OctoPlus Tip: Keywords in note titles are key! “More likes if you fill in the title”

Default prompt words: Before entering a search term, the platform will recommend default prompt words based on user tags. There is a certain amount of search traffic in default prompt words.

Search discovery (hot search): Hot searches display words that have been searched the most frequently recently, guiding users to view some recently popular content and topics with large search volumes, which are related to user search volumes and recent hot topics.

Supplementary associated keywords: Supplementary associated keywords, that is, users enter partial content, and then the system associates complete content based on this content, automatically completing keywords, and displaying them through instant matching keywords to increase user selection. For example, if you search for food, the platform will recommend several keyword recommendations about food to users.

Xiaohongshu streaming distribution mechanism:
  • Considering the sorting of hot words is the result of comprehensive display.
  • In addition to the number of notes, the ranking of “hot words” may also involve two factors: the frequency of active searches by users and the popularity of notes recommended by the system itself.

Computer review: Judge whether the note contains prohibited words or violates rules.

Initial traffic allocation: Initial traffic will be determined based on content weight, account weight, and prohibited content.

Recommendation ends: Search term recommendations generally last for 4-7 days, interest tag recommendations for 3-5 months, and if there is no interactive data value, traffic distribution will stop.
