I believe everyone knows that when Baidu indexes your website’s pages, the first step is to let Baidu spiders crawl your website. Only by making Baidu spiders like crawling your website, will your website’s indexing naturally increase. Below, Chongqing Chengyuqing Network Technology Co., Ltd. has compiled 10 very applicable techniques to attract Baidu spiders to crawl.
2. Keeping a website updated means that a high weight website has authority, and Baidu spiders are definitely treated differently. The frequency of crawling is relatively high, and the higher the weight of the website, the deeper it will be crawled, resulting in more pages that can be crawled. In this way, spiders will also crawl to our own website along with friendship links, so when changing friendship links, try to switch to high weight sites as much as possible.
Spiders store page data every time they crawl. If the second crawl finds that the page is exactly the same as the first one, it means that the page has not been updated, and the spider does not need to crawl frequently. If the page content is updated frequently, spiders will visit the page more frequently. Regularly update articles, so that spiders can effectively crawl according to your patterns. This not only allows your updated articles to be crawled faster, but also prevents spiders from frequently running around in vain. Also, remember to proactively submit the link after the update.
3. Originality of the article
The allure of high-quality original content for Baidu spiders is enormous. The purpose of spiders is to search for new things, so website updates should not be collected or reposted every day. We need to provide spiders with truly valuable original content. If spiders can find something they like, they will naturally have a good impression of your website and come to search for it regularly.
4. Recommended homepage
The homepage is the page with the most spider visits and the highest website weight. You can set up an update section on the homepage, which not only updates the homepage and promotes spider visits, but also enhances the crawling and indexing of updated pages. Similarly, this operation can also be performed on the column page.
5. Flatten website structure
Spider crawling also has its own path. You should lay out the path for it before, and the website structure should not be too complicated. The link hierarchy should not be too deep, usually three layers are enough. If the link hierarchy is too deep, it is difficult for spiders to crawl the following pages.
7. Building a website map: Spiders crawl along with links, so optimizing internal links can help spiders crawl more pages and promote website indexing. In the process of building internal links, it is necessary to provide users with reasonable recommendations. In addition to adding anchor text in the article, relevant recommendations, popular articles, and more likes can be set up. This is what many websites are using to allow spiders to crawl a larger range of pages.
Search engine spiders love website maps very much. A website map is a container for all the links on a website. Many websites have deep links that are difficult for spiders to crawl. A website map can facilitate search engine spiders to crawl website pages. By crawling website pages, one can have a clear understanding of the website’s architecture. Therefore, building a website map not only improves crawling rates but also gives spiders a good impression.
8. Check for dead links and set up a 404 page
Search engine spiders crawl searches through links. If too many links cannot be reached, not only will the number of indexed pages decrease, but your website’s weight in search engines will also be greatly reduced. When encountering dead links, spiders feel like they have entered a dead end and have to turn back and start over, greatly reducing their crawling efficiency on the website. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check for dead links on the website, submit them to search engines, and also prepare the website’s 404 page to inform search engines of error pages.
9. Check the robots file
Many websites intentionally or unintentionally block Baidu or certain pages in their robots files, but they keep looking for reasons why spiders don’t crawl my pages. Can Baidu be blamed for this? How did Baidu index your webpage when you didn’t even let anyone in? So it is necessary to regularly check if the website’s robots files are working properly.
10. Monitor the crawling of spiders
By using website logs to monitor which pages spiders are crawling and which pages they have crawled, and by using webmaster tools to view the spider’s crawling speed, resources can be allocated reasonably to achieve higher crawling speed and attract more spiders. To obtain more indexing on a website, it is necessary to do a good job in crawling and optimizing search engine spiders. Website optimization is not something that can be done overnight, and patiently doing basic work is the foundation of website optimization
