For my future investing ventures I often draw the inspiration from various sources on the Internet. As I see it, in times to come the virtual Internet property such as quality domain names or high traffic web sites will be continuously growing in value as the demand increases and good virtual property becomes harder and harder to come by.

So recently I had, once again, attempted to capture near expiring, in my opinion potentially highly valuable domain name thef1forum.com. The plan? Developing the domain into a respectable entity amongst the already existing Formula 1 online communities.

I realized that this domain is passed its expiry date in the pending delete status only a few weeks ago. Always on the lookout for new opportunities, I made sure to keep an eye on it for the days to come and used the GoDaddy’s back order service to get the domain into my hot hands as soon as its released to the public (for the less informed, at normal circumstances, while pending delete, a domain is released to the public six dates after its last update).

Unfortunately at the end, my excitement came to an abrupt end by email from GoDaddy stating the following:

We’re sorry, but the following domain name(s) that you backordered was not captured successfully:
THEF1FORUM.COM

Obviously the plan did not work out as I expected and the domain name is now in possession of somebody with a little bit faster trigger than myself. What surprised me though, was the fact that GoDaddy, while unsuccessful in their capture, have still charged my card with the backorder fee. Admittedly, I was way too excited from the prospect of creating a quality formula 1 forum to read through the tons of strings attached to GoDaddy back ordering process. Call me naïve but my expectations were, that without delivered service no fees should be charged and more so in the process as nontransparent as the capture of expired domains.

Anyway, moving on. As it stands right now, the domain name is currently being parked with one of those parking services and I only hope that its new owner will actually make it into something worthwhile same as I was hoping to do.

I first came across Tyler Cruz’s blog about 6 months ago and have been coming back ever since. The style of writing, refreshing honesty and descriptive details in his posts all make for highly educational yet entertaining reading.

Who is Tyler Cruz?
Tyler is a young and accomplished Internet entrepreneur from Canada (is it just me or does Canada provide somehow too fertile soil for the bloggosphere? So many successful bloggers and web services seem to originate from there ) , owner of some rather accomplished web sites such as PokerForums.org, Movie-Vault.com or PublisherSpot.com.

What distinguishes Tyler Cruz from others?
A great question I am glad you asked. These days where every man and his dogs have a blog (sometimes few of them each) it is not so easy for an individual blogger to stand out.

Yet it appears to me, that Tyler’s honest and open approach to blogging guarantees his place in the spotlight as he is never afraid to disclose lots of personal (here he quite literally invited all the reading public into his place) and web business (here he took a temporary set back in his affiliate marketing efforts like a man in order to moves onto some more suitable projects) information.

I guess somewhere along those two approaches lies the secret which keeps his ever growing readers hooked. After all, I don’t think that your average Internet reader is all that much different from the average reality TV show fan. Show them a little bit of web celebrity (eg. quality web site owner or profitable Internet earner), couple that with few learning tips on how its done and spice up with some details about his personal life and voila! Successful blog is born.

What I love about Tyler Cruz
I can’t really put my finger on it, but I guess I am no different to any other blogging punter trying to earn few bucks learning some profitable strategies from the ones who “made it” (yeah Tyler don’t act surprised once you can keep on playing the Guitar Hero II on your XBox 360 all days long without the worry about your next pay cheque, man you know you made it ).

And so I immensely enjoy the lengthy, very regular and very descriptive posts of one young man’s fight for success. A fight, many of us don’t even have the guts to begin.

What I hate about Tyler Cruz
Using “hate” in the heading did get your attention didn’t it? Well there is not much to hate really. If I do have a problem with anything on his blog, than perhaps, I would point out Tyler’s occasional copycat approach. Even a half conscious blogger must have noticed that Tyler is a keen John Chow fan (latest example is, after all, review for link program in both of which yours truly gladly participates ) every now and again dressing up some John’s idea neatly for his own blog.

But can we blame him? I don’t think so. As arguably one of the most profitable bloggers of today, John Chow has been a source of ideas and inspiration to hundreds maybe thousands would be Dot Com Moguls, including the humble writer of this article.

Hence, after all, Tyler Cruz is just cleverly using the best tools available in the Blogging Town for his own benefit and, needles to say, it works a treat! With his trademark honesty and “tongue in cheek” humor he is also the first one to point this fact out with his own “monkey see monkey do” remarks.

So Tyler, good luck on your journey to Internet wealth, I am right behind you reading your every post as you publish it

It has been few weeks since my article Getting paid for browsing Internet describing the opportunity for additional income for an activity we all like doing for free. Needless to say that the past weeks have been rather eventful on the AGLOCO front so let’s get to it.

Viewbar release date
According to last information on the official AGLOCO blog, the Viewbar development team is experiencing some minor difficulties integrating their tool with third party ad server. For these reason the previously announced release 16 April is very unlikely to be met. New rough delivery timeframe now seems to be the end of April.

Viewbar distribution order
The AGLOCO development team is advising us, that the Viewbar won’t be released to all members at once, rather AGLOCO will provide it in order of registration date to approximately 50,000 members a day comes the release date. This means that even the newest members won’t be left behind with their earnings as the distribution to entire members base should be completed within 10 to 11 days. By these counts, to this day AGLOCO appears to have around 500,000 to 600,000 members worldwide! Not bad effort for a program not yet fully operational.

Use of Viewbar
Since there have been number of queries and rumours floating around in the community, AGLOCO is setting the record straight on the ways of “legal� use of the Viewbar. As advised, it is perfectly ok if more than one member share one Viewbar on one shared computer. As each member is required to log into his/her AGLOCO account via the Viewbar before the beginning of a paid browsing session, it will be easy to distinguish the earnings of each member.
So far AGLOCO did not say how will they prevent one person creating multiple accounts, a forbidden practice indeed.

Where will the money come from?
Easily understandable business plan works on the principles not dissimilar to those of any advertising network. AGLOCO has been, apparently, furiously selling the advertising space on their Viewbar and had already signed contracts with 17 advertising companies ie. sources of thousands of ads.
So this is how AGLOCO plans to generate the revenue, part of which could belong to you too if you register. Remember? Signing up does not cost anyone any money and all you have to lose is few hours spending browsing the Net, which you do anyway and for free or not?

Questions and concerns
Do you thing that AGLOCO is an unprecedented success or a scam in making? What are you experiences? Let me know in the comments here or into my email sog@shopinthemall.com.
