As a website operator who has been dealing with the AnQiCMS content management system for a long time, I fully understand the importance of content creation, publication, and optimization.In today's search engine environment, the timely inclusion of content is crucial for website traffic and visibility.The built-in link push feature of AnQiCMS is designed for this purpose, it can help us actively inform search engines of new content releases, thereby accelerating the indexing process.However, configuring the feature is not enough; we also need an effective method to determine whether the feature has truly been successfully enabled and is functioning.

Understand the importance of link push and the necessity of verification

In AnQiCMS, link promotion is part of its 'Advanced SEO Tools', aiming to promote timely crawling and inclusion of new or updated page links submitted to major search engines.This is invaluable for improving the ranking of the website in search results and ensuring that the latest content can be quickly accessed by users.

As operation staff, we cannot be satisfied with just completing the configuration on the backend, but must verify its validity.A valid verification not only confirms that the functions are operating normally but also helps us to discover and resolve potential configuration issues in a timely manner, thereby avoiding missed opportunities due to failed pushes.

A direct verification method of AnQiCMS backend

AnQiCMS provides a straightforward and efficient backend interface, allowing us to directly view the execution results of the link push.This is the most direct and primary way to determine whether the judgment function is successfully enabled.

You can navigate to the 'Function Management' module in the AnQiCMS backend and then select the 'Link Push' option.On this page, you will see a section named “View Recent Posts Record”.This area will record the status and feedback information of each link push attempt in detail.

When we have configured active push interfaces for different search engines, the system will try to push whenever there is new content published or updated. We should pay close attention to these records:

  • Baidu search主动推送：When you see the push results containsuccesstext, it usually means that the content has been successfully submitted to Baidu. For example, if it shows as{"error":0,"success":1,"not_same_site":0,"not_valid_host":0,"fail":0,"remain":999999,"success_urls":1}, thensuccess:1Indicates that a link was successfully pushed.
  • Bing Search Engine Pushes Proactively:The successful indication for Bing search pushes is seeing something similar to{"d":null}The return result. This indicates that Bing has received your push request.
  • 360/Toutiao and other JS automatic submission:Since these search engines use JavaScript code submission, the push records on AnQiCMS backend usually do not display directlysuccessorerrorStatus.In most cases, the backend will record that the script code has been successfully implanted in the page, or prompt you to paste the obtained JS code into the specified area.The focus of verification will shift to checking whether the website's frontend pages have correctly loaded these JS codes, as well as whether the inclusion of these search engines has improved.

I usually suggest publishing a new test article after completing the link push configuration, and then immediately checking the "recent push records" to confirm that the system can send push requests to search engines in a timely and correct manner.

Cross-verify using external search engine platforms

In addition to the direct feedback from the AnQiCMS backend, we can also log in to the webmaster platforms of various search engines to conduct deeper cross-validation.This not only confirms whether the push has really been received by the search engine, but also allows us to understand the actual inclusion effect.

  • Baidu Search Resource Platform:Although AnQiCMS backend can provide initial feedback, Baidu's API submission data feedback is not real-time, usually it takes until the next day to see the API submission records on Baidu Search Resource Platform.You can log in to the Baidu Search Resource Platform, go to the 'API Submission' page under 'Normal Inclusion', and check for any new submission records.If the AnQiCMS backend shows success but there is no record on the Baidu platform for a long time, it may be necessary to further investigate configuration or network issues.
  • Bing Webmaster Tools:Bing provides a more real-time feedback mechanism.You can log in to Bing Webmaster Tools, go to the "URL Submission" or "IndexNow" related pages, and view the list of submitted links and their status.{"d":null}The Bing platform usually updates the corresponding submission records immediately.
  • Other search engine webmaster platforms:

As an operations personnel, my experience is that the 'success' status recorded in the background is a good start, while the actual records in the search engine webmaster platform are the final confirmation.The combination of the two allows us to have a comprehensive and accurate grasp of the effectiveness of the link push.

What should you do if the push fails or the status is abnormal?

If the push record shows failure in the AnQiCMS backend, or the external search engine platform does not receive the expected link, you need to investigate:

Firstly, carefully check whether the API interface addresses and keys filled in the "Link Push" function in the AnQiCMS backend are completely correct, with no extra spaces or characters.Any minor error can lead to the failure of the push.

Check whether the server network connection of the website is normal, ensure that AnQiCMS can access the push interface of the search engine smoothly.Firewall rules or network configurations may sometimes hinder normal external communication.

Finally, check the AnQiCMS system's runtime log (if provided), as it may contain more detailed error information to help you locate the issue.In some cases, the push interface of the search engine may be temporarily unstable, and you can wait a little and try to push again.

By conducting detailed checks and validations, we can ensure that AnQiCMS's link push feature continues to effectively support the SEO performance of the website, allowing our high-quality content to be discovered faster and more widely by the target users.
