How to avoid the Seven Circles of Baidu Hell

Posted in: October 2011, Blogs

Keeping your site in Baidu’s index and out of the fire

It has long been supposed that CTR was by far the most dominant factor, but Google has recently announced that they are to be placing increased weight on Landing Page Quality, and Keyword Relevance.
