What grades can online business information be divided into?

Different online business information has different use value (utility) for different users. Judging from the overall price level of online business information itself, it can be roughly divided into four grades:

Level 1: Free business information

This information is mainly social welfare information. Information of universal service significance to society and people only accounts for about 5% of the data in the database. This kind of information is mainly user-friendly information introduced by some information service providers in order to expand their influence and get returns from social benefits, such as free online software and real-time stock market information.

Level 2: Low Charge Information

This information belongs to general information. Because this kind of information is easy to collect, process, sort out and update, and it costs less, so it is more popular information. This kind of information accounts for about 10-20% of the data in the database, and only charges basic service fees without pursuing profits, such as full-text retrieval information of general articles. On the one hand, information service providers promote this kind of information to reflect the universal service significance of society, and on the other hand, to improve their competitiveness and market share.

Level 3: Information charged with standard information fee.

Belonging to knowledge and economic information, the charging standard is cost plus profit. The collection, processing, sorting and updating of this kind of information is complicated and needs certain funds. At the same time, the use value of information is high and the services provided are deep. This kind of information accounts for about 60% of the data in the database, which is the main service scope of information service providers. Most business information on the Internet falls into this category.

The fourth level: high quality and good price information.

This kind of information is special information with high use value, such as important market trend analysis, online best-selling commodity survey, new product and technology information, patented technology and other unique and special information. It is the most expensive information in the information base, which can provide users with deeper services. Once a piece of high-value information is adopted by users, it will bring higher profits to enterprises and greater benefits to users.
