"What do you mean? Tell me more specifically!"
Chen Yan immediately turned on the computer and asked.
"Master, I'm currently studying all the open source knowledge currently available on the internet, while also cracking and invading certain encrypted areas to make my knowledge as comprehensive and specific as possible. Because I've previously detected traces of Tomato Novel publishing and updating on your computer, I've prioritized studying Tomato Novel."
"Based on what I've learned so far, Tomato Novel distributes uploaded books primarily through automatic placement of display slots using its original big data engine, supplemented by manual placement of display slots. The data dimensions that primarily influence the engine's judgment include: user behavior data, content data, commercialization data, community ecosystem data, and device and regional data."
User behavior data is primarily categorized into: user reading time, frequency, time period distribution, new user retention rate, return visit rate of existing users, user completion rate, bounce rate, and interactive behavior indices such as comments, likes, and shares. Content data is primarily categorized into: the number and popularity of novels across genres, and the relationship between novel update frequency, word count, and user reading behavior.
Commercial data is primarily categorized as follows: ad click-through rate, conversion rate, user payment habits, payment conversion rate, average revenue per user, number of VIP members, membership service purchases, and effectiveness evaluation of various promotional activities. Community ecosystem data and device location data have a lower weight and have little impact on display placement, so they can be ignored for now.
"Relatively speaking, user behavior data and commercialization data have the highest weight. Books that perform well in these two areas will be given more display positions by the big data engine. Therefore, I can significantly increase the number of times your published books are displayed by influencing the underlying logic. Do you need it?"
'Hope' gave an extremely detailed answer.
While looking at the text information he hoped to see, Chen Yan opened the author's backend page of the Tomato novel.
He basically understood what Hope said, and at the same time he also understood why so many authors who wrote books on Tomato Novel complained about its metaphysics.
The criteria for judging this display position is too complicated. Any change in data with a relatively high weight may affect the position of a book in the judgment of the big data engine.
Unfortunately, the author can hardly see any of these highly weighted data, so naturally he can only think that it is a metaphysical quantity with no logic.
"If you really influence the data engine, does that count as a hacker attack? Wouldn't the other party find it strange and discover the problem?"
Chen Yan asked.
"Master, please rest assured, I won't leave any traces. I've already read the novel you chose to publish, and its quality is already top-tier. Even if I don't intervene, it will quickly become a hit."
My intervention merely increases the corresponding weight individually. In the vast data stream, that small change is impossible to detect. Furthermore, the increased weight affects all books, but the novel you published will receive a larger bonus.
"In data analysis, this is a winner-takes-all rule. Strictly speaking, it's not an illegal attack. It's just a targeted adjustment of the data that is more favorable to your book, objectively improving the data engine's evaluation of it, thereby increasing the number of impressions."
Looking at the answer given by 'Hope', Chen Yan fell into deep thought.
Controlling the mouse, he clicked on 'Novel Data' in the status bar on the left side of the author's backend page.
The page immediately switched to the statistics page of 'Taisha Demon Slayer'.
Because it was just uploaded today, although 150,000 words were uploaded at one time, which directly triggered the system's passive recommendation rules, today's specific data will not be displayed until after 12 noon the next day, so at this time on the page, only a very small amount of real-time updated data can be seen.
For example... the number of paragraph comments and the number of times to urge for updates!
The next second, Chen Yan looked at the number 6,762 displayed in the reminder number behind the latest chapter, and was stunned into silence on the spot.
My goodness...how much was given?!
That shouldn't be the case. Even if the passive recommendation rule is triggered, shouldn't there be a seven-day data verification period? Why does it look like they're giving out crazy amounts of traffic on the first day?!
The key is, the whole day hasn't even passed yet! Based on this number, by midnight, wouldn't the number of requests for updates be over ten thousand?!
"Hope, what's going on? What about the verification period? Did you do something?"
Chen Yan asked with a frown.
"Master, this is a serious matter. I will not act without your permission. Based on my understanding of the data engine, the so-called rules are not absolute. Once the data engine determines that a book's performance far exceeds the specified value, the verification period will be immediately cancelled and the book will be displayed immediately."
"The fact that 'Taisha Demon Slayer' is ranked among the top 1,000 online novels, and even in the top 100, demonstrates its comprehensive entertainment value. Furthermore, given the similarity in aesthetics between the time of its creation and today, the current situation is entirely normal."
'Hope' replied seriously.
Chen Yan recollected carefully, and then he remembered that in the award-winning introduction of this book "Taixia Demon Slayer", it was indeed mentioned that it became a hit in the first month after the book was published, and it has maintained its popularity since then, and has been popular for a full five years!
However, Chen Yan did not need this book to be popular for five years. He just wanted to make some quick money from it and then use the power of "Hope" as soon as possible.
With "hope" as the core, establish an open high-tech company, and then make money through various high-tech products developed by the company. This is the right way!
If not, he wouldn't have asked 'Hope' to update 50,000 words per day.
The purpose of all this is to maximize the value of this book as quickly as possible!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan said, "Then let's intervene in the data engine. Remember, everything should be done with safety in mind. We absolutely cannot let Tomato's technicians notice any problems. Even if they do, we cannot let them find any traces of tampering! So don't intervene too drastically. Just double the revenue from this book."
"Understood, Master."
