When it comes to the term "Baidu Olympic Valley" (百奥谷), one cannot help but mention the once-a-year SEO competition. And when mentioning the SEO competition, how can we not bring up Qiu Shida!
Who is Qiu Shida? If you don't know him yet, you're a bit out of touch. He's a grassroots webmaster from China! We won’t go into much detail here, but I'll leave his site URL: www.caogen.cc.
Now, let’s get back on topic about Baidu Olympic Valley.
So where does the term "Baidu Olympic Valley" come from? The term originates from China Webmaster Network. On April 8, 2008, at 11 PM and XX minutes, the editorial assistant responsible for the webmaster network, Mr. Daniao, announced the keyword for this year's SEO competition as "Baidu Olympic Valley."
The official explanation from China Webmaster Network for the keyword “Baidu Olympic Valley” is as follows: "Baidu Olympic Valley" (Baidu + Olympics + Google).
This year is the Olympic year, Baidu is China's top search engine, while Google ranks first in the world and second in China. SEO professionals rely on search engines for their livelihood, and with the Olympics happening this year...
Thus, "Baidu Olympic Valley" was born in Mr. Daniao's mind. Creating a word isn't easy, and creating an impressive word is even harder!
Why was "Baidu Olympic Valley" created? I probably don't need to explain too much here. But for those who want to hear more, I'll elaborate briefly.
"Baidu Olympic Valley" was created specifically for this SEO competition and has no other meaning. Some SEOers may have noticed that there is an "Olympic Valley Group" on the right side of Baidu, which aims to create a valley of happiness in life. However, what exactly it represents remains unclear. While "Baidu Olympic Valley" doesn't possess direct commercial value, it does hold promotional value.
Nevertheless, building a website about Olympic sports seems like a pretty good idea, huh?
