Baidu has been on the market for some time. I feel that Baidu has changed a lot since its launch.
The original Baidu gave me the impression that updates are slow, and sometimes may not be updated once every six months. Many webpages that have expired for nearly one year are still included, the indexing of the new site does not take two or three months. At that time, I was wondering whether such a search engine would be obsolete sooner or later. It is widely said that Baidu's anti-cheating technology is too poor, so it has to slow down the indexing speed and reduce the interference of cheating. At that time, Baidu handled fraud mainly by work.
Another major characteristic of Baidu is that, once your website is ranked first for a long time, it will be downgraded regardless of whether you do not cheat. Downgrading is indeed a highly risky move and the ranking is gone, you can still find no conclusive evidence or Baidu theory. People can say with confidence that our rules have been adjusted, so you have dropped. For example, if you enter "Chinese search engine Research Network" on Baidu, you cannot find this site. On the contrary, you can find many unrelated websites, I can cite thousands of such examples.
The biggest change after Baidu went public was the indexing speed. Generally, new sites can be indexed in about a week, and sub-pages can be indexed very quickly, which was unimaginable in the past, it would be nice to include the homepage. The subpage should look at Baidu's mood. There are several items that can be included.
Maybe Baidu's capital strength has increased after going public. You can buy more high-quality servers or recruit more technical talents. But in any case, we are happy with the improvement of Baidu. After all, this is the search engine of Chinese people.
I sincerely hope that Baidu can open its mind and truly make search engines a fairly fair network tool, not just a tool for making money by enterprises.
