Well to understand AGLOCO we will have to explore about its history and AGLOCO’s history lies with Alladvantage.com. So first have a look at Alladvantage.com

What was Alladvantage.com?

Alladvantage.com was the first internet business site from which millions of internet users made money out of it by surfing for a particular number of hours on the internet. Well, surfing doesn’t mean that you have to surf Alladvantage.com, it means that you are doing your routine work such as e-mail check, searching on google, yahoo etc., playing online games and all the other things that you do while surfing the net.

Why Alladvantage.com paid its users for surfing net?

Alladvantage.com was in no way giving away money for free. So the big question is that what were you giving to them for money. Let me tell you quickly, a little space of your computer screen by allowing their toolbar to be displayed on your screen whenever you surf the net just as other toolbars like Google toolbars, Yahoo toolbars etc.

What was so unique in the Alladvantage.com toolbar that allowed you to earn money on the internet?

Alladvantage.com’s toolbar used to display ads in the small area occupied by it on your screen and helped Alladvantage to earn money from these ads from its users. Alladvantage.com gives away a portion of this money to its users for the time they are online. The users were paid a fixed number of amount for the number of hours they are online.

How many users got the benefit from Alladvantage.com?

Millions of users were paiod by Alladvantage.com and the total amount of money that was paid was more than US $100 million. Isn’t it incredible.

What was the weak point in the Alladvantge’s strategy that made them to close down?

Well the only weak point in Alladvantage was that the user’s were paid a fixed amount of money for each hour. In the starting this concept flourished very well but a time reached when the number of user’s to be paid were really more than the amount they were gathering from advertisements at a time when online advertising was less popular. So they had to close down due to increasing number of users and lesser advertising revenue in their hands but it was all after when it had given a birth to a great idea of online marketing and advertising.
