So I've recently gotten into a "Make money online" frenzy, finding lots of sites and such that claim to give you cash for certain things and whatnot. The most recent is called agloco. (see their predecessor AllAdvantage here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AllAdvantage)

Basic premise is:
1. Download their little viewbar at the bottom that logs your time on the net.
2. Invite your friends to do the same (you get extra hours when they get hours)
3. Your hours get turned into "shares" which you can turn in for cash.

Scam? Pyramid thing? I dunno. I've signed up to see how it works and so far nothing's bad. The viewbar's malware free as far as I can tell and it's very unobtrusive.

If you want to sign up you can go [href=here www.agloco.com/r/BBGM2448]here www.agloco.com/r/BBGM2448
[/href]
What are your thoughts?

Edit: By the way, the site's a bit slow and sometimes just doesn't load. Give it a few refreshes and it usually pulls through.

Edit again: Yes that is a referral link. I only get credit if you sign up from that link. The program is designed so I get more hours if other people sign up from my link and use the program. You can go to the main site if you want with no quarrel by me.

Well actually I just signed up with this program but there's been some other programs I've been a bit successful with.

Here, http://kempcreations.com/MoneyMaking.aspx
Those are the ones I'm currently signed up with. Some are just sweepstakes programs, others like Moola I've gotten a couple of bucks from just to see if it worked. They sent me a check.

But at the same time I've seen a lot of programs that seem to take money from it's users and not give much back.

That "/r/BBGM2448" looks like a referrer to me.

That's not as bad as you think you said.

Yeah it is. You can go to the main site if you want, I've got nothing against that. The point of that program is to get more hours from your friends and such. I just put that up so people could go there, I don't actually get anything unless someone signs up from that link and puts in some hours. I'll change the first post to reflect that.
