Is a comparison of document management systems something you expect actually find, as something written by humans? I wouldn't write such an article, I don't know who would.

The only people who seem to be writing these types of comparison articles are spammers.

I typed this reply without checking, but I checked now, and yeah -- if you google "document management system comparison", you get ads for document management systems, and search engine spam. That's hardly helpful.



2nd result I got from that exact search is an article from techradar:

https://www.techradar.com/uk/best/best-document-management-s...

Do you consider that search engine spam?


Yeah, that's affiliate marketing dressed up as a review. They're getting a kickback for several of the links in the review.

The deal on DocuWare is perhaps the most obvious, but the Abbyy-link also run through an affiliate marketing redirect service.
