This is the part that smells bad to me: I make money from Adsense and then someone surfs over to my site and instead of that visitor clicking on my ad, he/she clicks on an ad from the AGLOCO toolbar. That's stealing from me in my book because I created the content that the contextual toolbar is detecting and I'm not being compensated for it. Is that fair? Jim,

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 04:25:01 +0000 http://www.jimkukral.com/?p=22#comment-7 [...] Let’s backtrack. I am an online marketing snob. Anything that helps “game the system” is in direct conflict with my prime directive of working to keep online marketing as a legitimate business in the minds of the “outside world”. Why? Because I care. I work in this business and I’m sick and tired of seeing the scammers drag our brand into the mud. [...] [...] Let’s backtrack. I am an online marketing snob.

However, after a few days of thinking about it, I thought "it can't hurt anybody". It's not like he's asking his readers to pay to get into the network. It's free! The only downside I see is if the banner software sucks and freezes up people's computers or has spyware and viruses. I had the same thought and I hesitated to put the same thing on my blog.

Either way, as I said on John's blog, there's nothing wrong with AGLOCO in the sense that you can take advantage of it the same way he has. It truly remains to be seen how successful AGLOCO will be this time around after the spectacular disaster of AllAdvantage but their business model looks a bit more solid this time around. The way I see it, the worst that can happen is we surf for five hours and get a buck or two. Not like we'll lose anything but the 2 minutes it takes to set up an account. Cheers.
