One has nothing to do with the other. They are seperate things. The content ads have nothing to do with Agloco.

Now I'm supposed to step in and say, "calm down".

(And yes, for those who fail to see the humour in this post in relation to previous posts in this thread, I am kidding.)

None of the Agloco links work, and I tried googling Agloco, but I think their site is down.

I couldn't log on for most of yesterday either, but the site is fine today.

I bet that for every person who posted in this thread,there were at least 30 others joining AGLOCO from Steve's links. In fact, I'm really curious to learn Steve's referral results over time.

Steve, you got a late start, but I'll bet you're going to show up on the Top 10 list quite soon. Crashing the server on your first weekend with your referral links up is quite the auspicious entry!

[Steve Pavlina]

Here are some stats for those who like raw data:

Pavlina's Agloco account reports 403 referrals so far (363 direct, 40 extended). It says this account is in the top 0.72% of members with referrals. On Thursday it had 0 referrals, so all these people joined within the past 60 hours.

If any revenue is actually produced from this, the funds will go to Pavlina LLC to help improve the service we can offer. If the money happens to be substantial (that's a big if, but one can dream), it may even allow us to hire more people. As I've mentioned before, one project I'd really love to do is to translate this site into other languages. This is the most requested major improvement suggestion I receive. To do a decent job of it is beyond my current capacity, even if I had volunteers (or bad translation software) helping with the translation part. But I know we'll eventually get there.

A big thank you to those who signed up. It will be interesting to see how this pans out and whether Agloco becomes a successful business or a noisy flop.

I wish you the best Steve. You've got some great content here on this site and I think it would be great for you to get it translated into different languages.

Somebody compared Agloco to BonziBuddy. What a freaking nightmare that was!

[dharmanerd]

Found this exerpt and thought it might be useful to some people.

"It then becomes necessary to examine carefully both the evidence submitted and the person from whom the evidence comes; and when the evidence is of such a nature that it affects the interest of the witness who is giving it, there will be reason to scrutinize it all the more carefully, as witnesses who have an interest in the evidence that they are submitting often yield to the temptation to color and pervert it to protect that interest."

And Steve...

Are you being responsible? Does the revenue you receive from ad sales benefit others more than the cost of advertising?

i'm not making judgements, i trust you... just asking you to answer these questions only to yourself (again).

Here's a comment I posted on another blog yesterday -- the blog owner posted that he was signing up for Agloco because he "trusts me":

You shouldn’t sign up because you trust me. It’s entirely possible that Agloco is a scam or that it will bust and never pay out a dime. I can never say that won’t be the case — I’ve never even met the people behind Agloco. Personally I put the odds at less than 50-50 that participants will ever see a dime from it.

The reason I signed up is that it takes 2 minutes, and it’s easy enough to refer others and let them decide for themselves. If Agloco fails, we’ve lost virtually nothing. If it succeeds, everyone who participates stands to benefit.

Even if I figure the odds at 95% that Agloco will fail, I’d still sign up and encourage others to do so. How many of these virtually free bets can you afford to make?

Certainly if the odds seem very long, it’s a waste of time to bother with something like this. But I think the odds here are good enough to sign up and pass it on.

You don’t have to be right even 10% of the time with bets such as these. They’re no-brainers. It’s like getting a free spin on the roulette wheel. Toss out the free chips and see what happens. If you lose it’s of no consequence — the chips were free anyway. And if you win, it’s all gravy. Donate your winnings to charity if you’d like.

I see some fear and paranoia along with the usual scarcity-based outrage over entrepreneurial income generation ("Omigod, Steve could actually make money from this! How dare he make money! Money is evil! We must set him straight!"), but to me the facts suggest this is a smart bet. The downside is essentially nothing. The upside is fair to big. You won't normally see such bets offered in Vegas.

You can wallow in scarcity thinking like a lifetime wage slave with an overdeveloped fear of failure, or you can take 2 minutes to sign up and see what happens. If Agloco flops, no big whoop. Just say, "Next!"

FYI we've got 617 sign-ups so far, 531 of them direct.

[JiriNovotny]

Does anyone know if the viewbar will be available for Opera browser?

EDIT: I just realized that it will be probably another window, sitting above my taskbar. Hmm... that's not so attractive

[Andreas]

Over 617. Neat.

But was it really necessary to have every mention of Algolo use the referral link? C'mon.

The reason I did that was because I was concerned the in-text Kontera ads I'm testing would turn multiple "Agloco's" into different links and confuse people about where to go to check it out.

I'll probably dump the Kontera ads soon -- they're not performing well anyway, and for the roughly $35/day they generate, I think they do more harm than good.

749 Agloco sign-ups so far, 633 of them direct.

Ohh, you're not supposed to tell us that, Steve! Now we can't be all angry at you and make posts about how you're just in it for the money and to think up evil schemes to hide the truth from us.

But it's ok. I have faith in your ability to come up with another "crazy experiment" (read: money making scheme) so you can get back to buying $500,000 cars and ivory backscratchers.

[Erin Pavlina]

Actually we lost the ivory backscratcher. Now we use the diamond-encrusted one.

[escapee]

Bloody diamond ......

I thought the ivory back scratcher was diamond encrusted! I guess it was an early purchase before true worldly wealth manifested. <Grin>

My back scratcher has informed me she would like to be diamond enhanced.

So when exactly is this suppose to be ready and begin producing results, because on AGLOCO's site it says the viewbar is only in a limited Beta test version?

[Steve Pavlina]

Agloco posted in their blog that the release is still "days away" but that they expect to release this month. Apparently they've had some bugs to fix. Based on the hundreds of comments people post on their blog, a lot of people are impatiently awaiting the release. I'd rather see them take their time and do a good job vs. rushing a buggy 1.0 out the door.

[Venkat]

I think law of attraction does not allow scepticism. In subjective reality ones thoughts should be completely congruent with the laws of attraction to attract wealth, and with doubt in our mind we will be scammed because that is what we would be looking for. Let us completely believe in Agloco......subjectively.

[CannibalSmith]

But I arrived at Subjective Reality through skepticism.
