I saw it on freehao123, it makes sense, so I forwarded it here.
I once read an article that talked about how a person created a blog, updated articles day after day, and finally achieved a high ranking in Baidu, and ultimately obtained revenue from affiliate advertising through the huge traffic brought by Baidu.
What is popular in China now is probably: using WordPress to build a personal blog, then staying up late every day to update articles, checking every morning whether Baidu has added any new entries, and Baidu always updates its rankings “once” every month, and hoping that Baidu can bring more traffic. Finally, get some advertising revenue from the traffic.
Updating your blog, hoping for better rankings, and getting more traffic may be the easiest way to make money blogging, but what the tribe wants to say is that this may be a road of no return. Making money from traffic may be a dead end for original personal blogs. Many times, we are "exhausted" and disappear before we even get out of this "alley".
1. Personal Blog - Confession of Personal Loneliness
1. The premise of making money from traffic is to have enough traffic, and the traffic mainly comes from search engines. In China, don’t even mention Google, as the traffic is basically monopolized by Baidu. The more personal blogs a search engine indexes, the higher the weight, which is likely to bring in more traffic.
2. However, due to limited personal energy, it is quite difficult to update more than 10 articles a day on a personal blog. Compared with websites or blogs that are operated in a team or corporate manner, personal blogs do not seem to be favored by search engines.
3. According to the follow-up visits and observations of the tribe, many bloggers around me are unable to maintain the regularity of updating one article every day (the tribe has not been updated frequently recently). Even for bloggers with very strong execution capabilities, it is difficult to ensure the quantity of articles while ensuring the quality of the articles.
4. Due to personal reasons, a personal blog is destined to be the blogger’s confession, and it is lonely. Perhaps, within a year of my new blog, I will just be “shouting” in my articles.
2. Plagiarism makes original works become the labor force for others’ traffic
1. Many people say that search engines like original articles. If this sentence was said to Google, I might believe it to some extent, but if it was said to Baidu, I would give it a BS look. If original articles want to get traffic on Baidu, in addition to relying on "fellow authors", they also need luck.
2. The so-called "competing for father" refers to whether the weight of the website is sufficient to compete with those portal websites or old websites that have been collected for many years. Many new blogs have no weight at the beginning, and are regarded as “lambs” in the eyes of data collection websites. Often, the articles they publish are not even ranked on the 10th page when searched.
3. Many bloggers will be very angry about this kind of "blatant" plagiarism, and some will even go over to argue with them. But what is the result? There is no benefit except a bruise on the nose. in the country, plagiarism often becomes the norm, and originality becomes a "devious path".
4. The original creators have become the cheapest labor force for plagiarism. This is the "Les Miserables" of grassroots personal blogs.
3. Baidu the word "profit" and you want to eat both meat and soup
1. Let’s take a look at the picture below. This is the search result I can see on my entire computer screen when I search for the keyword “host” in Baidu. (Click to enlarge)
2. From top to bottom, from left to right, there is no item related to the word "host". The entire computer screen has been "occupied" by Baidu's promotional advertisements.
3. Baidu has eaten up all the "meat", so many grassroots webmasters wonder if they can get long-tail keyword rankings from Baidu? Maybe this way we can get a piece of the pie.
4. But the facts have proved that Baidu not only wants to eat all the "meat" but also wants to drink all the "soup". Tieba, Encyclopedia, Experience, etc. are used to drink the soup.
4. Time cost allows webmasters to put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas on the spot
1. The domain name and host of a website are monetary costs. As far as the current situation is concerned, the domain name and host fees of several hundred dollars a year are more than enough, but the most terrible thing is the time cost.
2. Perhaps you are most passionate about making websites when you are a student, updating original articles day and night without any compensation. However, once your interests shift, job recruitment, work family and other factors enter your life, this passion will disappear immediately.
3. Even if one wants to continue to pursue the dream of personal blogging, the huge time cost cannot be equated with the meager income, so most personal bloggers "lay down their butcher knives" and immediately do things that can make more money.
5. Personal + original + blog + traffic + Baidu + making money = dead end! hope?
1. Personal + original + blog + traffic + Baidu + making money = dead end. Bloggers who can use personal blogs to generate traffic and make money are really rare, and most of them are just making things happen for others.
2. Where do you hope to go with your personal original blog? Perhaps personal blogging is doomed to die as if it has been “cursed” by most people. But perhaps personal blogs can be like a small effort to achieve great results, breaking away from the traffic profit model and taking the path of professional marketing.
