Why do independent websites crawl more on Google than on Baidu?

The reasons why independent websites crawl more on Google than on Baidu may involve multiple aspects. Based on search results, Caizhi believes that the following are some possible reasons:

1. Differences in indexing speed and algorithm: There are differences in indexing speed and algorithm between Google and Baidu. Google's spiders (automatic programs of search engines) are relatively diligent, and their indexing time is usually around 4am, while Baidu's spiders are relatively late, possibly in the afternoon or evening. In addition, Google tends to focus on technical content, while Baidu tends to focus more on games, music, leisure life, and so on.

2. Update frequency: Google has a high update frequency, almost every day, which allows new content and updates to be indexed faster. On the contrary, Baidu's update cycle may be longer, resulting in slower indexing speed for new content.

3. Inclusion criteria: Baidu has certain quality requirements for the websites it indexes and will not blindly index all websites. It tends to index content from large sites, while Google tends to index widely, including new sites and small websites.

4. External link quality: Google prefers high-quality external links, and if a website has links from websites with high PR values, Google will index them faster. Baidu has high requirements for content quality, and page similarity cannot be too high, otherwise it may be hidden.

5. Website optimization: For Baidu optimization, including keywords in website titles, continuous original content updates, and increasing related website external links are key factors in improving indexing and ranking. If these aspects are done well, keywords may have good rankings in a short period of time.

6. Market positioning: As a leading global search engine, Google has a wider range of indexing, while Baidu mainly serves the Chinese market and may focus more on Chinese content and the needs of domestic users in indexing and ranking.

7. Economic factors: Some argue that Baidu may have a faster indexing speed for paid content, which may be one reason why Baidu's indexing speed is slower than Google's.

In summary, the differences between Google and Baidu in terms of indexing speed, algorithm preferences, update frequency, indexing standards, etc. have led to the situation where independent websites crawl more on Google than on Baidu. When optimizing a website, these differences should be considered to adapt to the indexing and ranking rules of different search engines.
