To Get Baidu Organic Results, Do and Redo SEO audits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Auditing your website means you closely examine your overall site performance to discover why you\u2019re not getting enough search traffic, any bugs that need fixing as well as optimize the content you already have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-check-with-web-hosting-speed-matter\">#1 Check with Web Hosting (speed matter)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Domain Name: Baidu prefers domains that use .cn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hosting: Baidu wants your site to be hosted in China. However, you can also host your website in Hongkong or Singapore to ensure the loading speed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Physical Address: Baidu favors sites that have a physical presence in China. This doesn&#8217;t mean you need to set up an office in China. Just make sure that you have local Chinese contact details on your site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Censorship: The Chinese government enforces a strict censorship regime for all online activities in China.

Write long and detailed blogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Content length isn\u2019t everything. A shorter blog post that\u2019s higher quality will still outperform a longer, low-quality post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a&nbsp;key benefit of longer content is that it will naturally contain more relevant keywords and rank for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, if you can cover one topic in detail that every part of the post is useful, then you provide a lot of value to your readers, consequently making it more valuable to Baidu and increasing its ranking result on SERP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistently publishing informative content will yield big returns in organic search traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-post-valuable-content-on-other-popular-platforms\"><strong>7. Post valuable content on other popular platforms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your blog is new, it can be difficult to rank well in Baidu search results for high-volume keywords because your Domain Authority and Page Authority are still very low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can use other popular platforms to gain credibility and traffic. A few examples are Toutiao, Zhihu, Baidu Zhidao, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These sites give you the opportunity to improve your search rankings, as well as build a following, within a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to include a link to your landing page for the topics\/ answers you post on these platforms, but in a natural and sensible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The links that come from these sites will boost your search rankings. This is also a great way to get more leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-use-advanced-seo-internal-deep-linking\">8. Use advanced SEO internal deep linking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep linking is the practice of using anchor text to link to other pages inside your blog. This shows Baidu the depth of your site\u2019s pages and encourages it to index more of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your older blog posts and landing pages that used to provide immense value on relevant topics can pull in a lot of new traffic. You should link to them often to help build the structure of your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your content is properly linked to each other, it helps the Baidu spider see all your content in an organized way, like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you start interlinking pages other than your homepage, you\u2019ll improve the SEO value for those internal pages and improve their search rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-send-link-juice-to-lower-ranked-pages\">9. Send link juice to lower ranked pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a page that\u2019s currently on page 2 or 3 of Baidu search results, you can help move it up to page 1 by passing on quality link juice to those lower-ranked pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Link juice refers to outbound links from high authority sources to your content. Since those links are coming from high authority websites or pages, this gives Baidu an indication that your content must be high quality too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Update the post by adding new links, content, and recent data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share it across social media again.

Find and use your competitors\u2019 SEO keywords <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Researching your competitors is a smart move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can spy on the exact keywords that they\u2019re ranking for and use those same keywords to create better content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you have your content ready, contact the sites and blogs that have linked to your competitor\u2019s article and tell them about your article. Chances are if they linked to your competitors&#8217; articles, they\u2019ll link to yours as well, sending additional referral traffic and SEO juice to your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-gain-more-spaces-on-baidu-serps-with-rich-snippets\"><strong>11. Gain more spaces on Baidu SERPs with rich snippets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First thing first, you need to understand what an organic SERP on Baidu looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"866\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/baidu-serp.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/baidu-serp.png 866w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/baidu-serp-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/baidu-serp-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Like the example above, the SERP displays a variety of related (and sometimes paid) results on the right and a mixture of other types of paid results as well as some organic results on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noticeable here is the extent to which Baidu incorporates its own products into the SERP. In fact, it is estimated that around 30% of Baidu queries are redirected to one of Baidu\u2019s own products. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baidu.com\/more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here<\/a> for all Baidu products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, SEO for Baidu is not only about on-page and off-page but needs a real strategy to optimize for these snippets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses that understand this will have a huge advantage because they\u2019ll control a very large percentage of the first-page space on Baidu\u2019s SERPs. This not only improves visibility but also gives Chinese people a strong sense of confidence in your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, another great benefit of using Baidu\u2019s own content platforms for SEO purposes is that there\u2019s no wait for your content to get indexed. Post it to Baidu\u2019s content networks and it can be found by web users almost immediately. Indexing content on your own website, on the other hand, is a considerably longer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baidu owns a wide range of products that we couldn&#8217;t cover all. Instead, we would like to discuss the 3 most powerful ones that can influence dramatically your chance to appear on top positions on top result pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Baike \u767e\u79d1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/BAIKE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/BAIKE.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/BAIKE-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/BAIKE-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/BAIKE-600x271.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'segoe ui', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'helvetica neue', sans-serif;\">Baidu Baike, otherwise known as \u201cBaidu Encyclopaedia\u201d is China\u2019s answer to Wikipedia.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'segoe ui', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'helvetica neue', sans-serif;\">A typical Baidu search query will often display around two Baike results with sub-links to related articles on the very first SERP. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'segoe ui', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'helvetica neue', sans-serif;\">Therefore, you should create and upload brand or product-related articles on Baidu Baike so that when users search for relevant keywords, Baidu Baike can bring them up.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is helpful considering the great priority Baidu gives to its own sub-products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Zhidao \u77e5\u9053<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cleaning-products-baidu-zhidao.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cleaning-products-baidu-zhidao.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cleaning-products-baidu-zhidao-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cleaning-products-baidu-zhidao-768x527.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Baidu Zhidao, or \u201cBaidu Knows\u201d, is a massive Q&amp;A platform that essentially serves as an enhanced Yahoo Answers, allowing users to create and participate in any topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given a high tendency for Chinese users to search using long-tail, query-based phrases, as well as a general overall prominence in the SERP, your appearance on Zhidao, can give you a lot more chances to appear in front of users&#8217; eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to utilize Zhidao for Baidu SEO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optimize your brand\u2019s Baidu account so it\u2019s as branded and official-looking as can be, and offer up well-informed, credible answers to users who are asking questions related to your brand or its products.
