Earn Some Pocket Change By Surfing The Web
Leigh-Ann did some research and found out that this company used to be AllAdvantage way back in the early Wild West days of the internet. We both had accounts then and I do remember them paying. So, what the heck, we both signed up. Right now they’re still in beta and they’ll only, at first, be paying for you to surf five hours a month with your AGLOCO toolbar. But hey, small change is better than no change these days. So, sign up - AGLOCO signup. It can’t hurt to try, as their previous company was reputable as far as I remember. And, if the money can pay for my new Keurig pods, I’ll be happy. All I need is 50 cents/day. 
Plus, I’m going to get rid of my Alexa toolbar because I haven’t been using it much lately, so another toolbar replacing it won’t even be noticeable. I must admit, their company name looks kind of ugly. Oh well, not my company, not my problem, I guess. So, get in the queue for the toolbar - they’re waiting until they have 7 million signups or something. I think they’re a tenth of the way there, but on the internet, that could probably happen in a couple of days. To read more about the company and their plan, so you don’t feel like it’s a scam, please read their blog - http://aglocoblog.blogspot.com/
But hey, while I’m here, you know what IS a creepy scam? Soulcast. They give you 50% of the profit from the AdSense they put on your blog, while they make money off every single Soulcast blog’s ads. If you want AdSense on your blog, put it on your own blog and keep 100% of the AdSense profits. They act like they don’t allow graphics because they want their blogs to be “serious” - no, they don’t want graphics because it’ll add to their bandwidth, which will leave less of your earnings for them to keep. They’re always advertising as if writing a blog on Soulcast could be considered a job. Yeah, right. Ask even the popular bloggers how much they make from their AdSense, and then halve that...and with Soulcast, you won’t even approach that.

Thank you so much for the donation. I know the animals at Best Friends will be grateful.

I remember AllAdvantage! We got some money off that, too. That was when I signed up for MyPoints and later learned I had earned a LOT of points. I’m still going strong on the latter.

You’re very welcome, Nio. I’m really sorry about your kitty.
Kari, yep we did MyPoints too. Actually, in the olden glory days of internet freebies, we did EVERYTHING. It was awesome. We had the UPS guy coming to the door every single day with fun packages that either cost nothing or almost nothing. Free tennis shoes, gift certificates, free Dan’s chocolate, free batteries, etc. Those $25 off $25 Vitamins.com coupons, the $25 off $30 at Pets.com, et al. They were great. You could be poor and still get amazing deals. We rated websites for cash, rated music, surfed, played games. Man, that was so much fun...and it’s no surprise that the bottom fell out of so many businesses. They ridiculously threw away so much money on freebies. But, Agloco looks like they have a decent plan and they’ve obviously learned from the problems of AllAdvantage. Mostly, it’s really fun to look at the membership calculator and wonder, “Hmm, if I get 50 people to sign up and they each get 5 people, how many thousands of dollars will I make each month?” I’m a dreamer, man.

Keep dreaming, then.
Yeah, I got tons of freebies. One site even gave away free stock. But the shame is that I didn’t realize it was worth anything about a year ago: should have cashed out! Now it is still better than nothing, but not nearly as high as it was in 2005.
