Ocean Engine

Ocean Engine appears in 头腾大战八年后，再把字节和腾讯在各个战场上的竞争逐一拆开｜字节跳动 第6集 as ByteDance’s unified advertising system. The episode says ByteDance integrated Toutiao, Douyin, Xigua, Huoshan, and other traffic into Ocean Engine in 2019, creating a more unified buying and optimization surface.

The source uses Ocean Engine to explain why ByteDance’s domestic advertising revenue could pass and then greatly exceed Tencent’s. The key claim is structural: unified traffic, recommendation data, conversion measurement, and advertiser workflow can compound faster than scattered product-level monetization.

全面压制，不留空档：字节跳动如何做增长？｜字节跳动 第7集 adds the internal-demand side: 徐鸿亮 / Tom says ByteDance EUG became a major buyer of internal traffic after 2020, with “亲兄弟明算账” accounting and strict internal rebates. The source links Ocean Engine to self-attribution, internal traffic allocation, and distinctions among new, reactivated, reinstalled, silent, and device-changed users.
