MTL - Since 2000-Chapter 136 : The future of the search marketplace

Zhou Hongyi has been exhausted recently.

After Qiandu also began to use plug-ins to kidnap the address bar, the traffic of 3721 began to gradually decline. Although the company still occupies a leading position, Zhou Hongyi was still worried.

Moreover, Lao Zhou has another competitor.

What if 168 also took this approach?

Lao Zhou worriedly clicked on 168's website.

Looking at the simple page and the conspicuous search box, Zhou Hongyi was silent.

He couldn't understand Lin Feng's operation.

In his opinion, 168 should have a great advantage at this time, so why not pursue it?

If 168 is his own, Lao Zhou has absolute confidence that he can push 168's website traffic to an unprecedented peak.

If it was someone else, Zhou Hongyi might laugh at the other's shortsightedness, but he didn't dare to think that way about Lin Feng.

However, why did he focus on the home page when he clearly could compete for the address bar.

Zhou Hongyi repeatedly opened and closed the browser.

His computer is naturally bundled with the 3721 plug-in, so he doesn't need to search in the 168 search bar, just enter the desired content in the address bar.

He repeatedly operated, hoping to find inspiration in it.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.

168 has become the first choice for 80% of computer users, and the traffic contained in it has reached a terrifying level.

168 has an advantage that no one can ignore, that is, he does not need to install plugins at all.

As long as users choose 168 as their homepage, they naturally choose 168 to search.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hongyi broke out in a cold sweat.

With trembling hands, he clicked on the website made by his competitor Qiandu some time ago.

Qiandu has an advantage over 3721 in terms of search technology. Why would they spend all their energy to create a website for all people who should be competing with 3721 for the address bar?

Lao Zhou fell into deep thought.

Is this the future trend?

Lao Zhou anxiously stood up and walked back and forth in the office.

After a long time, he took out a blank sheet of paper.

3721 is currently bundled with 70% of the address bar, and the thousand degrees is about 20%. In this regard, it should have an advantage.

However, this advantage will gradually be narrowed with the strength of the thousand degrees.

So, what about the market share of 16?

Lao Zhou picked up the pencil and quickly scribbled on the paper.

Eighty percent of people use 168 as their home page, although not everyone will use the 168 search box to search, but as long as half of the people use it, then the 168 search traffic will reach 40% of the horror.

At first glance, it seems that 3721 still has the advantage, but Lao Zhou knows in his heart that it is not.

On the bright side, 3721 occupies 70% of the address bar, but how many of them are using the 168 homepage?

Thinking of this, Lao Zhou suddenly woke up, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

I kept my eyes on Qiandu, but I didn't expect that 168 had unknowingly grabbed a large share of the market.

Lao Zhou quickly recalled the recent website traffic statistics ranking, and he suddenly found that the traffic of the 168 website has gradually caught up with himself.

You know, before this, 3721 has always been proud of its traffic chasing the three major portals.

"Mom drop a slap." Thinking that his unintentional talkativeness had provoked such a strong opponent, Lao Zhou could not wait to slap his ears.

But now that the strength of 168 has been highlighted, how should I deal with it?

"Should I also make a website?" Zhou Hongyi muttered to herself.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Zhou opened the websites of the three major portals.

The search service of the three major portals has always been provided by 168, and now they have passed the trial period and started to pay.

But the fee charged by 168 is very low, which is no different from giving away for free.

Lao Zhou fell into contemplation again.

Based on his understanding of Lin Feng, it is impossible for Lin Feng to have the spirit of sacrificing himself for others, so what is his purpose?

Lao Zhou clicked on the 168 website again, and then entered the portal website along the navigation bar.

The search bar of the portal website was a bit dazzling, and Lao Zhou entered what he wanted there.

The page was switched accordingly, and the search function of 168 began to be revealed.

"If users enter the portal through 168, then 168 will intercept traffic upstream. If they use 168's search service, can they continue to steal traffic?" Zhou Hongyi frowned and fell into thought.

"Whether that's what it means or not, let's muddy the water first." Thinking of this, Lao Zhou felt that he should take advantage of the opportunity to vaguely remind some people.

Lin Feng didn't know that his fellow villager had made small moves against him behind his back, and Li Yanhong, who was a thousand degrees, didn't know that his biggest competitor had begun to seriously think about the direction of the search market.

Like Zhou Hongyi, the 168 website was also opened on Li Yanhong's computer, and a blank piece of paper was placed in front of him.

The birth of 168 Search took away many potential customers who should belong to him~www.novelbuddy.com~, which made Qiandu suffer a great loss.

As expected by Zhou Hongyi, these search services do not actually bring many benefits to the company, but they can increase the popularity and traffic of the website.

If it weren't for his recent involvement in implanting plug-ins to kidnap the address bar, I believe Qiandu's life would have been even more difficult.

Kidnapping the address bar can indeed have strong competitiveness in the short term, but Li Yanhong believes that this is not the future direction.

Li Yanhong silently wrote the names of the three companies on the paper.

3721's current advantages are obvious, they occupy the largest market share, and their agency channels have absolute advantages.

But they don't seem to realize the huge space of the search market in the future, and their search targets are currently only targeting corporate users, not covering the national search. Therefore, 3721 can only be regarded as an immediate opponent, as long as you give yourself Time, Li Yanhong is confident that he can beat them.

168 has huge traffic, and their agency channel is being established on the basis of legendary promotion, but it is still in its embryonic state, but they have an absolute advantage in capital.

And they have formulated the strategic direction of national search from the very beginning. Although they are not mature enough in technology, compared with 3721, their future is the most headache for Li Yanhong.

Li Yanhong fell into deep thought.

Qiandu's current biggest advantage is technology. Their searchable index is more than twice that of their competitors, but their market share is also at an extreme disadvantage.

"If the thousand degrees can be merged with 168, it will be perfect."

For some reason, an extremely absurd idea suddenly popped out of Li Yanhong's mind.
