As a senior website operations expert, I fully understand the core value of content in the digital age.The creation of high-quality content is important, but how to efficiently reach the target users, achieve maximum exposure, and implement fine management is the key to operational success.AnQiCMS (AnQi CMS) is a powerful content management system that provides us with many conveniences in this aspect.Today, we will delve deeply into a powerful yet often overlooked feature in AnQiCMS — 'Recommended Attributes', and see how to cleverly use it to significantly improve content exposure rate and classification efficiency.

Unlock AnQiCMS content exposure in a new way: skillfully use 'recommended attributes' to enhance traffic and classification efficiency

When adding a document in the AnQiCMS backend, you will see an option named "Recommended Properties" on the editing page.It is not just a simple content classification or tag, but a set of preset 'flags' or 'badges' with specific meanings, designed to provide additional, dynamic display methods and priority for your content.Through these recommended properties, you can accurately inform the system: 'This content is important, please place it in these 'gold positions'!'}]

Recommended attributes: the dual benefit of content exposure and flexible classification

1. Significantly improve content exposure rateThe headline area, hot recommendations module, and product slide show on the homepage are all the 'golden positions' that users pay attention to first when browsing the website.By setting the recommendation attributes, we can easily 'push' the most important, freshest, and most popular content to these key areas.For instance, an精心策划的市场活动文章，if marked as “幻灯” attribute, can attract users' attention on the homepage large-size carousel; an in-depth industry analysis, marked as “头条” or “特荐”，can occupy the C position in important sections and gain a large number of clicks.This proactive exposure strategy is much more efficient than passively waiting for users to discover content through categories or search.

2. Achieve more flexible content classification and groupingTraditional content categorization is typically hierarchical, defining the 'belonging' of content, while recommendation attributes provide a 'horizontal' categorization capability based on operational needs.It is a tag for the 'quality of content' or 'presentation priority'.For example, you can have an "Introduction to Products" article, which belongs to the "Products" category, but you also want it to be displayed in the "Home Recommendation" area because it is currently the featured new product.Now, 'Recommended Property' can be put to use.It breaks the limitations of single classification, allowing the same content to be reused and highlighted under different dimensions and display forms.This means great flexibility for website operators, allowing them to quickly adjust the display strategy of content based on marketing strategies, hot events, etc.

3. Optimize user browsing experience and indirectly assist SEOWhen users can quickly find the core content they are interested in, or the content the website wants them to see, the overall browsing experience will be greatly improved.This positive user behavior (such as higher click-through rates, longer page visit durations) indirectly tells search engines that your website content is valuable and has high user engagement, which may improve the overall SEO performance and keyword rankings of your website.

How to cleverly use recommendation attributes in AnQiCMS?

When adding or editing documents in the AnQiCMS background, find the "Recommended Properties" module.Here are various properties for you to choose from. You can select single, multiple, or none.Each attribute corresponds to a unique letter identifier, and the front-end template precisely calls content through these letters.

Let's learn about some commonly used recommendation attributes and their operational scenarios:

  • Headline[h] / Bold[h]：Used for the most core and important news or articles on a website, often appearing in the most prominent position on the homepage or emphasized in the list page with bold text or other methods.
  • [en]: Recommended [c]This is a generic recommendation identifier that applies to content you want users to find more easily, but not necessarily occupy the absolute C position, such as popular articles in the sidebar, related reading recommendations, and so on.
  • Slide[f]：专为轮播图（Carousel）内容设计。通常这类内容会搭配精美大图，在首页顶部滚动展示，以吸引眼球。
  • Recommended [a]：A higher level of recommendation than 'Recommended', which can be used for key content on a specific topic page or for promoting limited-time activities.
  • [en]: Scroll[s]：For areas that require continuous scrolling of content such as bulletin boards, news tickers, and marquee displays, the amount of information is usually small but the update frequency is high.
  • [en]: Image [p]Tag content with high-quality image resources for easy use in the mixed text and image module or in a gallery.
  • Jump [j]This is a very practical attribute. If your content is not a conventional article but requires users to click to directly jump to an external link (such as a cooperative website, download page) or an internal specific link (such as an event registration page), you can use this attribute.

The calling mechanism of the front-end template

The value of these properties ultimately manifests in the flexible invocation of the front-end template.AnQiCMS provides powerful template tag features, allowing front-end developers or operators familiar with template operations to easily implement.archiveListTags, by settingflagParameters can be easily realized, for example:{% archiveList archives with type="list" flag='h' limit="1" %}This line of code tells the system: Please give me an article with the recommended attribute 'headlines', and display it. Similarly, you can call it in the 'slide area'flag='f'The content, called in the "Recommended List" areaflag='c'The content.

Content strategy and operation suggestions

  1. Clearly define, avoid abuse:Each recommended attribute should have a clear operation goal and display location.Avoid recommending all content, as this may dilute the value of 'recommendation' and leave users confused.
  2. Selective content, maintain scarcity:The recommended attribute is the 'gold resource' of the website, which should only be granted to core content that is truly valuable, attractive, and in line with the current operational objectives.Maintain the rarity of recommended content to truly unleash its appeal.
  3. Regular review and dynamic adjustment:Content operation is a continuous optimization process.Popular content changes over time, and marketing strategies also need to be adjusted.Therefore, it is crucial to regularly review and dynamically adjust the recommended attributes of the content.For example, after a time-limited event ends, the 'featured' or 'slideshow' properties should be canceled in a timely manner.
  4. Combined with other functions of AnQiCMS:Combine recommended properties with other powerful features of AnQiCMS, such as 'Scheduled publishing' to ensure content goes live at **the right time, 'Advanced SEO tools' to optimize content visibility, and 'Traffic statistics' to analyze the effectiveness of recommendations, which can achieve twice the results with half the effort.

By cleverly utilizing the 'recommended attributes' of AnQiCMS, you can not only gain more exposure for the core content, but also build a multi-dimensional and efficient content display system for the website, thereby enhancing the user experience and helping achieve the overall operational goals of the website.
