February 23, 2010, an unforgettable day for Chinese webmasters! The emergence of a new registration policy that had no choice but to do so: the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology resumed personal application for websites, requiring identity verification and on-site photography. This topic quickly spread in the webmaster community. I surveyed various webmaster forums and concluded that 90% of webmasters chose not to go to the scene to take photos and record them, and only 10% of webmasters were willing to follow the policies of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
The move by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to resume individual applications for websites can be said to be very satisfying! However, the provision that “the person in charge of the website needs to be collected at the registration site with a color frontal bareheaded photo” has made many grassroots webmasters worried about this. It seems that on-site photography is a very humane management system, but why do so many webmasters think it is useless? I searched for some relevant information and expressed the sorrow of many webmasters:
1. The part-time webmaster went on vacation to take pictures and had no income for a month.
Going to IDC to take pictures will undoubtedly require a few days of vacation. For white-collar workers, taking a vacation means deducting money. Taking a long vacation (from Guangdong to Beijing to go through the formalities, which takes at least a week) means no income for a month. The money deducted for a long vacation is equivalent to a month without any salary bonus. Who dares to ask for this leave?
2. Full-time webmasters suffer huge intangible losses
The competition in the webmaster industry is fierce. If you go out for a few days and the website is not updated, Baidu Snapshot will retreat and the traffic will decrease accordingly. If the traffic is less, the economic income will decrease. In addition, the distance is long and the round-trip tickets are quite expensive. For individual webmasters, this will result in an invisible loss of money.
3. Outdated policies are inconsistent with human principles
The webmaster of Together Entrepreneurship Network ( www.go7go.cn ) bluntly said: This on-site photography system is so outdated that it is like applying for a second-generation ID card! Today, with the Internet being so developed, this system really worries the webmaster.
If the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology insists on this approach, tens of thousands of webmasters will inevitably lose their jobs, and more problems will follow. You can look at foreign countries and find that this has never happened. It can be said that with the development of China’s Internet today, there will be no more problems. Don’t take credit for the individual webmaster!
