I have a website that crawling by Baidu Bot every day and it has been a month. It tooks about 200-300mb bandwidth perday. But when i tried to search my page indexed in baidu (site:myweb.com), there's only 3 pages indexed. Should i ban Baidu bot spider? or maybe it took more times to get indexed?
Actually, I've increased the number of visitors from China, among other non-primarily-English-speaking countries. With that, I've also received some backlinks, assuming they liked the content. I posted about how to submit to Baidu (see next to my Avatar above).
I have few blogs which are indeed by Baidu because I publish few topic related to china and got some traffic also . I think everything is fine if it can give us quality traffic .
If the China market is a target for you, Baidu is important I think. It is basically a Chinese language clone of Google.
