How Can Anyone Tell If A Computer Optimization Software is Really Proven in Less Than 15 Minutes?

November 8, 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 - Never has the choice of computer optimization software been so vast, yet most computer users do not tend to rely on impartial information 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. This method is problematic, in that forums only provide anecdotal evidence of the popularity of any software, another challenge is the risk that participants will promote their own products using forums rather than share any independent perspective.

Another option is to visit the website(s) of the software vendors. An obvious challenge with this method is that vendors are not independent and that they will always present their software in the best possible way.

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 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. This indicator is usually linked to the volume of sales for a particular software over a period of 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. Any user will be able to verify independently if any computer optimization software is popular by visiting Clickbank, alternatively any other major digital marketplace. Even if this method is not perfect (some Computer Optimization Programs are not sold via Clickbank), it is probably the most accessible for anyone to follow independently.

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).
