Does Baidu snapshot speed affect website rankings?

Today, with the help of this description on the Baidu webmaster platform, we have sorted out some common misunderstandings about Baidu snapshots and hope to help you better understand Baidu snapshots.

Misunderstanding 1. Baidu snapshots will affect rankings

Many of my friends seem to have a better understanding of Baidu snapshots than their website rankings. For example, to view the SEO status of a friend's website, they will first check whether his snapshots are new or not. When they exchange links, websites that lag behind for more than a week are not exchanged. There are also many tragedies and jokes caused by Baidu snapshot updates, which will not be described here. In fact, if you have a deep understanding of the definition of Baidu snapshot, this will not happen.

Baidu snapshot allows you to open a search result page, or open a page with a particularly slow speed, a faster Baidu access link page, this link is a plain text backup page saved on the database when Baidu crawls and includes this search result page. The key to not updating snapshot updates is whether the search engine has re-captured the page and whether the plain text backup page has been updated.

Baidu's "several instructions on Baidu snapshot issues" mentions that baiduspider constantly checks whether new webpages are generated based on the frequency of updates to its website content. Generally, the crawling frequency of baiduspdepends on the speed at which new content is generated on the website. Therefore, as long as the webpage content is updated at a stable frequency and the plain text backup page saved by Baidu is different, the webpage snapshot will certainly be updated, it has a lot to do with the importance and timeliness of content updates on your webpage, and has little to do with the ranking and weight of your website.

The ranking of websites is related to many factors. A good ranking requires good website content and content to be valuable to users and requires adequate link support, this includes the on-site and off-site links. Baidu snapshots are only an intermediate process in indexing and sorting by search engines, and do not affect website rankings.

Misunderstanding 2: Baidu snapshots are not updated, so links do not work.

When you exchange links, many friends pay close attention to the links of each other. Because Baidu snapshots are not updated, the search engine does not include these links, therefore, the transfer of weights cannot be generated. In fact, this recognition is wrong. Search engine spider has certain conditions to crawl webpages and create indexes to store them. If no value content is updated during the crawling process, the search engine crawlers will not create indexes, that is, they will not update the plain text backup page information stored in the database, so snapshots will naturally not be updated, however, this does not mean that the search engine spider did not capture your link and add it to the link weight analysis.

Some friends may encounter similar situations, but they don't have to worry about it. For example, if a friend has a long homepage and the data displayed in the snapshot is incomplete, the link module of the website is not displayed, at this time, we will doubt whether the website can help to transmit weights. Here, you don't have to worry about crawling the search engine, as long as you are sure that the website will not use cheating friend links. Of course, if you are really worried about it, you just need to stay away from these websites.

Misunderstanding 3: Baidu snapshot is stuck or regressed, and the weight of the website is reduced

Baidu mentioned in the description that a snapshot of an important web page often stores multiple web page snapshots in the search engine database. These snapshots are captured at different times. In some special cases, the search engine system may select a snapshot version different from the snapshot version in the current search results, resulting in snapshot time regressing. This is not because the search engine has downgraded the website. I hate Baidu's official answers most of the time, and often tell you a vague concept. For example, in some very special cases mentioned here, in fact, we can give you a few examples. We all say that domestic SEO is a speculative SEO. In fact, there is no lack of it related to Baidu's inaction. The most important feature of website weight reduction is keyword ranking and traffic reduction. If neither of these two points is lowered, the weight of the website will not be affected.
