Application: Search engine optimization by selective indexing (Patent ID: US20240086383A1)
The patent filed by eBay Inc. involves a system and methods for identifying valuable view item pages for search engine optimization. The system improves upon existing systems by predicting the probability of future traffic for a product based on various factors and selecting view item pages with the highest probability of future traffic to maximize natural search traffic to a linked site. The system calculates a search traffic value for an item, assigns an index status to the item based on this value, identifies corresponding pages, assigns index tags to those pages, and returns them in response to search requests.
The system further includes generating a machine-learned model data object based on item level factors, such as a gradient boosted machine model, to calculate the search traffic value. It also involves identifying additional pages or items, assigning a no-index tag to those with low search traffic values, and determining input variables associated with the item to calculate the search traffic value. The method and machine-readable medium versions of the system follow similar processes, emphasizing the importance of predicting future traffic and optimizing search results based on calculated values and factors.
