What % of the internet do you think has Zango installed?

my guess is: nobody cares.

i don't give a shit

I'm behind on the Zango story, but I did "clean out" a business computer last week used for invoices in a powder-coating shop that had it installed.

they say like 100 million installed computers.

153% plus a tina turner..

copied from another board:

After looking at the stats with Greenie, we calculated that he had about .15% of his traffic sent to the page over about a 24 hour period.

So, out of 2000 people going to link-o-rama, 3 were infected with zango.

hmmm, interesting....

I wish I knew how to Tango.

zango? what about the others, zango must be like 10% of spyware out there.

true there is spyware everywhere

even 2 people having zango on their computers is too much

20 million, thats it?

Out of over 1 billlion internet users only 20 million have zango lol thats not even a big deal at all people are whining to much.

It's about biting the hand that feeds you and business ethics. If noone stands up and companies like Zango keep growing, it's maybe soon 200 million, and then it's a big deal and too late to start fighting them ! At this point, it would hurt your wallet, too.

chat with zango....

That's 2 percent if the figures are correct. It may not matter if you have no traffic or a very small amount of traffic, but, if you have a 1,000,000 unique visitors a month that's 20,000 visitors a month that are tainted.

Okay, here are the numbers according to zango...

Interestingly, It means their average customer "enjoys" zango for 100 days, and it means that they do in the neighborhood of 60-70 million installs per year.

Based on what I saw for traffic (mixed link site, some TGP, some se, etc) I saw over 2%. Now, I have gotten a feeling that Zango has since stopped advertising their install on the browser line (because they know it was being targetted) so the numbers measured it I redid it today would be much lower.

Alexa says that Zango.com's reach is 1005 per million users... which would be 0.1% of the entire net. For purposes of comparision, AFF is showing 7005 per million, or about 0.8%. So if you consider AFF as having a large exposure on the net, you can pretty much be confident that zango has a pretty high exposure rate as well. (add in, sleazydream.com gets about 475 per million - so Zango is doing more than twice the level of exposure).

I am confident that around 2% of all porn surfers have Zango, and probably that many again have HAD it at some point.

I am confident in saying that there are at least another 50 spyware / scumware products out there that if they each turn maybe a half of a percent each... so that is 25% more of your surfers on the duff with crapware.

Combine that with programs shaving, traffic leaks, lost affiliate codes, confused cookies, and downright theivery, you are shockingly lucky at this point to get credit for half your traffic,

Encouraging, isn't it?

too many
