Top 10 downloads of the past 10 years

These 10 applications best represent the top trends in downloading over the past decade.

ICQ

Today instant messengers are ubiquitous, but when ICQ ("I Seek You") was first released in 1997, it was truly the first of its kind. Though competitors such as Yahoo Instant Messenger and AIM have since encroached on ICQ's territory, this chat client remains enormously popular with international users, and it has remained one of Download.com's most popular applications since its launch.

Download Winamp

Arriving fast on the heels of the emerging MP3 digital format, Nullsoft's Winamp was one of the darlings of the burgeoning digital audio scene in the late '90s. This free audio player quickly gained popularity, becoming one of the most popular files on Download.com, and Nullsoft was eventually acquired by AOL in 1999.


Napster

Who doesn't remember this controversial file-sharing kingpin? Developed by Northeastern University student Shawn Fanning, Napster was a groundbreaking application that enabled users to share MP3s painlessly for the first time through a peer-to-peer network. Napster has since been sued, shuttered, and reborn as a subscription music service, but its legacy remains.


Download Firefox
Developed by the open-source Mozilla project in 2003, Firefox was the first browser to show the promise of breaking Microsoft's stranglehold on the browser market. Lightweight, secure, and packed with useful features, Firefox exemplifies the promise of the strengthening open-source movement.


Download WinZip
When CNET Download.com launched in 1996, WinZip was among the first programs in our library, and in the past nine years, it has remained near the top of our Most Popular list. The reason is simple: For many years, WinZip was an essential utility. You couldn't download or send large files without it. Even the fact that Windows XP now has built-in ZIP support hasn't diminished its popularity. The keys to WinZip's success are its simplicity and its singularity of purpose: it does one thing--compressing and decompressing files--and it does it very well.


iTunes
Apple's music player and organizer makes our top 10 list for the sheer beauty of its product design. iTunes is not only a full-featured media player and library in its own right, it's also the gateway for Apple's iPod and popular music store, creating an elegant and simple interface for buying and organizing music. If only all software were this easy to use.


Download Ad-aware
Almost as soon as there was software to download, there was adware coming along for the ride. Lavasoft did its part to hold the line with Ad-aware, a spyware scanner and remover. Its simple interface and excellent results have gained the program acclaim over the past five years, including a recent monopoly on the No. 1 slot in Download.com's Most Popular list. We wouldn't download files without it, and apparently, neither would most of you.


Download Skype
If Internet signals can travel over a phone line, then voice calls can travel over the Internet, right? With a Voice-over-IP (VOIP) program such as Skype, they certainly can. The prospect of making free calls to folks all over the globe has persuaded millions of people to install the software; the ease of use and surprising voice quality have earned Skype a loyal user base and accolades that include a CNET Editors' Choice and a Webby.


Download RealPlayer
Ten years ago, the Web was full of static content. The 1995 debut of RealPlayer changed all that. Streaming audio and video in a free media player was a bold step forward into making the Internet a viable entertainment platform, and RealNetworks was there. Today the software plays almost every media format, and the online music store sells tunes compatible with most MP3 players--even the iPod. RealPlayer hasn't always been at the head of the class, but it was there first, and it keeps adapting to the developing world of online media.


Download Adobe Acrobat Reader
Bridging the gap between print and Internet publishing, Adobe's portable document format (PDF) lets publishers distribute their articles, newsletters, and documentation online without worrying about formatting problems or unauthorized alterations. By giving away the Acrobat Reader early on, Adobe helped create a nearly unassailable market position. If you want to read magazine archives or software manuals online, you need Acrobat Reader--as its nearly seven-year occupation of the Most Popular list can attest.

Top Ten SEO Tools

#1 - JustSearch's Site Comparison Tool

JustSearch's Site Comparison Tool. What better way of getting an indication of how much search engine optimisation your site needs than by comparing your site with one of your competitors. Enter your site and the URL of one of your competitors and you will not only get a decent amount of data but you will also be shown a radar graph of the data. The essentially represents a footprint of your site, compares to your competitor's footprint. Probably the best SEO tool I've seen for a while as it paints a clear picture of what needs to be done.

#2 - Backlink Watch's Back Link Checker Tool

Backlink Watch's Back Link Checker Tool. Most back link tools just tell you how many links you have. This tool goes a step further and looks at the anchor text, PageRank and number of out bound links on the linking page. It will also give you an indication of any abnormal flags like nofollow that have been used on the backlink. It does take some time to run, but it produces a good set of results.

#3 - Dig Pagerank's PageRank Tool

Dig Pagerank's PageRank Tool. Useful to see your PageRank, but more than that. You can view what you PageRank is in lots of different Google data centres and see if a PageRank update is coming your way.

#4 - SearchStatus' Firefox Extension

SearchStatus' Firefox Extension. A must have tool for any SEO that uses Firefox. A simple right click on on the unobtrusive icon will give you access to backlink for either the page or the domain, or even a neat little keyword density checker. The toolbar will also display PageRank, Alexa rank and Compete rank information.

#5 - JustSearch's Nortometer Tool

JustSearch's Nortometer Tool. Odd name, but I've not seen much like this tool out there. The tool looks at the top results in Google for a given keyword and then matches commonly used words a phrases on each of those pages. The result is 1-4 word phrases that you should be including in your content in order to match those sites that rank highly for your keyword. It is a keyword suggestion tool that doesn't use searching statistics.

#6 - Google's Webmaster Tools

Google's Webmaster Tools. The brilliant Google web master tools has a few good functions that are useful to any SEO. With a built in back link checker and a header analyser it is a good way of spotting problems in the long run.

#7 - SEO Chat's Header Checker

SEO Chat's Header Checker. This tool is handy for checking that you have put a correct form of redirect on a page or site. Search engines like 301 redirects the best, so this tool will allow you to see that a 301 is being issued. It is also handy to see that all of your pages are giving 200 codes for normal content as search engines will have issues when they don't see this.

#8 - JustSearch's Keyword Competition Tool

JustSearch's Keyword Competition Tool. This tool takes a keyword as a parameter (with the option of including your own site) and tells you how well your site is doing against the top sites for that keyword. The best bit is that it gives you a radar graph of a section of the results just like the Site Comparison Tool from JustSearch.

#9 - The Internet Archive's Way Back Machine

The Internet Archive's Way Back Machine. When looking at purchasing new domains this tool will help you see how long that domain has been about. Long-standing domains will have more of an impact than brand new ones so seeing that a domain has had a site active on it for a number of years will be beneficial.

#10 - SEO Chat's Robots.txt Generator

SEO Chat's Robots.txt Generator. A nice tool that saves a bit of time when creating a robots.txt file for any site. Just type in a list of directories and files to be excluded and it will generate the file for you.
