Column setting is
the first step to build the "skeleton" of the website: planning first. The column setting of the website is the most important step at the beginning of building the website, because once the columns are determined, the positioning of the website will basically take shape. If it is modified after a period of operation, it will cause losses in many aspects, such as loss of target visitors, search results, etc. Engine weight reduction, etc. Therefore, you must think carefully when establishing a website column, plan it first, and then add it.
Step 2: Do more research. After determining the column you want to add, you must first check whether this type of column is popular with netizens. Think about it, if you create a column and maintain it and update it every day, but no one cares about it due to positioning deviation, isn't it a waste of time? ?To understand the hobbies of visitors, the first way is to examine other similar websites to get inspiration. In addition, you can also gain attention in a certain field through the search engine rankings to determine the positioning of the column. For example, Baidu's Top Ranking is a good tool (Figure 1).
Step 3: Establish positioning. The same field will also have different column positioning. For example, if you are going to make a column about notebook information, are you going to introduce the latest information about the notebook industry, provide notebook software downloads, or provide notebook shopping guide services? The positioning of the column should also be determined. Pay attention to the unity with the website. For example, the example in this article is an IT information website, and the positioning is news content about notebooks.
Cleverly use collection to quickly collect website content.
Websites often lack articles in the early stages of establishment. Without content, it is impossible to retain visitors. To quickly obtain high-quality content, we can reprint it from other websites. Here we take Shudong Connection as an example to quickly repost the above article to our own website. "Locomotive Collector" is a convenient and practical content collection program that supports collection of remote articles and pictures. Below we will use this software as an example to illustrate.
Tips: Since the software is based on the .NET program architecture, the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 component must be installed before use, otherwise the program will not run properly.
Step 1: Create site addition rules.
Download the software and unzip it to use it. Right-click in the task list panel to create a new collection site, and then enter the name, URL and other information of the site in the pop-up new site window. Then switch to the "Whole Site Content Rules" page of the software, which is the most important step in the collection. Errors may occur if the settings are slightly incorrect. For general article transfer, we need to fill in basic information including title, content, and time (Figure 2).
To determine the content rules of a web page, you can open the content page that needs to be collected, select "View → Source Code" in the browser to view the HTML code of the web page, and look for the title field in the code. If the title start tag is, then in the tag of the software Enter these two fields into the edit box. Then search and add tags such as article content, author, source, time, etc. in the same way. Generally, we need to check multiple article pages to avoid tag errors.
If you need to collect other information from the web page at the same time, you can click the "Add Tag" button to add collection objects. The software not only supports data acquisition through collection, but can also set data in a fixed format.
Tip: You may find it difficult to add data rules for the first time, but as long as you try a few times and carefully read the software documentation, you can easily write data rules after understanding the principles.
Step 2: Create a collection task.
Right-click on the site name you just added and select the "New task from this site" option. The collection URL menu will appear. The software provides three URL collection modes. If the target website has a corresponding article list page, you can use the "level 1 link" method. The principle of this method is to automatically detect the content page through the content list page, thereby collecting web content. .
If the name of the target URL file has a certain pattern, we can also directly add the URL of the content page that needs to be collected. Here we take the news information column of Shudong Link as an example to illustrate http://news.shudoo.com/. Its list page is http://news.shudoo.com/index.php?limitstart=16. We will You can enter this address directly.
After the task is added, you can test it first. Click the "Start test URL collection" button at the bottom right of the software to enter the test page. The software will collect according to the URL rules just filled in. After the address search is completed, you can select any article for testing. If the software can display the content of the collected page normally, the collection rules are set successfully; if the content cannot be displayed, the rules need to be set again (Figure 3).
Step 3: Collect and publish content
After completing the above steps, you also need to set the publishing method of the collected content. The software currently provides a variety of content publishing methods. It can be published directly to the website program or saved as a local file. If you want to publish directly to a website program, you need a corresponding program publishing module. The software comes with several program modules, including most popular article systems. If there is no module we need, we can go to the official software forum to find it.
After the settings are completed, you can collect articles and publish them to the website. Select the name of the website that needs to be collected in the main panel of the software, and then click the start button at the top of the panel. The software will automatically collect the content. If there is a lot of content to be collected, you will need to wait for a long time. After all articles are collected, the content will be automatically published. http://it.endto.com/hulianwang-news/ is a demonstration example we collected through the locomotive software.

Note: Although collection software can easily obtain a large number of articles, you must pay attention to copyright when using it, and indicate the source of some articles that are allowed to be reprinted.
