PC Data was an American
Software Publishers Association. Initially, the firm tracked only the United States' computer software market,[1] but later expanded to include hardware sales and, in 1999, Internet traffic.[1][2] By 1996, The Washington Post described PC Data as "the preeminent tabulator of facts and figures of the monthly sales of consumer software in the United States".[1] Its coverage of the United States retail software sales market had grown to 80% by September 1998.[3]
In March 2001,
ComScore purchased the remainder of PC Data's Internet research branch.[7]
