will fail with AGLOCO… but I have strong feeling that the history will repeat itself. Only time will tell.

What are your thoughts about AGLOCO?

Update: A visitor informed me that it’s 5 hrs / month (not day). I have updated the chart accordingly. I apologize.

It must be “The World’s First AGLOCO Post Without AGLOCO’s Referral Link”.

At first I though great idea, but then reading more and more of the over-ethusiastic but crude AGLOCO bloggers and such my distrust grew. Now this post is the plain truth, sad but true.

Your assumptions are wrong.

First of all it’s 5 hours / month not day!

Secondly the ads appearing on the viewbar are already paid for by advertisers, so no need for someone to click on them and buy stuff.

If you buy you would buy from the advertiser not Agloco. It’s like a TV station that shows a coke commercial, they are getting paid for showing the commercial not a % of each bottle sold after the commercial

Recruiting is the hardest part of any business, that’s why many people quit before they have recruited sufficicent numbers. Nobody promised AGLOCO would be a breeze. Am a member myself an i will wait for what the future holds…

I joined. “Actively” promoted my referral link for a while using my Naked African Mole banner. Got bored once the Viewbar attained ‘Urban Legend’ status. Then I was shocked to find the Viewbar was ‘real’. I’ve used it. It’s ok, but I’m still no closer to retiring to my tropical island. I guess the nicest thing I have to say about the program to date is that at least it hasn’t cost me anything.

It took longer than anybody wanted for the AGLOCO Viewbar to finally be released. Since it is finally released, I just hope that people do not lose interest in it.
