How Can Business IT Support Verify The Real Popularity of Any Computer Optimization Software In 15 Minutes or Less?

Overview - This article describes a fast method that anyone can use to independently assess the popularity of any computer optimization software (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 understand that the method referred to in this article is new and imperfect, yet presents a distinct advantage over most other alternatives.   

The problem - Never has the choice of computer optimization programs been so large, yet most computer users do not tend to rely on impartial information to verify the popularity of computer optimization software before buying their preferred solution. 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. Yet the problem with this approach is that forums provide, at best anecdotal evidence of the popularity of any software. Another obvious downside is the risk that participants to the forum may seek to just promote their own software instead of providing their independent opinion.

Another approach is to visit the software vendors’ websites. Clearly vendors are not independent and this is an inherent limitation of this method.

Independent sites which compare similar computer optimization software, for example Anti-virus programs, Registry Cleaning Software, Adware & Spyware removal programs etc…, represent another method. The problem with this method is that 99% of these sites go straight into the details of the technical features, and that they do not give an independent perspective of the popularity of the products they are comparing, as they lack the data to do so.

So how can anyone determine the real popularity of any computer optimization program independently? (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. Many of the most popular computer optimization software are sold at least partly through digital market places and are given an indicator of popularity known as Gravity. Gravity is an indicator, which is linked to the volume of sales for a particular program over a period of time. Clickbank calculate and compare the gravity measures of any digital product independently from any other software vendors. 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).
