我見到咗Bing Chat入面第一個iteration嘅ads,佢哋係咁樣嘅

我extensively test咗Bing Chat,發現Microsoft已經開始show ads——佢哋cleverly embed喺highlighted source citations入面,當你click去verify information嘅時候出現。

呢篇文章寫於2023年,部分內容可能已經有變化。

Microsoft上個禮拜(2月8日)announce之後,一個大question係「Microsoft點樣make money?」好多人嘅hypothesis係隨住人用Bing Chat interface/workflow多咗,佢哋唔會用傳統search interface。而且人assume喺Bing Chat interface入面,show ads唔容易。

我兩日前寫咗一篇文章關於呢個,「Chat對Paid search revenue同SEO嘅潛在影響」。

而家我可以喺Edge browser用Bing chat,我一直test緊睇有冇ads。答案係Yes。有ads(per Microsoft喺announcement講嘅,ads由一開始就會有 :D)。

自從我被white-listed用Bing Chat之後,我一直嘗試用佢睇有冇見到ads。我focus on travel同credit card因為,由我嘅working experience,呢啲verticals通常有好多search advertisers。

以下係我搵到嘅嘢

1) Search text ads被整合到Bing Chat嘅answers入面

現時嘅iteration係Bing Chat highlight answers嘅各個部分去indicate information sources。當你mouse over啲highlights,你會見到organic results嘅snippet同search ad。

例如,當我try research "travel to Tokyo as a family",呢個係我搵到嘅

第一個screenshot係Bing Chat建議我嘅hotels:

如果你click highlighted phrase,呢個係你會見到嘅

best hotels in Tokyo ads from Bing Feb 2023 2

我repeat同樣嘅exercise for "credit card",以下係我見到嘅

2) 其他類型嘅ads正在experiment中?

除咗上面嘅text ad examples,喺某啲conversations嘅bottom,Bing Chat仲show咗Maps同hotel listings俾我。我唔sure呢啲目前係唔係ads,但如果Bing將來offer呢類ad俾advertisers我唔會surprise。

3) 總結

So there you have it。Microsoft開始experiment唔同嘅ad formats喺Bing Chat入面。佢哋會based on user feedback iterate over time因為仲係early stage。

作為end user我對呢啲ads有咩感覺?佢哋seem ok。Ads只係喺我click去understand某啲information嘅reference sources嗰陣先trigger。所以我典型嘅Bing Chat experience remain alright :)

如果你做advertising或media,你點睇呢個ad format?你會唔會recommend你嘅clients test Bing Chat上面嘅ads?話我知。

祝好,
