how to prevent high-quality content from being crawled in the AI era? Google is exploring network monetization solutions in the Chrome browser to provide new revenue models for webmasters and creators.
Advertising Era Goes Downhill
Many content creators and webmasters rely on advertising to cover operating costs. The more people visit their websites, the more revenue they and Google earn.
However, in the AI era, users can get the answers they want by bypassing these websites, resulting in reduced income for content creators and webmasters.
Monetization Scheme
IT Home reported in February this year that Google is developing network monetization standards, which allow users to pay websites directly and preview related content through small payments, helping webmasters open up new revenue channels besides other traditional methods such as advertising and subscriptions.
Software engineer Alexander Surkov recently proposed introducing relevant code into the Chromium source code to build a secure and portable online micropayment system.
The network monetization API envisioned by Surkov has the characteristics of "micropayments" and "no user interaction required". Its deployment method is also very simple. It only requires adding the "rel=monetization" attribute to the "link" element in the HTML code.
Webmasters can add new attributes to the website code, and for users, they need to set up digital wallets such as Gatehub and Fynbos first. After visiting the page, they will receive a payment order. Users can also set up password-free payment.
Advantages
Web monetization is a web technology that enables website owners to earn micropayments from users when they interact with their content, Google said in a new support document.
Google believes that this system has two advantages:
Support small amount payment
No user interaction
If the visitor has set up a wallet for a specific website, this will start a new web monetization session. The visitor has control over the entire process, including the website they want to reward and the amount of the reward.
