Today, some netizens reacted that searching for "Pinduoduo" in the Huawei application market, unable to find the ordinary user version, only displaying the business version, and searching for "pits" or "many deaths", but can search for Pinduoduo APP?
Lujiu Finance conducted actual measurements, indeed, whether it is searching for "Pinduoduo" or the common abbreviation "pdd" of Pinduoduo, it cannot display the normal ordinary user version, and can only search for the business version.
In addition, Lujiu Finance has tried keyword searches such as "more dead", "more meat", "many pits", "many more", etc., of which only "many dead" and "many pits" can search for pinduoduo APP, and other search results have nothing to do with it.
So, is it really the bad image of Pinduoduo in Huawei's eyes? It is not easy to make a conclusion, after all, in the application market search "a lot more", the first result is also the Pinduoduo APP itself.
Not only Huawei's app store is like this, some Tiger Poker netizens said that their Meizu mobile phone search "Pinduoduo", the result is the same as Huawei, only the business version, and there is no most common ordinary user version of the APP.
Further testing, in the App Store of Apple mobile phones and the software store of OPPO mobile phones, the first search result of "pit more" and "many dead" is also Pinduoduo APP. In the application market of Xiaomi mobile phones, searching for Pinduoduo, the display results are normal.
"It doesn't have to be deliberate in the app market." Steve (pseudonym), a senior programmer, told Lu Jiu Finance that this may be caused by an algorithm, for example, many users who want to download Pinduoduo are searching for "pit more" and "dead more", then the algorithm will automatically associate these keyword search results with Pinduoduo, "However, searching for 'Pinduoduo' can not come out of the normal APP, it is the algorithm that cannot explain, this is Huawei's background operation." ”
In addition, an employee of the marketing department of a company commented: "Pinduoduo Marketing Department SEM (search engine marketing) still has to do, invest in keywords, and then pay according to clicks, you can show the conversion, the effect is not bad." ”
Indeed, not only a variety of "x duoduo" may point to Pinduoduo app search results, including people often ridicule "and xixi" and "spelling daddy", the first search result in the Huawei application market, are Pinduoduo APP. What is suspicious is that Huawei mobile phones have such a large number of users, according to the general truth, Pinduoduo officials should have discovered this problem long ago. However, why it has not been improved and solved for a long time is unknown.
Lujiu Finance exchanged views with Pinduoduo on the search results of Huawei and Meizu mobile app store "Pinduoduo", and Pinduoduo did not comment on this.
At present, it seems that "it has offended Huawei, so Huawei deliberately turned 'Pinduoduoduo' into 'pit many'" should be a rumor.
However, why do so many users search for "pits" when looking for Pinduoduo, which affects the algorithm? This can't help but make people think deeply.
