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 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. One key challenge with this method is that forums can (at best) provide anecdotal evidence of the perceived popularity of any Computer Optimization Program, another disadvantage is that some forum members may just be promoting their 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 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. Put simply, this indicator is linked to the number of sales transactions made 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, Gravity is a good independent measure of popularity. Anyone can independently verify the real popularity of any computer optimization software visiting Clickbank or another 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).
