It would appear that the latest ‘hot’, potentially money-making venture out in the blogosphere at the moment is Agloco. I know, ’Algloco’ doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue, but if the hype is to be believed, we will soon forgive them the name!

I have heard it mentioned on a few blogs recently and reading the article on Perigord Vacance today, I decided to do some research of my own.

Agloco’s tag is ‘Own the Internet’ and simply, if I have understood it correctly,  it is a system whereby, you, in your normal, everyday internet surfing get a share in the revenue created by the big advertisers/big fish.

 Here is a quote from the OwnTheInternet blog:

This is AGLOCO™ ’s proposition, just three words: Own the Internet.

Whenever you are online, either surfing, blogging, clicking on an ad, making a purchase, all the money generated by your activities is pocketed by a small number of players. At AGLOCO™ they say not anymore!

AGLOCO™ is a global community, whose owners are its Members (you and potentially the millions of internet users out there). Their goal is to capture a significant portion of the value generated by our online activities and return it to Members in cash. Best of all, it is totally free, Members will NEVER have to pay anything, nor will they have to disclose ANY personal information!

So, is it too good to be true? I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

At present, they are recruiting like mad (via referrals), in order to build the community. In February, they launch the Viewbar download, that places a little toolbar on your browser and you carry on surfing as you normally do.  

So, am I cynical? Well, I guess I am! I’m British! But I must admit the write-ups and blogs that I have read are quite convincing, although they emphasise this is not a get rich quick kind of thing.

Did I sign up? Yep, I did! Why? It’s free, I could always do with some more cash, it’s fascinating being in on the ground-floor with something, it has piqued my curiosity.

So what could I lose? No money, a bit of face perhaps, some time checking it out on the net.

But don’t take my word for it! If you are interested in Agloco, do a Google search, read the articles. If you are intrigued, click here to go to the  introductory/sign-up page….it could well be the best thing you ever do!

Let me know how you get on…
