The History of AGLOCO
If you have any doubt that Agloco has huge potential and that it will be a tremendous success, perhaps by looking at its history you will be convinced that this is an opportunity not to be missed. Agloco is actually version 2.0 of AllAdvantage.com. That is right, the exact same concept and business model that Agloco is proposing now has already been tested with AllAdvantage.
The Story of AllAdvantage
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.
AllAdvantage was launched on March 31, 1999, by Jim Jorgensen, Johannes Pohle, Carl Anderson, and Oliver Brock. During its nearly 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 of AllAdvantage.com. It was among the top 20 of many website traffic indices during most of the company's existence.
AllAdvantage contributed several concepts to the marketplace that continue to have impact today. For example, the company’s Viewbar 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 early members and top recruiters made a lot of money. John Chow, a successful recruiter was interviewed by the Canadian newspaper The Globe:

Like millions of Canadians, Vancouverite John Chow spends a lot of time surfing the Web. But unlike many others, he gets paid to do it.
Mr. Chow belongs to Hayward, Calif.-based AllAdvantage Inc., one of the largest of more than a dozen so-called “get-paid-to-surf-the-Web” services in the United States, which pay members 20 to 50 cents (U.S.) for every hour they spend on the Internet.
For Mr. Chow, one of thousands of Canadians who have signed on, it’s been lucrative. Since joining in November, he’s made nearly $13,000 (Canadian) — representing about a quarter of his income. “I could make this my biggest income source if I really wanted to,” says Mr. Chow, whose real job is to run The Tech Zone, a Web site that reviews computer hardware.
Other members made also made good money, as shown by the checks below:
AllAdvantage paid more than $120 million to its members, and was ready to do a public offering in early 2000. That is when the dot-com bubble busted. Suddenly investors fled the internet market and the money dried up. AllAdvantage did not anticipate running out of cash as the IPO would provide plenty of cash to finance the fast growth of the company. But when the opportunity to do an IPO suddenly disappeared due to the market crash, AllAdvantage was unable to maintain its cash flow and had to close its doors. It was a painful but valuable lesson for the young entrepreneurs that founded the company. The internet was still young and many promising dot-com companies got caught in the excitement of the time, just like everyone else.
Six years later, AllAdvantage is back, now in the form of Agloco. The people that founded the original company understand that what lead to the demise of AllAdvantage is not that it did not have the right business model. It simply wasn’t prepared to deal with the lack of cash that came as a result of an unexpected stock market crash. But now the same founders are back, and they are much wiser. This time they are much better prepared to deal with the cash flow needs of Agloco, and will reward its members not only with cash, but also with stocks. This will give them the flexibility required to better manage the company’s cash flow.
You have the opportunity of a lifetime right now to become an early member of this tremendous business model which has already proven itself once. Remember that AllAdvantage paid $120 million to its members, and Agloco will most likely pay a lot more. Don’t miss this opportunity. Sign up now, invite your friends and build your network while the return of AllAdvantage is still not very well publicized and it is easy to sign up new members.
AGLOCO is an Internet Revolution. But it NEEDS YOU to be the revolutionary
