The duplicate content is not penalized by Baidu, but I still recommend you to have pages offering interesting and unique content ( as do copy / paste without added value for everyone ) . Baidu Webmaster ToolsBaidu Webmaster Tools (百度 站长 平台) is equivalent with Google Webmaster Tools , I find even more features . To use tools such as Baidu robots.txt generator , the optimization of web pages (页面 优化 建议) tool , it is not required to have an account . Can generate free robots.txt optimized for Chinese search engines such as Baidu , 360, etc. . without making mistakes ! :)
There is a test that I realized via the article:
Baidu Robots
Tests Currently all tools are Baidu in Chinese. The barrier of the Chinese language can be a barrier for many, but as these are technical terms and short ( usually April to June characters ), I think that Google Translate can help you . SEO best practices offered by Baidu
In tools Baidu Webmaster Tools, there is a feature I love ! This optimization is the web pages tool . You give a web page to the tool, and it tells you all the places that need to be better optimize ... and where you 've done your SEO work ! Baidu mismanaging 301s , and must do as little as possible. source
Analyze on Moz
The address http://www.moz.com does a redirect on http://moz.com . Baidu says that as a technical problem when it is not really .
MOZ should also reduce the JavaScript code on the page and put the codes JS remaining at the end of the HTML page.
For the rest, MOZ was all good :) according to Baidu No Flash , no Frame, URL clean, well written meta tags , etc. . But as you can see , even MOZ not a perfect web page . The key is to fully optimize , and never give up.
Those are my main recommendations for Chinese SEO . I am constantly learning and discovery , and if I find more tips , I will not delay me to share with you.
