Google has a platform called AdSense in addition to AdWords.
It is a fast and easy way to generate revenue. Generally, websites with a certain amount of traffic apply to join and receive relevant ads from Google, thus sharing the revenue.
We are "pawread dot com", find us on google.
Once a website joins, it becomes a publisher of Google ads.
AdSense here is very similar to various forms of self-media that everyone is familiar with. With a large amount of traffic and readers, ads will come to you.
But since it is a way to generate revenue, it is inevitable to be exploited.
On many websites, there is no actual meaningful content, just ads.
They may be hidden in strange places and do not appear in a normal form.
For example, when you want to open a video, you may need to open two or three transparent ad pop-ups that are stacked on top of each other before you can actually select the content you want to view.
This can be very frustrating.
However, websites that dare to do this usually have their own core competitiveness. They often use something that people are eager to see as bait.
Or it may be some paid resources.
Conscientious sites may actually let you see it.
If you encounter a garbage website that cheats clicks, after closing three ads, what you see may be completely unrelated to what you expected.
Meng Fanqi has also encountered a genius-style automatic pop-up interface. After accidentally clicking on an ad, it triggered as many as twenty or thirty other ads, just like nuclear fission.
The speed of the pop-up is ten times faster than closing the web page.
In less than two seconds, the entire screen is completely filled.
This so-called ad click, although it calculates the cost, is almost impossible to generate any actual value.
Although Google does not seem to be harmed by this, because these clicks will generate ad revenue, this is a very short-sighted idea.
If the ad's effect is not good, the advertiser will eventually find this out through comparison and gradually flow to companies that can provide better services.
If these garbage websites always appear on the search homepage, it will also make users gradually feel uncomfortable.
These two things are the most core pillars that have kept Google standing for more than twenty years, a huge user base and a large amount of advertising revenue.
The reason why Xi Xiaohu has always rejected clever ways to generate revenue is actually aimed at this situation.
However, the solution proposed by Meng Fanqi is obviously not the click fraud route that Xi Xiaohu originally expected.
Especially the third method has a very strong impact on garbage websites, which makes him very optimistic.
The working atmosphere at Google Shanghai is not too intense. At least there is no need to clock in and out for work, which gives people a lot of room to operate.
There are not many colleagues who stay late. Meng Fanqi is most disgusted by the intense competition, but unexpectedly, he has become the kind of person he used to dislike the most.
Looking at the brightly lit night view of the most prosperous area of Shanghai outside the window, Meng Fanqi couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, in this world, how many people really want to lie down flat? Isn't it because they are given too little, and things are too stupid? It's okay to be tired, but there are still people riding on your head and saying it's a blessing.
Doesn't Grandpa Worker know whether it's a blessing or not?
If the salary is multiplied several times, according to the laws of China, and the overtime pay on weekends and holidays is in place, the salted fish lying in bed will immediately become a lively fish.
Boss! Where are you? The brothers are all in position!
You see, now that the money is given more, isn't Meng Fanqi eager to live in the company?
It will be Christmas in a little over a week. Meng Fanqi is not sure if it will be convenient to continue the progress at that time, so he has been working hard these days.
The Fred algorithm was quickly completed.
Zhou Huan and Chen Hui did not help much with the algorithm itself, but they benefited Meng Fanqi a lot in various trivial matters, saving a lot of time.
At this moment, they are not like Xi Xiaohu, who is clear about the contract signed by Jeff and Meng Fanqi.
They are not in the AI industry, and they have not paid attention to the news of Baidu. They do not know that Meng Fanqi is now very popular and has become famous in the field of artificial intelligence.
They only treat him as a new junior who signed a formal researcher contract while still an undergraduate, which is really amazing.
This is their simple thought.
And when Meng Fanqi's finished product is in front of them, the two look at each other and realize that they have greatly underestimated each other's abilities."I can't believe it, did you develop this all by yourself in just half a week?" Zhou Huan was shocked on the spot, his legs went weak and he almost couldn't stand.
Like the animal series algorithms mentioned earlier, the Panda and Penguin algorithms were polished by several senior engineers.
To start a new algorithm on this complex system is not a simple matter.
"What animal are you going to name it this time?" Chen Hui's focus was rather strange.
"Let's call it the Tiger algorithm," Meng Fanqi said with a mischievous smile. Since Xi Xiaohu specifically came to test him at the beginning, he decided to respond in the name.
As soon as he said this, Zhou Huan and Chen Hui started to smirk.
Tiger, Little Tiger, in the end, they are both called Tiger in English, which is one of the names frequently used in internal communication by Xi Xiaohu.
The two of them didn't mind the trouble and both raised their hands in support.
"I tested it on a small scale of historical real data and it feels good," Meng Fanqi had already debugged it himself, but he didn't have the experience for large-scale situations, so he still needed the help of the two seniors.
"No problem, let's run a large-scale database online today, and if there are no issues, we'll test a couple of local ones as soon as possible," Zhou Huan and Chen Hui are old hands at this, participating in nearly a hundred rounds of testing every year.
With their assistance, the testing progress was much faster than if he had done it himself.
"Is your punishment too severe?" After lunch, the two of them were running tests and found that the traffic on many web pages had been restricted by more than 80-90%, which was quite a harsh measure and not very common.
"If we don't take a tough stance, how will those network garbage producers know to make changes?" In fact, Meng Fanqi's actual settings were a bit more lenient than Google's later version, after all, it was the first round of testing and he didn't dare to be too radical.
"The effect of the performance benefit seems to be a bit too good," Chen Hui pointed to the most important +11% number and said, "I'm afraid it won't be the same once it's online."
"Let's test the online effect in a quarter of a continent first." It was just the early morning in the United States at this time, if it went smoothly, and there were no issues, they could see the results of a 24-hour single-day effect tomorrow morning.
Zhou Huan skillfully operated and selected a California area as the test location, and Xi Xiaohu quickly approved it.
Not long after, on the other side of the Pacific, a young white man with dark circles under his eyes had just woken up and habitually checked his revenue website to see if his ranking had risen again.
But he couldn't find it on the first dozen pages.

"Where's my website? What about my website that makes over ten thousand dollars a month?"
