Category channel cover recommendation, as the book "My Decathlon" received the first recommendation, Sun Quan was quite satisfied.
This is not a great recommendation, but it is also not the worst recommendation for newcomers and new books. It is better than the best, but it is better than the worst!
In a good mood, Sun Quan lit a cigarette and logged into QQ, intending to relax.
After successfully logging in to QQ, he noticed that someone was chatting in the author group of the third editing group. There were already dozens of messages displayed after the group name, and the number was still growing.
This phenomenon was not unfamiliar to him.
In his memory, the same was true for the Qidian author group in his previous life. Every Friday, when Qidian distributed recommendation slots, the author group was always more active than usual.
After puffing on his cigarette, he smiled and opened the author group of the third editorial team.
Sure enough, I saw many authors chatting, and they happened to be talking about today’s recommendation.
Desk lamp: "Spider! Have you received your new book recommendation slot? What will you recommend next week?"
Yan Hui: "Damn! I haven't received the station message yet. It seems that I will run naked again next week. I can't live this day..."
Oriental Spider: "I just received the website short message and recommended cover for the classified channel next week. I hope I can increase my collection by then."
Sunshine: "I will be strong next week, hehe!"
Desk lamp: "Spider! Your first recommendation is the category cover, which is very good! I have read your new book, and it is great. Your results will take off next week! Congratulations!"
Sunshine: "Spider, you are a veteran. This time you put on a vest and open a new book. You will definitely be able to sweep away thousands of troops in the newcomer list. Come on, win the championship of the newcomer list!"
Lou Lan: "Yes! I also believe that Spider can sweep the newcomer list! The veteran author wears a vest and joins the newcomer list. The advantage is huge!"
Yan Hui: "Spider! Come on! It's up to you!"
Oriental Spider: "Hey, thank you for your award! I'll lend you your good words and I'll try my best. However, this time it's just a small classification recommendation. It's good to be in the top ten of the rookie list. There should be no hope for the championship."
…
Sun Quan looked at the chat records of these people in the group. He had no intention of speaking at all and just smiled.
An old author wears a vest and joins the list of newcomers...
Scared me.
What a coincidence! Sun Quan is also wearing a new vest this time, and he is a newbie and new booklist.
"Oriental Spider..."
Sun Quan had an impression of this pen name. In his memory, he was one of the representative authors of Qidian military articles.
After thinking for a while, he clicked on the new book list for newcomers and found the new book currently being serialized by Oriental Spider - "East China Tigers". He saw that this book was currently ranked higher than his "My Decathlon" on the new book list.
More than fifty people tall.
"East China Tiger" 32nd place.
"My Decathlon" 87th place.
Opening the page of "Tiger of East China", he noticed that the word count of this book was currently similar to that of his "My Decathlon", both of which were around 50,000 words.
But this book has already received more than 10,000 clicks, more than 3,000 recommendation votes, and more than 700 comments in the book review area. It can be said that for a new book with this word count, the data of this book is already very good.
In comparison, his "My Decathlon" currently has just over a thousand hits, only about 200 recommendations, and only about 60 book reviews.
No matter from any aspect of data, his new book is far inferior to Oriental Spider's "East China Tigers".
But the smile on his lips remained unchanged.
Because in the book review area of "Tiger of East China", he has discovered the reason why the current data of "Tiger of East China" is so high.
"I just came from "Military Soul" and support Lao Hei! Come on Lao Hei!"
""Military Soul" is very good, I look forward to the new book being more exciting!"
…
Sun Quan saw several similar posts in the book review area of "East China Tigers". As a veteran, he took one look at such posts and knew that Oriental Spider must have opened this new book to hit the old readers.
The advertisement attracted many old readers of his previous book.
Therefore, the current data of the book "Tiger of East China" are inflated.
And this is the advantage of many old authors putting on new vests and opening new books.
If the author's popularity is good enough, when he opens a new book, he can ask other authors to recommend a few chapters for publicity, which can attract another group of readers.
unfair?
It sounds unfair! Especially to those truly new authors, it is indeed unfair.
But this is within the scope allowed by the rules of the starting point.
It is also within the rules of all novel websites!
Just like Sun Quan himself, he is also an old author wearing a new vest.
The only difference is that he did not attract old readers of the previous book like Oriental Spider.
…
In a blink of an eye, the time came to around 2 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday.
This time point is the time when all recommended positions in Qidian are changed every week.
The Qidian City channel was refreshed again, and all the works on the channel page suddenly changed. Sun Quan saw his new book appear in the middle of the webpage in the form of a small cover.
His new book has finally reached the first recommendation position since its release.
As for the effect?
We'll have to wait and see.
In the evening, after he finished writing a chapter, he refreshed the list of newcomers and new books on the homepage of Qidian. At a glance, he saw that "East China Tiger" by Oriental Spider had jumped to the 19th place on the list of newcomers and new books. The rise was indeed very rapid.
And his "My Decathlon" has climbed up a few places on the new book list, and is already ranked 61st. Compared with "East China Tigers", it is still far behind.
At around 9 o'clock in the evening, he refreshed the new book list on the homepage again and found that "East China Tigers" had climbed to the 14th place on the list, and the ranking of his "My Decathlon" had also risen again, to the 44th place.
Bit.
He refreshed his author background again. The number of collectors of "My Decathlon" just exceeded 300 and is currently 307.
Looking at the number 307, he narrowed his eyes and said to himself: Hold on! Wait for the ranking change tonight!
The rules of the starting point are that after early morning every Sunday, the data on each large and small list will be cleared, and then new data will be counted and the ranking will be re-started.
The data will not be cleared, it will probably only be the monthly ticket list and collection list.
…
It's early morning.
Just after 12 o'clock, the data on the Qidian website was delayed, and the data and rankings on the major lists had not been updated. Sun Quan silently updated another chapter, and while updating, he asked for favorites and recommendation votes at the end of the chapter.
.
As a veteran, he certainly has some experience in ranking.
This experience is that when the list is changed in the early morning of Sunday, if you add an update chapter and ask for votes and favorites, the effect may not be great, but it will definitely have some effect.
After the updated chapters were sent out, he didn't sit in front of the computer all the time to refresh the list.
It's already early in the morning, he should go to sleep!
What he can do has been done. There is no point in continuing to sit in front of the computer and look at the list data.
When he gets up tomorrow, he can see all the data and rankings he wants to see.
