In content operations, ensuring that search engines quickly discover and index our pages is a key factor in increasing website traffic and visibility.The manual submission link is not only inefficient but also prone to omissions.Fortunately, AnQiCMS provides a convenient link push feature that helps us automatically submit new or updated pages to mainstream search engines like Baidu and Bing, thereby significantly improving the page inclusion efficiency.
Why is link push crucial for SEO?
Imagine a search engine as an ever-vigilant 'spider' crawling the internet, discovering new content.But the internet is vast as smoke and mist, they cannot know every update on our website in real time.It is particularly important to actively push for link connections at this time.Submit the new page URL directly to the search engine via the API interface, we are "notifying" them: "Hey, there's new content, come and crawl!quote
This proactive approach allows our page to be discovered by search engines faster, shortening the time from publication to indexing.For time-sensitive content or highly competitive industries, faster indexing means an earlier opportunity for exposure, winning valuable traffic for the website.The built-in link push function of AnQiCMS is exactly for this purpose, it simplifies the complex API call process into a few simple configuration steps, making it easy for users without a technical background to get started.
Configure Baidu Search Push API Interface
Please log in to your Baidu Search Resource Platform.Find the "API Submission" option under "General Inclusion" in the left menu.After entering this page, you will see a 'API Call Address' that includes your site URL and a dedicated Token.This address is the push interface address required by AnQiCMS backend.Please fully copy this address.
Next, log in to the AnQiCMS backend.In the left navigation bar, find 'Function Management' and then click 'Link Push' to enter the settings page.Paste the interface call address you just copied from Baidu Search Resource Platform into the input box of the 'Baidu Search Active Push Interface'.
After pasting, remember to click the save button.Thus, every time you publish a new document or update an existing document in AnQiCMS, the system will automatically submit the links of these pages to Baidu through the API, without the need for manual operation.
Configure Bing Search Engine Push API Interface
Method One: Use the 'Submit API' method
- You need to visit Bing Webmaster Tool (www.bing.com/webmasters/) and log in to your account.If the website has not been added, please complete the addition and verification of the website according to the prompts.
- After logging in, click the gear icon in the upper right corner to enter the "Settings" page. Here, you will find the "API Key" option, and copy your API key.
- Now, you need to concatenate the copied API key with the Bing's interface address. The base address of the interface is
https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=. Paste your API key directly inapikey=Later, form a complete URL, for example:)https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/api.svc/json/SubmitUrlbatch?apikey=你的API密钥Make sure there are no extra spaces in the link. - Paste this complete URL into the input box of the 'Bing Search Active Push Interface' on the 'Link Push' page under 'Function Management' in AnQiCMS backend.
Method Two: Use the “IndexNow API” method
- Firstly, you need to go to the official IndexNow page (www.bing.com/indexnow) where you will generate an API Key.
- After generating the API Key, you need to use it on your website's
publicin the directory{API Key}.txt[The file, and write your generated API Key content to this txt file. For example, if your API Key is]d2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227a[Then create a file named]d2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227a.txt[and write to]d2f0d24fc01e46c9be89c0d9b282227aThis string is written here, then uploaded to the AnQiCMS website.publicthe directory. - Then, combine the API Key with the base interface address of IndexNow.
https://www.bing.com/indexnow?key=To formhttps://www.bing.com/indexnow?key=你的API密钥Such a complete URL. - Paste this URL into the AnQiCMS backend "Function Management" -> "Link Push" page in the "Bing Search Active Push Interface" input box.
No matter which way you choose, after the configuration is complete, you also need to click the save button. AnQiCMS will automatically push the link to Bing for you.
JS automatic submission for other search engines
For search engines such as 360 Search, Toutiao Search, and others that currently do not provide an active push API interface, AnQiCMS also reserves a position for automatic submission using JS.You can obtain the corresponding JS push code on the webmaster platforms of these search engines.<head>Tags inside.
Retrieve the complete JS code (including<script>and</script>After labeling）, paste it into the input box of the 'Link Push' page under the 'Function Management' section of the AnQiCMS backend.The system will automatically embed these JS codes into your website page when generating the page.
It should be noted that this JS code is usually triggered by user access for submission, rather than real-time notifications like API pushes, which has a slightly different effect. If you need to manually control the output position of this JS code in your website template, you can use something similar to{{- pluginJsCode|safe }}Call this label to ensure that the code can be loaded and executed correctly.
Verify whether the link push is successful
After completing all the above configurations, we of course need to verify whether the link push function works properly.
The most direct test method is to publish a new document or update an existing document in the AnQiCMS backend.After the operation is completed, go back to the "Link Push" page under "Function Management" and click "View Recent Push Records".
- Baidu Push:If the push record contains the word 'success', it usually means the push is successful.However, there may be a certain delay in the data feedback from Baidu Search Resource Platform, and it may take until the next day to see the submission records in the background "API Submission" statistics.
- Bing Push:If the returned results contain
{"d":null}
If the push record shows a failure, please carefully check if the API key or interface address is entered correctly, whether the website has passed verification on the search engine platform, and ensure that the network connection is normal.
By using the link push feature of AnQiCMS, we can more efficiently manage the search engine inclusion of website content, allowing high-quality content to reach the target audience faster, and bringing sustained traffic growth to the website.
Common Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Ask: My website's Sitemap has already been submitted to search engines, why do I still need to configure link submission?Answer: Sitemap is to inform search engines about the pages on your website, equivalent to a map; while link submission is to actively inform search engines of new pages created or existing pages updated, equivalent to a delivery notice.The crawling frequency of the sitemap is uncertain, but active submission can help the search engine's 'spiders' discover new changes more promptly, significantly speeding up the page inclusion speed, which is particularly important for content with strong timeliness.
Ask: If link submission fails, how should I troubleshoot the problem?Answer: First, carefully check whether the Baidu or Bing API interface address and API key you entered in the AnQiCMS background are completely correct, with no extra spaces or characters.Secondly, confirm that your website has been successfully added and verified on Baidu Search Resource Platform or Bing Webmaster Tools.Finally, check if your server network is normal, and whether the firewall or security group rules are blocking access to the search engine API interface.If the issue still exists, you can try temporarily disabling the link push feature, then reconfigure it, and observe the detailed error information in the push log.
Ask: After setting up the link push, will all my pages be immediately indexed by search engines?Answer: The link push feature greatly enhances the discovery and crawling by search engines
