We’ve been tracking the progress of Agloco since the very beginnng and although we are not promoting Agloco nor recommendng it, we still are receiving the updates from them on a regular basis. Although Agloco was virally marketed and caught the attention of hundreds of thousands of people, it still seems like a snow job to us. Beside the fact that the toolbar is packed with spyware and left a virus on the computer we installed it on and beside the fact nobody has seen a single dime in earnings, suddenly we’re beginning to wonder how low can Agloco go. On Monday we received the following email from Agloco Member Coordinator Danny Jorgensen which appears to be a case of Aglogo encouraging “click+fraud“. Here’s the email.

While I’m not exactly sure how Ask.com handles their advertising program (honestly, I wasn’t aware they had one) but I know that Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher Network strictly prohibit publishers from encouraging people to click on ads. Apparently Ask.com doesn’t have such rules in place or Agloco is blatantly ingnoring them by pushing this emailto members and enticing them to click on more ads to make the program more revenue. Either way, it once again shows the lack of fundamental principles of internet affiliate publishing and throws more egg on Agloco’s already sullied face.
