How To Verify The Real Popularity of Any Computer Optimization Software In 15 Minutes or Less?

October 23, 2009

Overview - This article draws attention to a fast method that anyone can use to independently review 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 be made aware of the fact that, whilst the method described in this article is still new and imperfect it can still be used to their advantage.   

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 challenge as computer optimization software which are not popular may be either new, or unproven or both, are therefore riskier.

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. The trouble is that software vendors are obviously partial to their products, and this is the downside of using this method.

Another option, is to review independent sites, which usually compare several computer optimization software in the same category for instance Anti-Virus software, Registry Repair 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. There as several digital market place which sell many of the most popular computer optimization software and they 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. Clickbank compute and compare the Gravity score of any digital product independently from any software vendor. However imperfect, Gravity is a good independent measure of 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. 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).
