Use Baidu Zhidao to increase traffic
Recently, I don't know what wind Baidu is blowing again. The optimization rankings of many small websites have dropped. What are basically pushed to the front are sites like Baidu Tieba, Baidu Zhidao, Baidu Space, Sina iAsk, or a page from a large portal site. Therefore, for the traffic of our website, we must make good use of those websites at the front. Personally, I feel that the effect of Baidu Zhidao is extremely good. However, webmasters who have used it know that there are some tricks involved. Here, I will share my experience with everyone!
1: Answering others' questions on Baidu Zhidao
First, you need to understand the keywords you want to promote, and then search for these keywords in Baidu Zhidao. If there are corresponding questions already present and they haven't been answered yet, then we can immediately answer these questions and add links to our own website, trying to direct traffic as much as possible. This can also allow Baidu Spider to crawl your website in a very short period of time.
2: How to self-ask and self-answer on Baidu Zhidao
In normal circumstances, when a lot of people answer the same question, it will take away our traffic. In this case, we can self-ask and self-answer within Baidu Zhidao. Everyone knows that using the same IP for self-asking and self-answering can easily lead to account bans. So, how do we avoid this issue? Personally, I feel that having one main account on Baidu Zhidao is sufficient. Usually, this account uses the name of the website or the nickname of the administrator, and it mainly answers other people's questions. For our own questions, we can either use the main account or apply for another one (using the main account is generally more convenient). When answering questions, we can switch machines (mainly changing IPs) to answer our own questions. You might ask, what about the account used for answering questions? Generally, good usernames are already registered. So, what should we do? I usually register like this: close my eyes, randomly press keys on the keyboard, and this way, registration is usually successful. This is probably the slightly more difficult part of Baidu Zhidao. After answering questions, whether answering others' questions or self-asking/self-answering, we should always add the website address at the end. We can also write the website name and URL in the reference materials section. However, here it's best not to always write the homepage address because over time, Baidu may block your URL or disallow URLs in answers made from your computer. Generally, the same username cannot consecutively answer more than three questions, otherwise, your answers may not be displayed.
If the keyword you're working on has very high popularity and it's difficult to get it to the first page of Baidu, then at this point, we can use Baidu Zhidao for promotion. Because for such highly popular keywords, the ranking of Baidu Zhidao will definitely be very good, which can bring us traffic. If the keyword you're working on doesn't have much popularity, we can completely optimize our own website to the front. Generally, getting primary keywords and long-tail keywords to the front directly brings traffic to the website. If at this point you still work on Baidu Zhidao, then all our traffic will go to Baidu. Therefore, we must first consider the keywords of the website and then decide whether to use Baidu Zhidao for promotion.
Finally, I would like to remind you not to purely increase your own URL by recklessly answering others' or your own questions. We should seriously answer questions and always put the feelings of readers and user experience first. This not only increases users' friendly impression of the website but also makes search engines like it, which can be considered a win-win situation. Keep going, and the traffic will surely come in waves! I hope this article is helpful to beginners!
