Business IT Support Should be Able to Check The Popularity Of Any Computer Optimisation Software In 15 Minutes or Less!
October 16, 2009 |
Overview - This articles outlines a fast method for anyone to form their own opinion of the popularity of any computer optimization program (e.g. Registry fix software, registry cleaner software, error fixing software etc..). It also uses the real life example of a website dedicated to help users fix computer errors, which has already adopted this method for screening relevant software for further review.
Readers should be forewarned that this method is still new and imperfect, yet that it still represents a superior alternative to most of other approaches available .
The problem - Despite the range of software claiming to optimize computer performance, most computer users do not tend to rely on impartial information in order to verify the popularity of computer optimization software before making their purchase. This is a problem because computer optimization software, which are not popular may be new, unproven or both and are therefore riskier than more popular ones.
The options - Most users still rely on forums. However the problem with this method is that forums only provide anecdotal evidence (at best) of the popularity of any software, another downside is the risk that forum participants are just promoting their own products instead of sharing their independent opinion.
Another option is to visit the website(s) of the software vendors. The obvious problem with this method is that the vendors are partial to the software they are selling.
Another method is to rely on an independent site, which compares different computer optimization software in the same family, for instance Anti-Virus software, Registry Cleaning Software, Anti Adware/ Spyware software etc…. The challenge with this method is that the vast majority of these websites focus primarily on the detailed functionality and do not provide independent data on the real popularity of the software they are comparing.
So how can users looking to optimize their computer form their own independent opinion of the most popular software to purchase? (click on registry fix software example)
15 Minutes Method - A superior method is to look at the data provided by digital market places such as Clickbank for example, which is the largest of them all. Digital market places are now selling many of the most popular computer optimization software and also give these software an indicator of popularity often called Gravity. In the main, Gravity is an indicator of the number of sales for a particular digital product over time. The Gravity measure of any digital product is calculated and compared independently from any software vendor by Clickbank. However imperfect, this indicator is a good independent way to measure popularity. Users can in any event, independently verify the actual popularity of any computer optimization program by visting Clickbank or a similar digital marketplace. Eventhough this method also has its own limitation (some Computer Optimization Software may not be sold through Clickbank), the fact remains that it is one of the most accessible method of independent review today.
Example - Some software review sites have adopted this method and are now referring to the Clickbank popularity of the digital products that they are also reviewing independently (Click on fix registry errors for a live example).
