New pay-to-surf
Since the AGLOCO thing didn't seem to work out (I got a "Service Update" via e-mail this month - details below), I've downloaded the bar from CashFiesta to try it out. They've been around since 2000, and they appear to have been paying out consistently, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
The toolbar shows two ads at a time, and they are usually the annoying blinky ones, so it's not always easy to ignore. Plus, you've got to click on Pedro to wake him up more often than I'd prefer. Well, his name is really "Fiesta Boy" but I call him Pedro, When he's sleeping, you're not earning any points. He tends to sleep a lot, particularly when I'm blogging. Even though the internet window is open, I suppose it appears that I'm not surfing.
On the down-side, they've a complicated points earning structure, and points-to-cash formula I'm not even going to try to explain. I just know more points is good. Plus, it appears that you need to request a pay-out yourself - they don't automatically send you the money once you reach the minimum payout. Oh, and the minimum payout is $50. Since I've only been doing it for a few weeks, I don't know how quickly or slowly that will happen, but again, more points are better.
They do have bonus offers which are supposed to get you more points or cash. I will say that when I reported a problem with one of these offers, the support was very quick to respond and fix the issue, so that was very encouraging. It does seem like somebody is minding the store.
So, if you're willing to give it a try for two months or so and see what happens, I would only ask that you please sign up using my referral link: CashFiesta. And come back here to comment on your experiences, good or bad. I'm curious as to how everyone else finds their service.
And remember, a tried-and-true site full of free-cash offers with only a $10 minimum payout and automatic checks sent to your door (that is, you don't have to request a check once you make the minimum) is available on CashCrate.com. I've been a member for over two years now and I love getting that unexpected check in the mail. You earn cash for submitting your info to free offers - and there's full disclosure as to what is required before you even click on the offer. Pick the ones you like, skip the ones you don't and refer your friends to earn 20% of your first level referrals and 10% of your second level referrals.
And here's the scoop on the AGLOCO thing. Even though they haven't updated their company blog since October, I did get an e-mail from them dated December 12th. The contents are below. Make your own conclusion, but I've since uninstalled my toolbar.
We would like to update you on the status of AGLOCO's operations. We continue to believe in the AGLOCO concept, but our revenue is currently not sufficient to give Members a meaningful distribution. And though there are increases in membership, the resulting revenue is not enough to support operating costs. As a development team we are unable to continue to use our savings to fund the operations. If any Member would like to pursue continuing the operations of AGLOCO, you may contact us at agloco1@live.com .
We would like to thank every Member for supporting our effort to bring a piece of the Internet directly to the user. We hope that we can find a way to keep the operations going.
