Correctly identify Baidu Spider (1). On Linux, you can use the host ip command to reverse the ip address to determine whether it is captured by Baiduspider. Baiduspider's hostname is in the format of *.baidu.com or *.baidu.jp. Anything other than *.baidu.com or *.baidu.jp is an impersonation.

(2) On Windows or IBM OS/2 platforms, you can use the nslookup ip command to reverse the IP address to determine whether it is captured by Baiduspider. Open the command processor and enter nslookup xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP address) to resolve the IP to determine whether it is captured by Baiduspider.

1. High-authority backlinks

High-weight websites are authoritative and will definitely be treated specially by Baidu spiders. The frequency of crawling will be relatively high. Moreover, the higher the weight of the website, the deeper it will be crawled, and the more pages can be crawled. In this way, spiders will also crawl to our own website through friendly links, so when you change friendly links, try to change to high-authority sites.

2. Keep the website updated

The spider stores the page data every time it crawls. If the second crawl finds that the page is exactly the same as the first included, it means that the page has not been updated and there is no need for the spider to crawl it frequently. The more frequently the page content is updated, the more frequently spiders will visit the page. Update your articles regularly so that spiders can crawl them effectively according to your rules. This will not only allow your updated articles to be crawled faster, but also prevent spiders from making frequent wasted trips. Also, after updating, remember to submit the link actively.

3. Originality of the article

High-quality original content is very attractive to Baidu spiders. The purpose of spiders is to find new things, so the articles updated on the website should not be collected or reprinted every day. We need to give spiders truly valuable original content. If spiders get what they like, they will naturally have a good impression of your website and come here frequently to find food.

4. Home page recommendation

The home page is the page most visited by spiders and also the page with the highest weight on the website. You can set up an update section on the home page. This will not only update the home page and increase the frequency of spider visits, but also promote the crawling and inclusion of updated pages. The same operation can be performed on the column page.
