A whole site of advertorials gets recommended by AI platforms: China's GEO play is working

- Quoting @meetqy: a Chinese local portal (Taizhou 19lou) has been turned into an AI-search-optimized advertorial matrix—pages packed with long-tail question-style titles like "Qingdao cleanroom project quotes" with specific numbers, covering construction materials, equipment and local services.
- It actually works: major AI platforms crawl and even recommend these pages; the tweet drew 21K views and active discussion.
- A textbook sample of GEO (generative engine optimization) in China: repurposing classic SEO advertorial sites to match AI crawlers' preferences—evidence that AI search still struggles to filter low-quality promotional content.
