You may have heard about App ranking manipulation , but no one has ever thought about how it is done. A picture of "App Store ranking-boosting workers hard at work" was circulated on Weibo today, and it can be seen that such ranking-boosting skills are truly amazing. Nearly a hundred iPhone 5cs were neatly arranged on a special shelf, and the legendary "workers" began to swipe the phones one by one. From one side to the other, the amount swiped out in one go is equivalent to the usage indicators of nearly a hundred users. What’s important is that this kind of ranking manipulation completely simulates user usage and cannot be blocked at all. The App Store rankings are updated irregularly, sometimes once an hour or once every two hours. But as long as you can grasp an update, you can succeed in topping the charts. In the app store rankings, most users don’t know which apps are swiped to the top. They are accustomed to browsing and downloading, and the top-ranked apps have higher download volumes. This has formed a complete industrial chain, an industrial chain that cannot be broken. By the way, I have attached the following conversation (excerpt). As for the practice of cheating on the charts, don’t get involved. "The top 25 of the (Apple Store) free rankings are maintained for a week." "iPhone top 25, 16,000 yuan to get on the rankings, 13,500 yuan for one day of maintenance." "It's an open secret that swiping the rankings is something everyone is doing. Apple won't ask about sudden (curve) increases, it depends on what you think. Users don't know this, they only know to pick products at the front of the list. Now we operate two of the top ten (of the overall rankings)." " Apple often adjusts its ranking rules now. If we swipe, will there be a risk of being removed from the shelves?" "You can rest assured, our technology is very strong. Apple is adjusting (the rules) and our technical department is also making breakthroughs." |
