This afternoon (June 8), several people asked me on QQ about "Baidu will stop the punishment photos on the 5.22 website". When Jiang Likun heard this news, he also ate a pound of computers. This is a major matter related to the life and death of Chinese websites. If the situation is true, the Internet world that has been silent for a hundred years will surely set off another bloody storm. In front of Jiang Likun's eyes, he seemed to have seen webmasters from all over the country snotting and crying in front of the portrait of his website. Oh, MY God, Tathagata, Amen and so on, I hope this news is not true.
In order to verify the authenticity of the news, Jiang Likun immediately rushed to various groups to inquire about the news. There is also a lot of quarrel in various groups, and everyone is studying whether their own website will be punished. And Jiang Likun also learned the ins and outs of the whole thing from their conversation. This news first came from a news article by Admin5, which was later reprinted by major related forums. The following is the full text of the original article:
"News on June 7, according to Baidu developers. Recently, Baidu will conduct a large-scale update of Baidu search business, and the new Baidu ranking rules will be more conducive to user experience. Regarding the ranking algorithm that webmasters are more concerned about, the person said , the new algorithm will be integrated with Baidu’s self-developed intelligent identification system. Illegal external links, forum signatures, etc. will only be included in the statistics of external links and the penalties for SEO violations will be increased. Websites whose snapshots stay at 5.22 will be included in the first batch of Baidu. Among the targets of punishment are well-known websites such as the NBA. The person did not respond to questions about whether the bidding rankings, which are more prominent among netizens, will be adjusted. The person did not give an estimate of how long it will take in the "near future" raised by the reporter. Provide a specific timetable.
In order to cooperate with this adjustment, Baidu will also launch a large-scale advertising video. But Baidu pointed out that it is not targeting Google and the newly launched Bing search engine.
According to my personal inspection, many well-known domestic sites also have snapshot rollback problems. The list is as follows:
NetEase (163 home page): Baidu snapshot date: 2009-5-29
Entrepreneurship and wealth network (98178): Baidu snapshot date: 2009-5-22
Entrepreneurship Opportunities Network (78) Baidu Snapshot Date: 2009-5-22
Zhulang Novel Network: Baidu Snapshot Date: 2009-5-29
Financial Industry (jrj): Baidu Snapshot Date: 2009-5-22
Agricultural Bank of China (abchina.com): Baidu snapshot date: 2009-5-22
China Sports Lottery Network (lottery): Baidu Snapshot Date: 2009-5-29
There are many more well-known sites...”

With a pragmatic attitude, Jiang Likun conducted research and verification on this news, and finally determined that this news was fake news.
1. As news, it is extremely unprofessional
In this article, the word reporter appears, indicating that a reporter wrote this article after interviewing it. But looking at the full text, it is full of loopholes, and it was obviously not written by a professional reporter. For example, the title: "Baidu will make a large-scale update to its search business in the near future." There is a problem with the use of words here. I have only heard of "adjustment business" but not of "update business".
2. It is impossible for Baidu to disclose this kind of information to unknown reporters
Jiang Likun searched the Internet and found that this news was first posted in the "Search & SEO" column of Admin5 Webmaster Network in the form of a netizen contribution at 9:28 on June 8, 2009 by a netizen with the ID "cdhoo". Just imagine, if it was Baidu's official news, would a reporter publish it in a non-news column in the form of a netizen contribution in this way? And it would only be posted in this one place.
3. The news delivery person is the new vest
I checked the ID "cdhoo" and found that only this article was published on Admin5. It was obviously a vest.
4. Baidu people claim they don’t know about this matter
Jiang Likun asked a friend who worked at Baidu, and the other party said he didn't know about it. (It may also be because you are not in the relevant department, or the information is too confidential)
5. The article is suspected of being soft.
Regarding the so-called "domestic well-known sites" listed by the author at the end, I found that "Entrepreneurship and Getting Rich Network (98178)" is a new site with no ranking at all, let alone well-known. Therefore, Jiang Likun suspects that this article is completely a soft article that uses hot events to create hype.
To sum up, Jiang Likun believes that this news is fake news and is a soft article to promote the website. Even if Baidu really wants to make large-scale adjustments recently, I still don't believe that it will be disclosed to users in this way. The purpose of writing this article is because the impact of this matter is too great. It is estimated that many people will not be able to sleep tonight, so I will make an objective analysis here, hoping that everyone will not blindly listen to rumors and sleep well. Sleep. Finally, please note that this article only represents Jiang Likun’s personal views and is not Baidu’s official statement.
