The Money Plant<\/h2>\n
Baidu<\/a> developed \u00ab\u00a0Money Plant algorithm\u00a0\u00bb and updated it lately as an anti-cheating algorithm that discover and punish hyper-links business both selling and buying as well as other ways of hyper links cheating.<\/p>\n Many SEOers look at it as if it was a Chinese version of Google panda. \u00ab\u00a0Money Plant\u00a0\u00bb is supposed to show how it \u00ab\u00a0purify\u00a0\u00bb the content of Baidu. Thus it is an algorithm that gives a death penalty to link farms, sites with cheating links, link trading sites and the links on it. It is basically a tailor made algorithm for \u00ab\u00a0black hat Baidu SEOers\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As soon as a site is regarded as a cheater, which means it uses spam links and low quality content, Baidu punishes it by different ways which will cost webmasters longer time and more effort to recover from it\u00a0:<\/p>\n However, those bureaucratic explanation are only what Baidu is expressing publicly. The reality is not exactly the same. Two words have to be understood\u00a0: link and quality. So what is the definition of link problem and low quality content by Baidu.<\/p>\n Baidu punishes certain type of links. The links on forum, blogs, big website are safe but as soon as it is highly spammy links, the punishment can be harsh. Therefore, you should avoid hidden anchor text and links, anchor text irrelevant to the topic of the page, deceiving jump, redirect, doorway pages for black SEO and automatic spamming link.<\/p>\n What you need to know is the importance of the website optimization. Website that rely on external links have mostly lost their position but not all of them. Those last site use more basic and common SEO methods such as building backlinks, especially purchasing friendly link, and blogroll links. More over, links in comments that support blog are not punished even if they are links purely and obviously reserved for optimized page. For example, a page with 10 links from one blog to it everyday can have a better position than others.<\/p>\n On the contrary, sites that focuses on the optimization don\u2019t decrease and many of them got better positions. For instance, Baidu always emphasizes that those purchased links, especially those links from portals and local media sites, will get punished. It is not always relevant. Now, portals like Sohu<\/a>, Sina<\/a>, qq<\/a>, netease and media sites such as Pclady begin to refuse advertorial publications and delete previous advertorials. Regarding the ROI though, it is much worse than before.<\/p>\nA new upgrade<\/h3>\n
