Baidu search engine

Does anyone here knows how to get indexed in baidu? Because I tried to submit twice there but my site was still not indexed.

I am not familiar with this site, but I did some looking around and some reasons that others have suggester are as follows:

Hosting in China,
Links from Chinese websites,
Language Characters set to chinese...

I think it is very easy!!! I remember I build 150 different Chinese blogs with posts, You should add keywords links in the posts! So I make one keyword list in the first page of Baidu!! All things will be ok!! If you have any questions for Chinese search engine,Just contact me!!! I am glad to help you resole any problem!!!

You need to have content that is in chinese and does not break any chinese policies.

Then you need to get links from chinese sites to help speed the process of getting indexed.

A good place to start is on a chinese forum.

According to my experience, you need be patient, especially you are hosting the website outside of China. Believe it or not, Baidu prefers China local website.
But if your site has not been indexed by Baidu for over three months since the launching of the website, there should be some problem. You'd better to consult some Chinese webmaster for help!

I have several US business clients that need to be found by customers in China. We've successfully gotten their sites indexed without doing anything special.

Be sure you submit Chinese content pages. We include these two metatags:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="content-language" content="zh" />

There's some good info about SEO for Baidu here:

Dear OK0510,

Thank you for offering your help. I have a few questions. I have a e-commerce site that sells health products. I got very little traffic. One day, I discovered from my googleanalytics that I was receiving 6,000 unique visitors per day coming to my site. I was told thata hacker hijacked my site either to do mischief or punish Biadu and the other Chinese search engines because the visitors were being forcibly directed to my site when they were trying to access Biadu . After a week, the problem was resolved but I still get over 1,000 unique visitors per day, 80 percent from Biadu and the other Chinese search engines and 20% from direct traffic (people bookmarking my site and returning repeatedly--I have a really good group of RSS feeds that keeps people coming back). (I assume that I received a residual benefit from this "hijacking" since it seems that Biadu is giving my site much more weight and prominence in their indexing? Is this true? My problem, however, is that I am having trouble identifying what key words people are typing into Biadu's search box in order to get to my site through the SERP's that come up. I need to know what those keywords are. Do you have any methods that I could use to discover this information. Also, is there a way that I can find out how high I rank on Biadu?
One last problem is that I my site (and ISP) is hosted with Godaddy.com since I used their site builder program to create my site. The problem is that this site builder template does not support Chinese characters so that I have to insert JPG images on the page (which contain the Chinese characters). I do not believe that Biadu can read text within graphic images. So I am worried that I cannot create content on my site that will continue to give me "value" in Biadu's eyes. Do you have any solutions for how I can get around this issue? Can I migrate my ISP to another host company (maybe a Chinese one) or must my ISP and URL (domain name?) stay with godaddy because it is situated on the site builder template which is linked to the ISP they assigned to my when I bought the domain name? Lastly, I have offered my Chinese visitors translate.google as a tool to help them translate my English language content including the RSS feeds. The translation is not so good however. Are there any other solutions to translating my site other than hiring a professional company which I imagine would be quite expensive. I so much appreciate your help. I just do not know who to turn to with such specific questions and your advice on these matters would be welcomed with heartfelt gratitude.


Sincerely,
Garrett

I Think your content language is not related in Chinese and also not relevant to china.

never heard of same...but is there not an "Add an URL" button somewhere on that site....?



Jim

I do believe that my content is related to the Chinese consumer. All of my traffic coming to my site are self-selecting in that they either put my key words in the search box (ie., that they are a "baidu referral" or they have previously bookmarked my site. I was wondering if i can find a way to have chinese characters be seen by baidu (my godaddy website builder does not support chinese characters) so I have to create a jpg "image" for all of my chinese text (as a side point, i heard that google just came out with the technology to read text within images--can baidu do the same--i am assuming that they cannot and that people who are coming to my site are plugging english words into the search box.)

getting back to my question--i was told by godaddy host that there is no way to decouple my isp from the sitebuilder program--in other words 'export' away my website while still retaining my excellent traffic--does anyone have any creative technical ideas about how i can maybe do some re-routing or any other procedure so that i can retain my traffic but direct my visitors to a location that has chinese characters in the HTML (so that biadu can read it)

Thanks

i would love to be able to contact ok0510 directly regarding my question, but somehow i am unable for some technical reason (even though i am registered with this chat forum) He seems like an expert in the area of biadu and Chinese SEO and I really want to ask him this question directly, and he may not ever return to this thread. Can anyone help me?

Baidu.com does index English web pages as well as Chinese web pages. It does tend to somehow index Chinese web sites (with proper Chinese content / characters) quicker than other languages.

Try to get some Chinese sites that are already in Baidu's index to link to your site. This way, your site will get indexed quicker.

Baidu is all about link quantity unlike Google who look at quantity, quality and relevancy.

You first need to understand your users, i.e., Baidu is heavily used for entertainment / MP3 searches. Google on the other hand whilst only having aorund 25% market share is used by the more educated Chinese users for technical searches.

If you sell "technical products" then you might not want to just spam loads of links everywhere because it could bring down your relevancy and quality scores in Googles eyes.

I wrote a blog post recently about China search and Baidu if you're interested. I can't insert the link yet because im a new user but just navigate to my website and view my blog. I think its about 5 posts down.
