UPDATE: If you have been looking for the viewbar, don’t bother. Agloco is Dead. I would encourage you just to quit using the toolbar if you do have it. It is not going to do anything for you other than to put adware on your system anyways and you aren’t getting paid for it.

To uninstall the Viewbar in Windows all you need to do is click on your start menu, find it there and click on the “Uninstall” icon and you are all set.

Honestly I don’t know. I check in there every week or so to see if any new information is out, but it seems they have run into a bit of a snag with the ad servers. When will it be done? Who knows.

Apparently John Chow created a video recently using the viewbar and this is what he had to say:

The AGLOCO Viewbar is real and it does exist. I know because I’m using it right now. Akshay Mavani sent me a beta Viewbar to try out and give my impressions.

The Viewbar software is a 1.8 MB download. When installed, it takes up 5 MB of space. The Viewbar is not any bigger than the Windows task bar. The version I am running shows ads by Google and Google is the default search engine. The ads are not targeted at the moment because it hits only one ad server. The rest of the ad servers have not been connected.

So…it is in testing phase still, but far enough along that it could be tested by one of the more active Agloco backers. Let’s hope it is ready soon.

I’ve been registered on that site for quite a while and noticed that everyone and their brother is still pimping it now. Good for them. It is another affiliate system in which you can “hope” to make some cash on if you happen to work it. Since I sign up for every affiliate system there is I figured I’d describe this one a bit and try to figure out what exactly makes it good or bad while I write.

Does it make you any money? I’ve heard many claim that it is great, but once I actually looked into it I can’t find any real reason to promote it all that much. It is a classic pyramid scheme in which you only get paid when someone you refer as an affiliate actually BUYs something from them. Pretty lame right?

Interestingly enough I see quite a few products on there that would be helpful to affiliates in that they don’t really try and hide shady software packages, nor do they rally try and hide that fact that DealDotCom itself wants you to basically spam people.

The major issue with the program is that you really aren’t promoting products that you can sell yourself. They make you promote the affiliate program and then when someone buys something you get a cut. Pretty hard sell isn’t it? You don’t have referral links for products to use. People must sign up first through your affiliate program link, and THEN buy the product. Great scam on their part as it essentially means that the majority of people who buy something won’t be referrals of someone else. IF you promote a product through them you are essentially cutting yourself out of the deal because you are going to have to make the person who wants to buy go through an additional step just so that you are able to get paid on the transaction.

Here’s what their site says:

How do I become a DealDotCom affiliate?

If you have a free DealDotCom account, then you already are one. Just go to the Your Account page to find your affiliate link. Whenever you tell someone about DealDotCom, just make sure they click on that link so you get credit for the referral. To make it even easier, on the Your Account Page there is a link “click here to send this link to your friends” that will automatically open up your email for those of you who are too lazy to copy and paste.

What is this two-tier affiliate business?

Whenever you refer someone to DealDotCom via your handy-dandy affiliate link, you get paid 35% of DealDotCom’s profit for every item that they buy. If someone you referred to DealDotCom refers someone else, you get paid 15% of DealDotCom’s profit every time they buy something for the rest of your life. This is a big commitment, so we suggest you take it very seriously.

Essentially you really have no reason to promote their products, and they don’t give you product affiliate links. What’s the point of just promoting DealDotCom itself then? Well…I suppose if you have an affiliate site and your readers are mainly affiliate marketers the products will be targeted to them in most cases. So if they sign up for it they may want to buy one of the products they are promoting on a daily basis.

IS there potential to make money with it? Certainly. Is it designed in an affiliate friendly way? Not particularly when you don’t get actual product affiliate links IMO.

NEWER UPDATE: AGLOCO IS DEAD

UPDATE: Some payout information has recently been released and I have written another post about it going more in depth with it. Please read my post Agloco Payouts Explained for more information. Actually…even this is inaccurate now. Agloco is dead.

• Members earn a monthly share of the AGLOCO revenue based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month.
• Members earn part of the company based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month (currently a maximum of five hours are rewarded). Click here for details.
• Members who use our referral system to help build the AGLOCO network will earn more. (AGLOCO only has significant value as a large network and people who help build it should be rewarded. – We also feel that the early users who told friends about YouTube or MySpace or even Google probably deserved something too, but no referral system was available to record their work).
• Members will also get a share of any commissions AGLOCO gets when a Member purchases a product or service from an AGLOCO Sponsor company.

UPDATE: AGLOCO is DEAD. AGLOCO is a SCAM. DO NOT even bother with it anymore.

Today’s hottest Internet businesses are all about the power of social networks. Companies like MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube have become worth billions because businesses have realized that these social networks are generating huge advertising and marketing opportunities. As these social networks grow, the economic potential for its owners – and the advertisers who target the site’s users – is remarkable.

At AGLOCO, we asked a simple question: The users created the community, where’s their share of the profit?

It was from this question that AGLOCO set out to create the Internet’s first Economic Network, harnessing the power of Internet-based social networks to directly benefit the Members who help to create the community..

Becoming a member of AGLOCO is as simple as completing a brief sign-up page (name, age, location and email address.). Once you’re a Member, you will be asked to then download the Viewbar™ software. (Note: the Viewbar™ software is currently unavailable, as it is in closed testing. It will be ready for public download in a few weeks, and members will be notified when it is available.)
