I have also been confused for a long time. I used to do website optimization full-time for two years. It was said to be two years, but it was actually less than one year, because it was intermittent and I was often on the verge of giving up and reducing my holdings.
Looking back, the reason why I keep persevering is nothing more than the small success of a few websites, which strengthened my belief. Today I will share some experiences with my friends. I hope that those friends who are not lucky enough for the time being can stick to it. Maybe Victory will be yours.
Achievements are mainly achieved in the early years, when people are more likely to be satisfied, and they will be very happy if they have some achievements. I had just come into contact with SEO at that time, and I was lucky enough to find some skills, and I was lucky enough to build two websites with over 10,000 IP addresses. It's easy to do it again now, but it's definitely not as smooth as it was then.
I don’t know if it started too smoothly, but I felt more and more hesitant as I went on. In early February last year, I purchased an old website, revamped it, put it into operation, and carried out some orthodox optimizations. In the first month, I found that Baidu’s update cycle had been extended from the original 10 days to 30 days. In other words, it turns out that the SEO optimization work you did today can be seen in less than half a month, but now, it will only be seen in the big update of a month.
I had no choice but to make a major revision of the website. Even the framework was rewritten in many places. The next day, I updated the homepage. Fortunately, the revision did not cause my website to lose authority. In the first week of major updates, Only a few hundred pages were released, and then in the next three weeks, all the pages I updated at that time, about 20,000 articles, were released (it can be seen from the page inclusion date that it was three weeks ago). Then, a month later, my website's keyword rankings improved significantly, and the work finally paid off. Let’s talk about what we have done so that our friends can learn from it. The SEO work I did this month was to purchase one to three links every day, make forum topic external links, forum signature external links, website and classified information external links, and update the website every day. OK, seeing that the keywords were ranked, it showed that the old method was still effective. I felt that the old method would still be effective, so I continued to do SEO optimization work in these aspects for the next two months. After two months of optimization work, I have new ideas:
First, the weight of the old domain name of the old website is very high, which makes it more difficult to leverage. This may be directly related to the extension of Baidu’s update cycle. For words with fierce competition (more than 20 websites compete), you may have to do a month or two of optimization work to surpass three or four opponents and only reach the second page. go. Unlike three years ago, after a round of aggressive optimization, under the effect of the new site, you quickly grabbed the front row position on the homepage within a month, leaving the old site behind.
Second, the effectiveness of external links is declining, and search engine algorithms have become more complex. I think this aspect is normal, because now there are piles of website groups. If the external link effect is still strong, the search engine ranking will definitely be messed up.
Third, the weight transfer effect of forum signature links is almost ineffective. Only links posted on forum topics are effective. Regarding this point, I think superstition is very scary. There are tens of thousands of posts in major forums every day, and there must be a lot of people who use signature links. These people have really wasted a lot of their youth. I hope they will really I'm just posting for the sake of communication. At the same time, it should be pointed out that signature links are helpful for brushing the number of external links, but they are only superficial numbers and have little actual meaning.
The Baidu cycle has changed from one week to three weeks or one month. Do you have such a long life to wait? As a full-time entrepreneurial webmaster who has not yet made a profit, from a new website to a small gain, it can take as little as half a year. It can take up to a year, and there is a huge risk. Your website may be demoted at any time due to force majeure factors such as the server being attacked or server network problems. How many months of youth can you give to Baidu?
Some websites that are already making money (that is, your opponents), their websites were built earlier than you, and their domain names have higher weight than yours. If you don’t have too much money, you can’t waste money on optimization, but you can invest. Others can also invest. You invest while losing money, while others invest while making money.
Nowadays, personal websites have become rampant. Under the pressure of early successful studio teams, corporate management portals, early successful personal webmasters, Baidu products, etc., the living space of new webmasters is already very small. Unless you really find a project that suits you well, if you are not too deeply involved now, it is best to get out in time and don’t be superstitious. What I said above is persistence is victory. I say this sentence in the Internet industry. There are indeed many people who are harmed. What I wrote before was unintentionally calculated to cover some people who did not read the article properly. In fact, you have to recognize the road ahead of you, persist when you should persist, and give up in time when you shouldn't persist.
I also have another website that I have been working on for several years with a few technical friends. "Looking for Source Code". This website is mainly a website that provides complete source code for friends who are learning website building knowledge or preparing to start a business. This website It has been in business for several years. Thanks to the love of my friends, many webmasters who often come to A5 often visit it, which makes me feel very happy. I want to tell my friends not to go all the way in one way, but to try more. The road may be good for you.
Those friends who are still confused may still be confused after reading this article of mine. It doesn’t matter. This article is intended to introduce ideas and there is no need to take a seat. I hope it can light up the fluorescent light for you on the way forward, making the whole road no longer so dark.
