click or don’t click the ask.com ads? Use it but don’t cheat it!

There is still much discussion on how Agloco will pay it’s members for using the Viewbar. Agloco sent recently to it’s members a email explaining how Ask.com is doing or should do. What if members click on ads on the ask.com search page? What if members made every day 4 or 5 searches using Ask.com from the Viewbar?
revenue is important… members are using the Agloco viewbar to get money of course. but, and the is a “BUT”, don’t use the ask.com search enjine too much! don’t click to many ads! It is “click fraud” and ask.com will be no longer interested in advertising on Agloco. since ask.com is the only partner at this time, Agloco should take care of it and by no means ask members to cheat.
here is the e-mail members got from Agloco:

Dear MY NAME,

Our first data points are in with our AGLOCO/Ask search system. Average net revenue for AGLOCO per click is already over US$0.20 – the average Member click through rate on ads on the Ask search page – 20% to 25% of the time the ad is clicked on (one ad click for every 4 to 5 searches).

If every AGLOCO Member did 4 to 5 Ask searches a day and they clicked on average just one ad, the revenue generated for the AGLOCO community would be US$6.00 per month per Member. This would be a great start to building revenue for Member distributions.

AGLOCO’s challenge is to get every Member to have the Viewbar open all the time and to use the Ask search box to make their searches.

If you haven’t used the Viewbar to do an Ask search. We implore you to do it now. Member feedback on the Ask search results has been extremely favorable (most Members reporting they rate Ask results as good as Google’s or better.).

If you have had problems with getting a download of the new Viewbar, we added CNET’s Download.com Click here to go to their site to have fast download. http://www.download.com/Viewbar/3000-2381-10753362.html?part=dl-Viewbar& subj=uo&tag=button

The Company Blog www.blog.agloco.com has updates on many issues like Member Distributions and company finances.

Also, there is a discussion of the idea of making your AGLOCO hours salable now. Visit the blog and you can comment on this.

We believe members should use the viewbar normally, maybe more than the 5 hours/month,using Ask.com for searches and click on ads that are interesting. there may be some good deals also.
