Gomez PEER

How does the Gomez PEER work? What does it do with my spare capacity?

Each PEER in Gomez's network serves as a "beacon," running in the background of your PC, contributing its spare resources (such as otherwise wasted processing power, RAM, and bandwidth) to test the performance of Web sites.

How does Gomez select Active PEERs?

Gomez selects Active Gomez Peers based on validated System Characteristics and System Activity. Make sure you download, install, and run the Gomez PEER after you submit your application. Systems with higher activity are more likely to be made Activate. If you do not run the PEER, your account cannot be made Active, (users will not be activated without accrued System Activity)!

Our Pending Peers will be continuously considered for activation. The best way to improve your chances of being selected as an Active Gomez PEER is to run the PEER as often as possible.

Gomez will notify you of your Account Status via e-mail within 14 business days of you submitting your application. Your up-to-date account status is displayed in the "Account Status" bar on your Gomez PEER user interface.

NOTE: Active Gomez PEERs are selected according to Gomez's current business needs.
